Assessment and Grading

Assessment activities:

Description of the activity Assessment Activity % Remediable subject
Lab Projects Simulation of a surgical gesture using the robots in the lab. The developed surgical gesture must be acorded with the teachers of the module. Compulsory activity. 50 Yes
Special lab sessions (Rob Surgical Systems + Da Vinci-H. Trueta) Special practical sessions in Rob Surgical Systems (UPC) and Da Vinci facilities in Hospital Josep Trueta (Girona). Compulsory activity. 5 No
Lecture activity Presentation of a work related to medical robotics in front of the classroom. The contents of the work must be acorded with the teachers of the module. Compulsory activity. 30 Yes
Extra works (Invited professors) Test about the contents of the seminar. Compulsory activity. 15 Yes

Grading

Test about the contents of the seminar. Compulsory activity. 15 % of the mark.

Lab Projects: Simulation of a surgical gesture using the robots in the lab. The developed surgical gesture must be acorded with the teachers of the module. Compulsory activity. 50 % of the mark.

Special lab sessions (Rob Surgical Systems + Da Vinci-H.Trueta): Special practical sessions in Rob Surgical Systems (UPC) and Da Vinci facilities in Hospital Josep Trueta (Girona). Compulsory activity. 5 % of the mark.

If any fraudulent actions are detected in any type of academic activity (unauthorized use of information, use of false information, use of unauthorized devices, impersonation, total or partial plagiarism, buying and selling of exams, assignments, and papers, etc.), the involved students will automatically fail the course. Depending on the type of fraudulent act, the School's Administration will initiate the appropriate procedures in accordance with the University Coexistence Law 3/2022 of February 24th (https://www.boe.es/eli/en/l/2022/02/24/3).

Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
No participating in Lab project (it is compulsory to go to the lab during the scheduled sessions)
No participating in Special Lab Sessions
No preparing / participating in Lecture Activity
No participating in test

Single Assessment:
Realization of an examination (it can be oral) about all the theoretical and practical contents of the module.

Previously an alternative practical project must be also delivered to the teachers of the module. The contents of this practical module must be acorded with the teachers.

The final grade will be 50% of the exam and 50% of the practical project.

Minimum requirements to pass:
Minimum mark for the module: 5

Minimum mark for all the evaluation activities: 4

Mentorship

The e-mail will be the main way to ask for a meeting with the teachers of the module.
It will be possible to organize meetings, if it is necessary, using the proper methods (in person or using virtual tools)

Communication and interaction with students

Mainly the moodle of the module
e-mail
We will organize meetings (individual and/or groupal), if it is necessary, using the proper methods (in person or using virtual tools)
