| Introductory activities |
It consists of a presentation session of the subject where the different sections contained in the teaching guide are exposed and explained (competences, program-contents, planning, methodology, evaluation, bibliographic resources, etc.) and where the students can propose any doubt or question related to them.
Both the teaching guide of the subject and the calendars and times of the course will be available on the CAmpus Virtual of UDC and on the website of the Faculty of Sciences of the UDC. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
50-minute face-to-face sessions on the basic content of the program. The teacher will explain the theoretical foundations of the subject through drawings, diagrams or computer presentations (content that will be made available to students through the Moodle platform). The teacher will also solve the doubts and questions raised by the students. Likewise, in order to make the most of the expository sessions, students are recommended to previously review the fundamental aspects of these topics in the recommended texts and to complete the proposed questionnaires referring to the theoretical aspects of the subject. |
| Laboratory practice |
In laboratory practices, in addition to addressing some theoretical aspects related to experimental methodologies, manual skills typical of simple Cell Biology techniques are acquired. The student must carry out a memory/report where the objective of each practice, the results obtained and the answers to questions related to the practices will be detailed. In addition, you must describe, draw and interpret the observations made. Attendance at practices is a necessary condition to be evaluated. In the event of circumstances that prevent attendance, these must be previously communicated to the teacher in charge and duly justified. During these sessions, the teacher will present the objectives of the practice and guide the observations of the students, clarifying any doubts that may arise. |
| Objective test |
Two of the teaching sessions in interactive groups will be dedicated to carrying out objective tests, in order to know the degree of assimilation of the contents taught. The delivered activities will be resolved and corrected during the same small group sessions, assuming 10% of the final grade. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test |
This category includes both the two partial/learning controls that will be carried out throughout the course, as well as the final exam on the theoretical and practical contents of the subject, all of them with multiple choice questions (selection of one option among several, true/false) and/or short answer (or relatively short) about the contents of the lectures and interactive teaching sessions. In this way it will be possible to know the way in which the students are assimilating the contents and improve the processes in progress and the performance achieved. |
| Collaborative learning |
Throughout the semester, 4 of the interactive teaching sessions will be devoted to group work. During them, various topics related to the contents of the subject will be dealt with and discussed, carrying out activities related to them for the resolution of which specific bibliography will be used (printed or using ICTs).
|
| Seminar |
In small groups of 10-12 students, they will work on a topic on the agenda designated in advance by the teacher, and of which each student will prepare a summary / outline / glossary of terms, which will give a written copy to the teacher at the end of the session . The session consists of the teacher-led sharing of what the group's students have extracted from their previous work on this topic.
There will be 2 sessions throughout the semester, both the delivery of the summary / outline / glossary of terms, as well as the active participation of the students computes 10% of the final grade for the course, with 5% corresponding to each of the sessions. |
