  Description
Clinical practicums Coordinated with the activity of the Veterinary Hospital and the Experimental Farm of the University of León.
Seminars Through this participatory method. Various contents of the program will be taught, with the aim of complementing and/or deepening different aspects of the theoretical program of the subject. Additionally, in groups of a maximum of 4 (or individually), students will develop and present a clinical case of Reproductive Pathology before a professor and the rest of the students in that seminar.
Personal tuition Personalized and in-person upon request. Online media will also be used for non-face-to-face tutoring.
Field work/trips The students will accompany a collaborating veterinarian in their daily professional activity, making visits to livestock farms of different animal species.
Laboratory practicals Through this methodology, practices will be addressed in which students will develop skills in different aspects of the subject content. Control of attendance and achievement that will be incorporated into the continuous evaluation of students.
Lecture Exposition of the topics included in the programming, in a descriptive manner and with the help of audiovisual media.

Other comments and second call
The evaluation of the subject presents two independent components: written exams and a complement of continuous evaluation.

ORDINARY CALL

Written exams (they constitute up to 75% of the final grade).

Contents of the written exams: those developed in each and every one of the activities of the subject.

Type of exam: short question (may include diagrams, graphic representations, problems and practical assumptions).

Two ordinary exams (approximately half of the syllabus: to be determined) independent and not compensable with each other. You must achieve 60% of the grade in each of them to pass.

For those students who do not pass the first exam on the date, but reach a minimum of 30% of the grade, there is the possibility of recovery on the date of the second exam (repetition of the first exam).

Continuous evaluation complement (constitutes up to 25% of the final grade).

It is based on the assessment of attendance, active participation, predisposition and mastery of clinical activities, laboratory techniques and assumptions, during the completion of theoretical sessions, practices, seminars and other activities through attendance controls. , questionnaires and small oral or written tests.

It is required to achieve 40% of this complement to pass the subject. It only adds to the final grade after 70% of the grade for this complement and with both theoretical exams passed.
EXTRAORDINARY CALL

For students who have passed the continuous assessment supplement (equal to or greater than 40% of the grade for this supplement), an exam with two independent and non-compensable parts, it being necessary to exceed 60% in both parts to pass. In this case, the continuous evaluation supplement will be considered, which will only add 70% or more of the grade for said supplement to the final grade.

For students who have not passed the continuous assessment complement (less than 40% of the grade for this complement), exam with two independent parts that cannot be compensated for each other, it being necessary to exceed 70% in both parts to pass.

STANDARDS FOR EVALUATION TESTS

The written evaluation tests will be carried out with the answers, by each student individually, based exclusively on the knowledge acquired through the study. During these tests, the use of printed materials and electronic resources (calculators, tablets, telephones, computers, watches, etc.) or of any other nature is not permitted, except for those tests that, under the express direction of the teacher, require the use of any of them. these resources. That is why they must be out of the student's reach during the evaluation. If any irregularity occurs with respect to the established standards during the holding of an evaluation test, the exam will be withdrawn with the consequent expulsion of the student and qualification as a fail in the aforementioned call and in the following one. In any case, the provisions of the internal regulations of the ULE included in the document "Guidelines for action in cases of plagiarism, copying or fraud in exams or evaluation tests" will be followed (Approved Permanent Commission of the Government Council 01/29 /2015).
