Qualificació

EVALUATION: 50% CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT + 50% FINAL EXAM

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT(50%):

- MIDTERM EXAM (20%): 25 multiple choice questions covering part of the course. Each question has only one true answer. Each correct answer scores +1 point. Each wrong answer will be penalized (questions with 4 possible choices, -0.25 points; questions with 2 choices, -1 points).

- ORAL COMMUNICATION of topic related to the subject in working groups (20%). Students who already passed the oral communication (minimum grade of 5), the scored mark will be kept for the current course.

- EXAM of the ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (10%): 15 multiple choice questions covering the essential concepts of the oral communications. Each question has only one true answer. Each correct answer scores +1 point. Each wrong answer will be penalized (questions with 4 possible choices, -0.25 points; questions with 2 choices, -1 points). 2nd year students have also to take this exam.

FINAL EXAM (50%): 50 multiple choice questions (8/10 points) + 2 short questions (2/10 points) covering the entirety of the course (excluding the content of the oral presentations). Each question has only one true answer. Each correct answer scores +1 point. Wrong answers will be penalized (questions with 4 choices: -0.25 points; questions with 2 choices: -1 points).

For continuous asessment, a minimum of 4/10 points in the final exam is required in order to calculate the mean qualification of the whole subject.

A minimum grade of 5/10 is required to pass the subject.

Those students who fail the course (less than 5/10) will be eligible to take the BASIC COMPETENCES EXAM: 20 multiple choice questions (8/10 points) + 1 short question (2/10 points). Each correct answer scores +1 point. Each wrong answer will be penalized (questions with 4 possible choices, -0.25 points; questions with 2 choices, -1 points). In this exam, if passed (minimum of 5/10), the maximum grade given will be 5 and will be the course qualification.

Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
Students are required to participate in the assessment activities during the course (midterm exam, oral communication, exam of the oral communications, final exam) or the unique assessment. On the contrary, will be considered as non-attendance.

Avaluació única:
The evaluation system in EUSES - UdG is based, in general, in the continuous assessment. If the student wishes to take part in the unique pathway, he / she will need to request it in writing to the lecturer of the subject and the degree coordinator during the first two weeks of the Semester.

Requisits mínims per aprovar:
A minimum grade of 5.0 will be required to pass the subject.

Tutoria

The tutorials will be carried out in person in enabled classrooms, and also virtually.

Comunicacio i interacció amb l'estudiantat

Communication and interaction with the students will be done in person and virtually throughout the forum of Moodle, video-conferencing means and email.

Observacions

Learning outcomes:

- Distinguishing the structure of biomolecules and its determining factors in order to understand how it conditions their functionality.
- Knowing the main structures of the eukaryotic animal cell and its function.
- Knowing and understanding cell specialization and its organization in tissues.
- Knowing the factors determining the membrane potential and its voltage variations in response to different stimuli generating action potentials.
