MAGISTRAL LESSONS
The professor will develop the theoretical contents of the program, supported by blackboard diagrams, digital projections and/or other audiovisual media. A virtual classroom will be opened for each subject and a public tutoring forum will be established. Tutorials will be face-to-face or virtual.
INTERACTIVE LESSONS
In the interactive sessions the students will analyze and test the contents exposed in the lectures and will acquire competences in the field of skills and abilities (interactive simulations, genetics problems, preparation and analysis of cells and tissues under the microscope, etc.).
In the laboratory, each student, provided with his corresponding lab coat, will perform all the steps that will be indicated in the practical program. In the observation of microscopic samples, the student will observe with the optical microscope various tissue samples and will learn to describe and recognize them.
To complement the theoretical teaching there will be seminars related to the contents of the course, where practical exercises will be performed or images of microscopic preparations will be projected, using the active-participative methodology and encouraging communication and participation of the student.
Attendance to the expository and interactive classes will be mandatory.
The evaluation of the expository and interactive teaching will be carried out in person. The final grade will include:
1) Expository teaching (60% of the final grade): it will be a final test with multiple-choice objective questions with a single answer.
2) Interactive teaching (40 % of the final grade) will be the sum of the continuous evaluations carried out throughout the semester. These tests will be mainly in person, however the institutional platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams) may also be used. continuous evaluation consist of:
- tests in the seminar room and in the laboratory (interpretation of cytological or histological images).
- problem solving and tutored work.
- active participation in interactive classes.
The final grade will be the sum of the grades of the a final test and the continuous evaluation. In adittion, to pass this course, students must obtain at least 40% of the maximum grade in each of these sections, i.e. 2.4 points in the expository teaching and 1.6 points in the interactive.
Contact hours: 58 hours (30 hours for theoretical expositions; 22 hours for interactive classes and 6 hours for tutorial classes.
Non-contact hours: 92 hours to prepare the themes and to write tutelary papers.
It is recommended that the students prepare the themes before they had been presented in the theoretical and interactive sessions. It is also important for students to have the subject up to date for a better understanding of the concepts, since the program is planned in such a way that the understanding of one lesson is required to understand the following one.
Contingency plan
Taking into account the situation generated by covid-19 and the provisions of the health authorities, the adaptations of the teaching methodology and the evaluation system predicted for scenarios 2 and 3 will be carried out, according to the contingency plan for the development of teaching in the academic year 2021-22 approved by the Governing Council on 30 April 2021.
Adaptation of the contents:
The contents will be the same in all three scenarios, although they can be reorganized, especially in scenario 3 (closure of the facilities) to adapt them to completely remote teaching
Adaptations to the teaching methodology (scenario 2-3)
Scenario 2: Distance (partial restrictions on physical attendance)
On-site and remote teaching will be combined in order to apply the social distancing measures in force at that time. Institutional tools and platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams) will be used for this purpose.
Scenario 3: Closure of the facilities
The teaching will be exclusively virtual, using the institutional tools and platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams).
Adaptations to assessment system (scenario 2-3)
Scenario 2: distancing (partial restrictions on physical attendance)
The final tests will be held in person. The resources of the institutional platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams) may be used for the continuous evaluation.
Scenario 3: Closure of the facilities
The final tests will be carried out using resources that guarantee the identification of the student, as well as the personal nature of the test. In the event that the technical means are not available to guarantee the fulfilment of these premises, an oral final test will be used. The continuous evaluation will be carried out by means of remote activities using the institutional tools and platforms (Virtual Classroom-Moodle and Microsoft Teams).
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the rules of the Regulations for the assessment of students' academic performance and the review of qualifications (Resolution of 15 June 2011, DOG of 21 July 2011) will apply.
