In the presentation of the subject a detailed breakdown of the recommended bibliography will be made.
We recommend the use of both basic and complementary internet resources specified in the Bibliography section, as well as that electronic access bibliography available at the USC Library. A BUSC EN LIÑA (https://busconline.gal). Also, through portico (http://sfx.bugalicia.org/san/az) and EZproxy (https: // ezbusc), managed by BUGalicia, it will be possible to search for scientific journals and electronic books (with the credentials of the USC). For specific topics, teachers may provide open access articles or recommend searching through PubMed or Google Schoolar.

Scenario 1 (adapted normality):
• Lectures with ICT support and with the systematic use of the Virtual Campus to support teaching. The classroom attendance will be combined with the application of hygienic measures (hydrogel, mandatory mask when it is not possible to guarantee the minimum safety distance). Exceptionally, classroom teaching may be combined with virtual teaching up to 10% of the total hours of the subject.
• Autonomous face-to-face practical work in small groups and supervised by the teacher.
• Independent study of each student.
• Tutorials, either face-to-face or telematic.
Students will attend the lectures and may intervene in the debates that arise.
The practical work will be carried out in small groups (maximum 15 students), using the biological material and / or the anatomical models corresponding to each thematic block and using the guides or manuals that have been provided, as well as how much bibliography as thery consider.
For independent study, the student can use the recommended bibliography and any other material collected during the master classes and practical sessions.
In the event that the health situation in the region requires it, the modifications to the teaching methodology contemplated in the "Contingency Plan" section, included in the "observations" section, must be observed.
Scenario 1 (adapted normality):
- Regular attendance at lectures and compulsory scheduled practical activities / In order to take the final exam, it is necessary to attend 100% of the practical sessions.
- Dominace of global knowledge through final exam of the complete course: 50% of the global grade.
- Dominance of theoretical and practical knowledge through continuous assessment during the development of the practices: 50% of the overall grade. It is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points (out of 10) in each part (theory and practice) to proceed to calculate the final average mark.
Attendance at interactive sessions is mandatory and their evaluation will be continuous, so the dispensation of assistance to them does not proceed.
In accordance with the biosafety regulations that can be consulted in the Virtual Classroom, the use of a mask, a white lab coat, disposable gloves and rubber boots is required to access the practice room; In order to carry out the work, it is necessary to bring basic dissection material: scalpel, tweezers and scissors. It is optional but advisable to use safety glasses. At the entrance of the room there are also the basic biosafety rules that the students must observe in the room; Any questions in this regard will be resolved by the teaching staff. Additionally, hygienic measures will be maintained or implemented based on current health recommendations (hydrogel, mandatory mask when it is not possible to guarantee the minimum safety distance, etc ...).
In the event of plagiarism, fraud or improper use of technologies during the realization of telematic tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for the assessment of academic performance of two students and for the review of qualifications” will apply.
In the event that the sanitary situation in the region requires it, the modifications to the evaluation system contemplated in the “Contingency Plan” section, included in the “observations” section, must be observed.
PRESENTIAL WORK:
- Lectures: 37 hours
- Practical sessions: 37 hours
- Tutorials: 1 hour
Total hours of presential work: 75 hours

- Bibliographic review, library, etc.: 7 hours
- Examinations: 4 hours
- Other tasks proposed by the lecturer: 9 hours
Total hours of autonomous work of the student: 75 hours
TOTAL HOURS: 150
Regular attendance to lectures and practical sessions is necessary to pass the subject.
It is of great value to make use of the tutorial classes.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
Teaching methodology
Scenario 2 (distancing):
• Lectures taught synchronously and electronically through Ms Teams or any other platform designed and approved for this purpose. The telematic classes will be complemented with the systematic use of the Virtual Campus to support teaching.
• Autonomous face-to-face practical work in small groups and supervised by the teacher. The classroom attendance time may be reduced up to 50%, depending on the health recommendations, so that it allows the distance measures to be promoted and the same time bands are maintained for each group of practices. In the case of reduced attendance in interactive teaching, this will be complemented with telematic training activities. Hygiene and sanitary measures will be mandatory, and will be reinforced, based on current health recommendations (hydrogel, mandatory mask when it is not possible to guarantee the minimum safety distance, etc.).
• Independent study of each student.
• Tutoring, only telematic.
Scenario 3 (closure of facilities):
• Lectures taught electronically through Ms Teams or any other platform designed and approved for this purpose. The telematic classes will be complemented with the systematic use of the Virtual Campus to support teaching.
• Practical sessions will take place virtually, keeping the scheduled times and using the Virtual Classroom of the subject as support, as well as the Ms Teams and other authorized institutional platforms.
• Independent study of each student.
• Tutoring, only telematic.
Evaluation system
Scenario 2 (distancing):
- Regular attendance to synchronous telematic lectures and compulsory to scheduled practical activities / In order to take the exam, it is necessary to attend 100% of the practical sessions, including face-to-face work and work carried out virtually through authorized institutional platforms.
- Dominance of global knowledge through final exam of the complete course: 50% of the global grade. The final exam of the subject will be carried out synchronously electronically, although if the health regulations allow it, this test can be done in person, adopting the hygienic-sanitary measures established.
- Dominance of theoretical and practical knowledge through continuous assessment during the development of the practices: 50% of the overall grade. The continuous evaluation of the practical activity will be carried out by combining face-to-face and telematic tests, both synchronous and asynchronous.
It is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points (out of 10) in each part (theory and practice) to proceed to calculate the final average mark.
Attendance at interactive sessions is mandatory and their evaluation will be continuous, so the dispensation of assistance to them does not proceed.
In the event of plagiarism, fraud or improper use of technologies during the realization of telematic tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for the assessment of academic performance of two students and for the review of qualifications” will apply.

Scenario 3 (closure of facilities):
- Regular attendance to the lectures sessions and compulsory to the programmed virtual practical activities, both synchronous and asynchronous / In order to take the exam, it is necessary to complete 100% of the virtual practical activities programmed through the enabled platforms.
- Dominance of global knowledge through final exam of the complete course: 50% of the global grade. The final exam of the subject will be carried out synchronously online.
- Dominance of theoretical and practical knowledge through continuous assessment during the development of virtual practical activities: 50% of the overall grade. The continuous evaluation of the practical activity will be carried out by means of synchronous and asynchronous telematic tests.
It is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points (out of 10) in each part (theory and practice) to proceed to calculate the final average mark.
