BASIC AND GENERAL
CG5 - Ability to apply experimental laboratory protocols including the preparation of reagents accurately and reproducibly.
CG6 - Ability to work properly in a laboratory applying safety standards and specific regulations for handling biological and/or chemical material.
CB2 - That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study
CB3 - That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include a reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature
TRANSVERSAL
CT1 - Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT6 - Ability to search, analyze and manage information from various sources.
CT7 - Ability to solve problems.
CT16 - Motivation for quality.
SPECIFIC
CES11 - Know the principles and applications of the main experimental methods and instrumentation used in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, with emphasis on isolation techniques and characterization of biological macromolecules.
For the correct acquisition of skills, the following general set of methodologies has been adopted:
1st) Expository teaching.
2nd) Interactive teaching: practices (in the laboratory and/or in the computer room), resolution of problems and/or case studies, visits to companies and facilities, seminars, tutorials in small groups, Virtual Campus.
3rd) Realization of works: Individual or group works (without or with exhibition).
4th) Individual tutorials.
The distribution of face-to-face teaching hours, practices, seminars and group tutorials, as well as individual tutorials, is as follows:
TRAINING ACTIVITY PRESENTIAL HOURS HOURS
TOTALS (%) FACE-TO-FACE
Expository teaching 55 60 33
Practices (lab/classroom info.) 30 40 12
Seminars (includes papers) 30 10 3
Tutorials 35 8.5 3
Competency acquisition evaluation system:
For the correct acquisition of competences by the student, the following general evaluation set has been adopted for the degree, common to all subjects, in which one or more of the following aspects will be included (the minimum and maximum weightings are indicated ):
ASSESSMENT SYSTEM WEIGHTING WEIGHTING
MINIMUM MAXIMUM
Exams 50 75.0
Use of practices 10 30
Realization and/or exhibition of works 0 20
Participation in classroom activities 0 20
The evaluation of this subject consists of a continuous evaluation (25%), which will include carrying out activities and the work developed in the laboratory, and an exam at the end of the semester (75%).
• Continuous evaluation will be carried out through various mechanisms; In the first place, those students who actively participate in the tutorials or in the seminars will be positively evaluated, solving the problems proposed in the bulletins on the blackboard (5%).
The second will be based on the delivery to the students of certain exercises or activities that they must answer and deliver for correction (10%).
Assessed skills: CB2, CB3, CT1, CT6
The work developed in the laboratory will be controlled through continuous evaluation in the laboratory and through the reports prepared by the students that they will deliver to the teacher for correction (10% of the final grade).
To pass the subject, the student must obtain the APTO qualification in the laboratory practices.
Assessed skills: GC5, GC6, CT16
• Finally, there will be an exam (75%) at the end of the semester that will consist of reasoning questions, both theoretical and practical, in which the student's capacity for deduction and reasoning can be evaluated.
Assessed skills: CT1, CT6, CT7, CES11
The final grade will be achieved provided that the exam grade (75%) is at least 3.75. In this case, the positive assessment of the work done through the rest of the activities will increase the exam grade up to the total of your score. Attendance at group tutorials and seminars will be mandatory, and will be taken into account when adding this grade to the final grade for the subject.
- ATTENDANCE TO THE TOTALITY OF THE LABORATORY PRACTICES WILL BE MANDATORY TO PASS THE SUBJECT.
- THE INTERNSHIP NOTE WILL BE STORED FOR A MAXIMUM PERIOD OF TWO ACADEMIC YEARS (the one in which it was completed and one more).
-For the evaluation corresponding to the second opportunity, students must repeat the part corresponding to the continuous evaluation and the memory of practices, when in said parts they have not reached at least half of the total qualification, in addition to taking the exam.
The subject consists of 6 ECTs credits. The total number of student work hours is 150 hours, of which 34% are face-to-face work hours and 66% are personal student work hours.
The detailed distribution of student work time is as follows:
Face-to-face work in the classroom
Master classes in large groups (33 hours).
Interactive classes in small groups (Seminars) (3 hours).
Laboratory practice (12 hours).
Tutorials in very small groups (3 hours).
• Total hours of face-to-face work in the classroom or laboratory (51 hours).
Student personal work.
Autonomous, individual or group study (62 hours).
Problem solving (Seminars) (13 hours).
Preparation of laboratory work and reports to be submitted (12 hours).
Resolution of tasks or other exercises (9 hours).
Preparation of group tutorials (3 hours).
• Total hours of personal work of the student (99 hours).
- Attendance and use of expository classes that must be completed, by the student, with the reading of texts and bibliography related to the topics discussed.
- Carrying out the exercises proposed in the bulletins prior to their explanation in the seminars.
- Realization of the individual or group activities proposed in the different topics to establish and reinforce the explained concepts and their practical application.
Classes will be taught in any of the official languages of Galicia: Galician and/or Spanish.
Attendance to expository and interactive classes is considered necessary to pass the subject.
The material that will be provided to the student intends to facilitate and guide their learning, but it does not replace the consultation and study of the recommended reference texts nor do they constitute in themselves a reference manual for the preparation of the exam.
