Methodologies Description
Introductory activities The first hour of the course will be dedicated to the presentation of the subject. The theoretical program will be briefly presented and the different activities will be explained, as well as the evaluation system. Although attendance is not compulsory, it is highly RECOMMENDED.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Guest lectures (27 sessions with a duration of 50 minutes each) will be conducted through oral sessions with the support of audiovisual media. In them, 19 units with the main contents of the subject will be presented. The material used in these sessions will be available to students through the Moodle platform. Although attendance is not compulsory, it is highly RECOMMENDED.
Seminar Seminars will be conducted during theory hours in interactive groups. They will focus on some of the most relevant topics previously dealt with in the guest lectures, for which activities of different nature will be carried out: watching videos, elaboration of materials, presentation of papers, etc. The activities and/or associated short tests, carried out in the context of these seminars, will be considered as part of the individual evaluation of the student. Although participation in them is not compulsory, it is highly RECOMMENDED.
Laboratory practice The laboratory practices are COMPULSORY. In them, different organisms will be handled (sometimes using a virtual environment) in order to study the different functions addressed in the theoretical program.
Supervised projects Students can carry out, in small groups and OPTATIVELY, a work that will allow them to deepen in the physiology of a particular group/species. Its elaboration will be periodically supervised by the teachers, in person or using telematic means (e-mail, Moodle or Microsoft Teams).
Objective test Test that combines different types of questions on the main aspects/contents of the theoretical program. Alternatively, students will have the possibility of taking 3 partial objective tests throughout the course that will allow them to pass the course through continuous evaluation.
