Qualificació
The 50% of the grade will be achieved by presenting a final project, which will consist of a scientific report developed by a team of two students. During the first weeks of the course, a gene and a protein will be randomly assigned to each pair of students. Both parts (gene and protein) require a minimum grade of 4,6 points in order to contribute to the total grade of the final project, which must be of at least 5 points. Students who fail one or both parts will be able to retake them, and in that case, the maximum grade for the part will be 6 points.
Continuous assessment activities will consist of a total of 7 tasks distributed throughout the course, and they will equal and represent the remaining 50% of the grade. The average grade must be of at least 5 points. Those students with an average under 5 will be able to retake the failed activities by presenting a specific task along with the final project. This conditions will only apply to those students with an average of continuous assessment activities under 5 points. Therefore, it is not possible to retake a single task if the average grade is 5 or more points.
In order to pass the course both parts (project and continuous assesment) must have a minimum punctuation of 5.
Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
No delivery of the final Project.
Avaluació única:
Under particular circumstances authorized by Science Department of UdG, students will be able to request to invoke a unique examination. That assessment will require the student to develop individually the final project, which will contain additional parts in order to cover the topics evaluated in the continuous assessment activities.
Requisits mínims per aprovar:
The minimum score required to pass is an average final grade of 5 points.
The minimum score required to pass the continuous assessment activities is a minimum average score of five points.
The minimum score required to pass the final project is a minimum average score of five points, and a minimum of 4,6 points must be obtained for each part.
Attendance is mandatory.
Tutoria
The students will be able to set up private tutorials by email request.
Comunicacio i interacció amb l'estudiantat
For each topic there will be forums available.

Modificació del disseny
Modificació de les activitats:
Blended learning course scenario.
Half of the activities will be offered on-site in the informatics classroom and the remaining will be performed online with the support materials provided by the teachers.
Lockdown scenario.
All the activities and tasks will be performed online, and the teaching support materials will be adapted to this new scenario.
Handling of vulnerable students or students under temporal quarantine.
We will provide these students with the same teaching supporting materials adapted to the lockdown scenario and/or live streaming of the lectures.
Modificació de l'avaluació:
The assessment criteria will remain the same in all scenarios. The 50% of the final grade will depend on the final project and the other 50%, on the average grade of the 7 continuous assessment tasks.
Tutoria i comunicació:
If needed, private tutorials will be conducted online via Google Meet or Microsoft Teams
