Methodologies

Description |
| Introductory activities |
The introduction of the subject will be done during the first hour of class and will consist of a presentation of its syllabus, its contextualization in the degree (indicating those subjects with which it is more related) and presenting the methodology that will be used for his teaching. |
| Lecture |
Exhibition of the contents of the subject. |
| IT-based practicals in computer rooms |
This is a subject with a very practical approach. In order to achieve this, the practices have been designed in a way that complements the theory provided in class and facilitates the acquisition of the indispensable abilities for the structural analysis of biological macromolecules as well as the understanding of the correlation between its structure and function they perform. |
| Personal attention |
Students can consult their questions directly to the teacher going to their office (at 106) during the visit hours (see institutional website) or also sending an email from moodle. |
|
Description |
|
Time each teacher has reserved to attend and answer questions to students. Due to the health emergency, student care may be carried out through online meetings, at previously arranged times by email, or through other virtual tools. |

The evaluation of the practices will be carried out by means of
(1) the delivery of works that will be done in groups of 4/5 students and where they will have to prove that they are able to solve complex problems effectively in the biochemical / biotechnology field. The maximum mark of this part of the evaluation of the practices is 1.5 points (with respect to the maximum grade of the subject that is 10 points)
(2) the accomplishment of a UNIQUE exam that will be carried out on the same day as the exam of theory of the first call (there will be NO test of practices in the second call since the note of practices will be the one that was obtained in the exam done on the day of the first call). The maximum mark of this part of the evaluation of the practices is 3.5 points (with respect to the maximum grade of the subject that is 10 points)
IMPORTANT NOTES: (1) attendance to ALL the practices of the subject is an indispensable requirement to be able to carry out the practice exam; and (2) there will be a UNIQUE practice exam (which will coincide with the same day that the theory exam of the first call is held) |

The examinations will be face-to-face but, if the health situation recommends it, they will be changed to non-face-to-face mode. In this case, students will have a time set by the teacher to deliver each question. For example, you will have a certain amount of time to answer the first question and upload it to the corresponding moodle task (after this time, you will not be able to post the answer to the question). Then, following the same pattern as for the first question, they will have to answer the second (and so on for the rest of the exam questions). In the evaluation of the second call, the note and the weight of the practice note obtained in the first call will be maintained. During the evaluation tests, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that are not expressly authorized for the test, must be turned off and out of sight. The demonstrable fraudulent realization of some evaluation activity of a subject both in material and virtual and electronic support entails the student's suspense note of this evaluation activity. Regardless of this, given the seriousness of the events, the center may propose the initiation of a disciplinary file, which will be opened by resolution of the rector. |
