New advances in scientific knowledge mean that the causes of diseases are formulated, more frequently, at the molecular level. The study of this subject must serve the student to:
1. Know the vocabulary and basic terminology of Biochemistry.
2. Acquire the basic knowledge of Biochemistry and understand the complexity and functioning of biological processes at the molecular level.
3. Know the main chemical and structural properties of biological macromolecules, as well as the relationship between these properties and the various functions they perform.
4. Understand the molecular mechanisms used by living beings in the development of their functions, mainly in the processes of transduction and energy storage, biosynthesis and use of precursors, information routes, as well as the regulation of these from an integrated perspective.
5. Develop the ability to integrate the knowledge provided by this and other related subjects, and the ability to compare and relate concepts, in order to apply them to different clinical problems.
6. Understand the impact of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in today's society and its applications in the field of health.
7. Develop the capacity for autonomous learning.
8. Demonstrate reasoning ability, argumentation and memorization of the basic aspects of the subject.
9. Acquire familiarization with the main sources of information, both traditional and through new technologies, and demonstrate training to critically select the information.
10. Demonstrate ability to work as a team, with initiative to solve problems through the integrated application of the knowledge acquired, and flexibility before the contributions of colleagues.
11. Demonstrate the capacity to elaborate, present and publicly defend a work.

Relevant knowledge of and ability to apply basic and life sciences +.
Relevant knowledge and ability to apply problem solving and decision making +.
INTERPERSONAL COMPETENCES
Communication skills
Interpersonal skills
Capacity for teamwork
SCENARIO 1: Adapted normality
The expository and interactive teaching will be fundamentally face-to-face. The tutorials may be partially carried out virtually.
EXPOSITION TEACHING
Expositive teaching is conceived in order to enhance the autonomous learning of students. In the theoretical classes, the teacher will explain and explain the most relevant aspects of each topic, helping the students to reach the objectives of the subject.
INTERACTIVE TEACHING
Seminars will be held on topics related to the theoretical content of the subject and clinical cases will be discussed. The teacher will guide and guide the student in the learning process and preparation of the work.
There will be taught 24 hours of lectures and 24 hours of interactive teaching. Class attendance will be mandatory.
The information related to scenarios 2 and 3 appears in the "Observations" section.
SCENARIO 1: Adapted normality
The final tests will be face-to-face.
The information related to scenarios 2 and 3 appears in the "Observations" section.
EXPOSITIVE TEACHING - (60% of the total grade) = 6 points
The exam will be mixed and will consist of:
- multiple-choice multiple-choice questions with a single answer (4 possible answers and only one valid one) in which errors are penalized.
- Short questions through which the student must argue or follow a line of reasoning to justify their response.
INTERACTIVE TEACHING - (40% of the total grade) = 4 points
Content evaluation and presentation of works. Continuous evaluation.
It will be necessary to reach, at least, 50% of the total score in the evaluation of the expository teaching and 50% of the total score in the evaluation of the interactive teaching, to be able to overcome the subject.
Hours of personal work of the student, not in person.
Individual study: 54 hours
Elaboration of works: 24 hours
Library or similar activities: 12 hours
TOTAL: 90 hours
Use of the recommended bibliography for the study of the syllabus and the realization of the seminars.
Personalized elaboration of documents for the study of the themes of the program.
Use of the tutoring schedule to answer questions and receive guidance.
The continued study will facilitate the learning process, favoring a better understanding and assimilation of concepts.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
SCENARIO 2: DISTANCE
TEACHING METHODOLOGY:
-Expository teaching may be carried out in whole or in part in a virtual way, either with synchronous or asynchronous mechanisms. In interactive teaching, physical and telematic attendance can be combined, in any case guaranteeing for the first one a minimum of 50% of the practical hours of each subject.
-The scheduling of online tutorials will be prioritized.
EVALUATION SYSTEM:
-The final tests will preferably be telematic.
SCENARIO 3: CLOSURE OF THE FACILITIES
TEACHING METHODOLOGY:
-The teaching will be completely virtual, either with synchronous mechanisms or with asynchronous ones. The scheduling of tutorials will be exclusively by electronic means.
EVALUATION SYSTEM:
-The final tests will be telematic.
This program was prepared according to the indications of the agreement of the Governing Council of June 19, 2020, which regulates the "Bases for the development of safe classroom teaching in the academic year 2020-2021" and "Guidelines for development of a safe classroom teaching. Course 2020-2021 ”. Both the distribution of topics, as well as the order, teaching methodology or evaluation may undergo changes depending on the indications of the health authorities, the scenario in which we find ourselves and the available resources.
