Mixed objective/subjective test | A1 A29 B4 B8 | Two theoretical partial exams will be made during the semester (the first will include lessons 1-9 of the program and will represent 40%, while the second partial will include lessons 10-22 and will represent 60%), and a final exam for students who either have not passed these theoretical examinations and/or practical, or have not been presented to them. These theoretical examinations consist of multiple choice questions (multiple choice) and/or short-answer questions (or relatively short-answer questions) about the contents of lectures and small group sessions. | 60 |
Objective test | A1 A29 B3 B5 B8 | Two tests will be done: the first will include contents related to plant histology, and the second will address contents related to animal histology. These tests will consist of a combination of different types of questions: multiple-choice questions, short answer, essay type questions, identification schemes/images, complete and/or association. |

Guest lecture / keynote speech | A1 A29 | Attendance and active participation at theoretical (lectures and small groups) and practical classes is necessary for assessment. |
5 |
Laboratory practice | A1 A4 A5 A11 A29 A30 A31 B3 B4 B5 | Students will make a practical examination which will represent 25% of the final grade. The practical examination shall consist of the identification, interpretation and analize of images of histological sections and/or slides, both plant and animal. It may also include questions relating to the fundamentals and applications of basic histological techniques. |

Assessment comments | |||
General considerations: Students will have two official opportunities to pass
Aspects and evaluation criteria: 1. Full-time students In the opportunity of the end of the semester (first opportunity), the different sections collected in the evaluation system will be taken into account for the computation of the global qualification, each of these must be passed to proceed to the calculation of the final qualification. As already indicated, there will be two theoretical partial exams (and one practical) during the semester (the first of the theoretical partial exams will represent 40%, while the second one will represent 60%), as well as a final exam for students who either have not passed these exams, or have not taken them, representing 60% of the final grade. The practical exam will account for 25% of the final grade. The realization of the objective tests during the sessions in small group will suppose 10% of the final qualification, while the attendance and active participation in the theoretical classes (lectures and sessions in small group) and practices will suppose 5% of the final qualification. On the second opportunity, the theoretical (all parts) and/or practical parts may be recovered, assuming 75% and 25% of the final grade, respectively. 2. Students with recognition of part-time dedication Both in the first opportunity and in the second opportunity, the qualification obtained in the theoretical exam and the one corresponding to the practical part will be taken into account for the computation of the overall qualification (see format of both above), representing 75% and 25% of the final grade, respectively. Note: In order for the qualifications in the different activities subject to evaluation to be taken into account, it is necessary to pass (reach 50% of the qualification) each of the sections/tests that make up the evaluation system. If this score is not achieved in any of them and even if the average of the different sections/tests is equal to or greater than 5, the subject will appear as a failure and the grade will be 4.9. The fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities will entail the application of current regulations in this regard. |
