| Seminars |
|
The seminars will consist of talks about topics of interest to the student and that will be attempted by experts in the field. On the other hand, in the classroom activities will be carried out that the student will have to solve and they will be evaluated. | 15% | ||||
| Laboratory practicals |
|
In order to pass the subject, the student must complete the practicals of the subject. On the other hand, the practices will be evaluated through a previous written test and a subsequent one. | 15% | ||||
| Extended-answer tests |
|
The examination of molecular molecular biotechnology has a weight of 30% and that of molecular animal biotechnology of 40%. To be able to make the average, it is necessary to have a minimum grade of 5 in each of these parts of the subject. | 70% | ||||
| Others |
| Other comments and second exam session | |||
|
In case the student needs to apply for second call, he / she must only do so for the part of the subject for which he / she has not obtained a minimum grade of 5. |
