Description |
| Introductory activities |
Activities designed to make contact with students, collect information from them and introduce the subject. |
| Lecture |
Description of the contents of the subject. |
| Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms |
Practical application of the theory of a knowledge area in a particular context. Practical exercises using ICTs. |
| Personal tuition |
There is available an email list where the student can address queries, by sending an e-mail to biomolecules@estudiants.urv.cat. Their question is distributed among all the members of the discussion list (students and teachers of this subject). Any member of this list is able to answer the question so that the answer also reaches the other members.
Students can also consult their doubts directly to the teacher’s office (106) during the visiting hours (see institutional website).

The evaluation of the practices will be carried out through:
(1) The delivery of the work done in groups of 2/3 students where they must demonstrate that they are able to solve effectively complex problems in the biochemical/ biotechnology field.
The maximum mark of this part of the evaluation is of 1.5 points (regarding the maximum grade of the subject that is 10 points).
(2) The realization of a single test that will be done the same day that the examination of the theory in the 1st call (there will not be an examination of laboratory practicals in the second call since it will be kept the grade of practices obtained in the examination realized the day of the first announcement). The maximum grade of this part of the evaluation of the practices is 3.5 points (regarding the maximum grade of the subject that is 10 points)
IMPORTANT NOTES: (1) the attendance to all the practices of the subject is a prerequisite to be able to perform the exam of practices; (2) The exam of practices will only be done once (which will coincide with the same day of the theory examination of the first exam)

The grades of the laboratory practicals obtained in the 1st call will be maintained in the 2nd call evaluation. During evaluation tests, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that are not expressly authorized for the test must be switched off and out of sight. The demonstration of fraudulent conduct of some evaluative activity of a subject in both material: virtual and electronic support, leads to the student the fail of this evaluation activity. Regardless of this, in view of the seriousness of the facts, the centre may propose the initiation of a disciplinary file, which will be initiated by resolution of the rector. |
