Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
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.

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.

Assessment comments

General considerations:

Students will have two official opportunities to pass
the subject. Likewise, there will be 2 partial theoretical exams and a
practical exam during the semester.



As already mentioned, the practices are compulsory and
their completion is necessary to pass the subject.



The grade of Not Presented will be applied in the
event that the student does not appear for the corresponding tests in the
official evaluation opportunities.

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
and academic waiver of attendance exemption



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.
