| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | There will be 14 lectures of 90 minutes. The teacher will present and explain the contents of the subject using both electronic resources and blackboard. Active participation from students is also expected. The teacher will also answer students questions. Students should take notes during the class. This material should be used later for studying and reviewing. Students will have in moodle reviewing questions to help to focus in the main concepts and for deeper learning. Prior to the class, it is advised that students get familiar with the material of next lecture. One of the classes will be used for a test. |
| Seminar | There will be 14 seminars to which students will attend in small groups (about 20 students). Under the supervision of the teacher, students will perform different activities related with the contents of the subject (collaborative learning, problem solving, identification of structures in photographies, etc.) |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | During the course, students will be evaluated through various written tests. This will show students progress and, if necessary, it will allow identifying any problem and take actions to improve the development of the course. There will be a theoretical exam within the term, and a final exam at the end of the term. |
| Oral presentation | Students will present in the class an assay related with the contents of the course. This assay will be prepared in small groups (2/3 students). This will be evaluated together with the written assay. |
| Supervised projects | Students will write an assay in small groups (2/3 students). In this assay, they will explain the cell or genetic basis of a non infectious disease. It is recommended to ask the teacher if there is any doubt on the theme of the assay. The progress in the assay will be followed by using Moodle and email. |
| Workbook | During the term, students will read fragments of scientific articles and news related with the contents of the subject. |
| Personalized attention |

| Assessment | |||
| Methodologies | Competencies | Description | Qualification |
| Supervised projects | B1 B5 B8 C1 | Student must writte a project regarding the cellular or genetic basis of a non infectious dissease. | 10 |
| Seminar | A2 A5 B1 B5 B8 C1 | Active participation in seminars and tutorials, as well as performing the requested activities. | 15 |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | A2 A5 C1 | There will be an written exam during the term and a final exam at the end of the term. Exams will consist of different question types (e.g. multiple choise, true/false questions, short answer questions) about contents of lectures, seminars and tutorials. In addition, students can pass the subject in the opportunity of July. |

| Assessment comments | |||
|
<p>To calculate the final grade, students must get a minimum of 5 in the written exam/s and in their assay, both at the end of the term and in July. </p><p>At the end of the term and in order to calculate the final grade, the teacher will take into account the exam/s and participation in the different activities of the class. Part time students must present a document containing the evaluable activities,including the assay. The deadline for presenting this material will be the day of the final exam (first opportunity). In the early and second oportunity (July), students (part or full time) must pass a written exam (75% of the final grade) and submit an assay (25% of final grade). </p><p>“No presentado” will be applied to students that did not participate in any activity that is part of the evaluation process.</p><p>“Matricula de Honor” will be awarded preferentially within students that pass at the end of the term, rather than in July. </p>

lthough there are no prerequisites to study the subject, it is recommended that the student has basic knowledge of cell biology and biochemistry. It is also advisable to have the ability to analyze and synthesize, manage information, as well as skills for planning time, problem solving and teamwork. It is recommended that students entering through advanced vocational training or vocational training courses have completed sanitary branches. </ P> <p> Briefness in time entails the danger that students are not yet adapted to the system of education. study and own work of the university studies. This could lead to failure if the process of adaptation and mentalization is not done properly. In this sense, constant study and periodic reviews are important as the subject progresses. It is strongly recommended to read or work on the subject of master classes / seminars / guided discussions (tutorials) as well as to take notes or notes during them. It is recommended that students find a special difficulty in following the classes or in addressing the topics that make up the program of the subject using individualized tutoring in the time reserved for it (see schedule on moodle platform). 1.- The delivery of the documentary works that are made in this subject: It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them To be made on paper: - Plastics will not be used. - Double-sided prints will be made. - Recycled paper will be used. - Draft erasers will be avoided. 2.- The sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the environment must be carried out natural 3. The complete integration of students will be provided regardless of gender or their physical, sensory, psychic or sociocultural background |
