In person

1) Students in first call: 

• Partial exam: 15%
• Class activities - Immunology: 10%
• Class activities - Microbiology - Oral presentation: 10%
• Lab practice: 10%
• Final exam: 55% 

Teachers reserve 5% of the mark to be granted on subjective items such as: involvement, participation, respect for basic standards, etc.

2) Students in second call: same criteria as in the first call. 

3) Students repeating the subject: lab practices grades will be kept. If students wish, these activities can be repeated obtaining a new mark.Students must communicate their decision to the responsible professor one week prior the start of the practices. In case that students cannot participate in some activities from the continuous evaluation due to schedule incompatibility, they must contact the professor in charge of the subject one week prior the start of the activity.

General considerations about the assessment system:  

EVALUATION SYSTEM:

1) In the final exam, a minimum grade of 5 must be obtained in order to be able to average the marks of continuous evaluation (partial exam, class activities and lab practices). A second call of the final exam will be organized, with the same criteria than the first call. Rounding to the first decimal will be applied, meaning that a mark below 4.95 will not be considered a passed final exam.

2) In adition to (1), to pass the subject the average of all the evaluations items must be 5 or more, applying the same rounding rule used in (1).

3) In the granting of grades with Honors, special consideration will be given to participation in the lab practices, general attitude and involvment in the subjetc, lecture participaction, etc. 

EXAMS AND ORAL PRESENTATIONS:

1) The final exam will be face-to-face in the classroom, both in the 1st and 2nd sitting.

2) The partial exams will be also face-to-face in the classroom, following the same system used for the final exam.

3) Both partial and final exam will be test-type and marked as follows: 1 point for each correct answer, - 0.25 points for every wrong answer. Non - marked options will not have an impact in the grade. Obtained points will be divided by the number of questions to obtain the final mark for each exam.

4) The partial exam (from the continuous evaluation) does not remove topics from the final test.

5) The final exam will include the content given in lectures and oral presentations.

6) Is not mandatory to do the partial exam, oral presentations or class activities. In that case, the grade for the affected category will be 0.

7) Lab practices will be evaluated by short tests-type exams, with the same characteristics of the partial exam.

ATTENDANCE:

1) Attendance to practical lessons is compulsory and students must attend in the assigned groups. Not attending these sessions will make the student fail the subject.

2) Attendance to lectures and class activities will not be registered, but in order to get the best possible results it is highly recommended to attend to the maximum number of sessions. Students will have to follow the standards indicated by the instructors. The expulsion of student from class will have a negative impact on the evaluation.

GENERAL:

The improper use of electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets or laptops may result in class expulsion. Misuse is understood as recording and dissemination of students or teachers during the different lessons as well as the use of these devices for recreational and non-educational purposes. The diffusion without authorization of content uploaded at Moodle (oral presentations, slides from lectures) is forbidden.
