STUDENTS QUALIFIED AS "NOT PRESENT":

The NP (not present) qualification will be given to those students who do not participate in all Laboratory sessions, and who have not attended the final exams. Students who sucessfully complete the laboratory course but choose not sit for the exam will not pass the course. All pass qualifications received in the course (laboratory, seminars, etc.) will be kept for the second opportunity (July).

LAB PRACTICES:

Sinceattendance to laboratory sessions is required to pass the course, failure to attend without justification (see the list of valid reasonsin Article 12 of the "Normas da avaliación, revisión e reclamación dascualificacións dos estudos de Grao e Mestrado Universitario" vixente)involves the following:

a) Missing one of the sessions without justification implies a 50% reduction of the final grade,

b) Missing more than one session implies failing the course.

Labpractices will be performed exclusively during the official schedule.

STUDENTS WITH ACADEMIC DISPENSATIONS:

Theevaluation will be distributed as follows:

a) The labpractices represent a maximum value of 1.5 points. They are mandatory and canbe made within the official calendar on any morning or afternoon shift. In thecase of unexcused absence, the same criteria as described above for full-time studentswill be applied.

b) The supervisedproject represents a maximum of 1 point. It is optional.

c) Theobjective test represents a maximum value of 7.5 points. The same criteria as described for full-timestudents will be applied, proportionally.

STUDENTS WITH ACADEMIC ADAPTATIONS:
In the case of students with specific learning needs, and in accordance with the indications of the University Unit for Attention to Diversity (ADI), the teacher will adapt the continuous and compulsory assessment activities so that the student can pass the subject.

FAILING MARK:

If a student, having an average qualification higher than 5, fails the minimum qualification in any activity, they will have a qualification of 4.5, i.e., fail.

Methodologies	Description
Introductory activities	The first day of class the teacher will facilitate the program of the subject, the methodology and the assessment criteria, as well as a detailed calendar of each of the activities. This information will remain available for the student in the Moodle platform.
Document analysis	We will inform the students of the necessary bibliographical sources, both for problems, theory and assisted assignments. Thus, they will be able to revise and build on the aspects explained in the classroom. The individual tutorial sessions will also help to better understand the contents of the course.
Laboratory practice	Along the six Laboratory sessions students will carry out different practices. A guide for each practice will be given to the student, and they will have all the necessary materials in order to complete the task. At all times students will be assisted by the teacher to resolve any doubts and receive assistance if necessary. At the end of laboratory course, each student will present a report including the completed tasks and the obtained results. Prior to the Laboratory sessions there will be a room session to explain the basis of experimental uncertainties and graphical representations.
Problem solving	After each lesson, there will be Seminars (with a reduced number of students) in order to apply the studied concepts through solving problems. The proposed problems for each lesson will be given to the students beforehand as bulletins. There, we will include the numerical solution of each problem, so students can assess their own skills. Those bulletins will be of two different types: some of them are general, the same for all students of the three groups, and some are complementary, specific for each seminar group. Not all problems will be completely resolved in the Seminars, but only the more difficult ones.
Objective test	There will be two written exams about the theory and numerical problems saw in classroom. The first one at the middle of the course and the second one at the end. The students who pass each of those exams will have that part of the subject passed for the Final exams of June (and July).
Guest lecture / keynote speech	The basic content of the different parts of the course will be explained by the teacher in these sessions, trying to involve students in the learning process. The materials used at each session will be available in the Moodle platform after the session.
Supervised projects	The students will be able to complete complementary supervised projects on a voluntary basis. These tasks will conducted in pairs and they will be focused on applications of Physics to Biology.

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practice	A26 A30 A31 B5 B8	The total score of the practices will represent 1.5 points on the final grade and the evaluation will be based on the submitted report. Attendance to the introductory lecture and to all laboratory sessions is a necessary condition to be evaluated, therefore, they are mandatory. Practices will be considered passed when reaching a minimum of 0.7 points out of 1.5.	15
Problem solving	A22 A26 B1 B2 B8	Participation in the Seminars will represent 0.5 points on the final mark.	5
Objective test	A22 A26 B2 B10	The maximum qualification of the theoretical tests carried out during the course is 21% of the final mark, while the corresponding to the exercises tests represents 49% of the final mark. The student must achieve a minimum sum of 4 points out of 10 (theory and exercises) in order to pass the course.	70
Supervised projects	B3 B4 B5 B8 B10	The score of the supervised project will be a maximum of 1 point on the final grade.	10
