Description |
Introductory activities |
Presentation of the course and the selected syllabus. |
Lecture |
Development of the theoretical syllabus. |
Seminars |
Specific topics on immunological techniques applied to the clinic and biotechnology will be discussed. Advances in the area of immunotherapy will be explained and discussed. |
Presentations / oral communications |
Students must present an immune problem given by the teacher (in the clinical or technological area) and will have to propose a solution to solve it by applying the knowledge acquired. |
Personal attention |
Resolution of doubts related to the subject. |
Description |
It is recommended to send an email to the responsible teacher to establish a favorable day and time for both. |

Other comments and second exam session |
- In order to average the final grade it is essential to pass the partial tests (mixed tests) with a minimum of 4/10 in each partial.
- In order to pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 5/10 once all the partials and evaluable methodologies have been counted.
2nd CALL FIRST PART: Corresponding to Master Sessions (mixed tests) and Seminars. Objective tests to develop, test questions and/or short questions. The student must obtain at least 40% of the score of this part to be evaluated. During the evaluation tests, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that are not expressly authorized by the test must be turned off and out of sight. The demonstratively fraudulent realization of any evaluative activity of any subject in both material and virtual and electronic support entails the student the failure mark of this evaluative activity. Regardless of this, given the seriousness of the facts, the center can propose the initiation of a disciplinary file, which will be initiated by resolution of the rector. |
