Methodologies Description
Introductory activities A first session will be programmed, in which the different sections contained in the teaching guide will be presented (learning aims, contents, methodologies, assessment, sources of information...), and where the student may raise any doubt or question regarding the same. Teaching guide and a detailed schedule/timetable will be available to the students in the Moodle platform and Faculty of Science´s website.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Throughout the semester, 27 lectures of 50 minutes about the basic contents will be taught. Professor will explain the theoretical aspects of the subject help of drawings, diagrams and computer presentations (these contents, along with links to other files and web pages, videos..., will be available to the student in the Moodle platform). Professor will also resolve issues raised by the student. Explanations of the lectures will be assimilated by the student through the development of notes and subsequent study with the help of the recommended literature. Also, it is recommended that the student has previously reviewed the fundamental aspects of these lessons.
Laboratory practice A total of 15 hours of laboratory practice will be given, and these will be mandatory (and its realization required to pass the subject). Practical sessions will consist of observing different slides and identification of tissues and organs (both plant and animal), also addressing the fundamentals of basic histological techniques and their applications. During these sessions, professor will present the objectives of the practice and will guide the student observations, making clear the doubts that arise about the identity of the observed structures.
Collaborative learning Throughout the semester, 6 sessions (50 minutes long), will be spent working in small groups (approximately 10 students). During collaborative learning sessions, various issues related to the contents of the subject will be addressed (and discussed), and will be performed activities for which will be used specific literature (printed or through the use of electronic resources).
Objective test Two of the collaborative learning sessions will be dedicated to make objective testing, to determine the degree of assimilation of the contents. The delivered activities shall be resolved in small groups.
Mixed objective/subjective test Student will be assessed continuously through test questions and/or short-answer questions about the contents of lectures and small group sessions (collaborative learning sessions). Two theoretical and one practical exams will be made during the semester, and a final exam for students who either have not passed these theoretical examinations and/or practical, or have not been presented to them.
