Description | |
Seminars | Presentation and debate on the importance of serology in diagnosis, control, biocontainment and biosecurity in ruminant herds |
Laboratory practicals | Learning laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases taken as a model. |
Field work/trips | Visits to farms and resolution of cases with field veterinarians. |
PBL (Problem Based Learning) | Practical case sessions in the classroom in which learning will be carried out Problem Based Learning (PBL)/ Problem Based Learning (PBL) Based on practical cases of infectious diseases with special emphasis on their diagnosis, biocontainment, biosafety and prevention. The assumptions and additional information necessary for their resolution will be available on the institutional Moodle educational platform before each session. |
Personal tuition | Tutorials will be carried out individually or in groups, including face-to-face and non-face-to-face sessions. |
Lecture | Exhibition with the help of visual presentations. Students will have the support material available on the institutional Moodle educational platform |

Assessment |
Description | Qualification | ||
PBL (Problem Based Learning) | The evaluation criteria will be the degree of knowledge and understanding. The evaluation will be measured by presentation of practical assumptions. Failure to attend one of the sessions implies the loss of 10% of this grade. |
12 % | |
Field work/trips | The evaluation criteria will be the degree of participation and the presentation of a report. | 5 % | |
Laboratory practicals | The evaluation criteria will be the degree of participation and a questionnaire at the end of the practices. | 8 % | |
Lecture | The evaluation criteria will be the degree of knowledge and lecture understanding. The evaluation will be measured through two written partial eliminatory exams of short answer questions. |
70 % | |
Others | Continuous evaluation of attendance and participation in theoretical classes, seminars and practices. Failure to attend seminars, practical courses or laboratory practices 5 % in two or more sessions implies the loss of the right to take an exam, if the cause is not duly justified. |

Other comments and second call | |||
The theoretical exam of the first partial will cover “Infectious diseases of ruminants”. If the test is passed, the grade will be kept for the entire academic year. The grade required to eliminate the subject is a 5. The relative value of this partial in the final grade of the theoretical exam will be 70%. The theoretical exam of the second partial will cover “Diseases of lagomorphs, rodents and birds”. If the test is passed, the grade will be kept for the entire academic year. The grade required to eliminate a subject is a 5. It will be taken on the date of the final exam. The relative value of this partial in the final grade of the theoretical exam will be 30%. The practical exam grade will only be considered when the student obtains a grade equal to or greater than 5 in the theory and practical assumptions exam. The second call will have the same criteria and system as the first call. Scoring three or more questions with a 0 (out of a total of 10) means that the exam will be failed, regardless of the grade obtained. In accordance with what was approved by the Permanent Commission of the Governing Council of the University of León (January 29, 2015), in the document referring to "Recommended guidelines for action in cases of plagiarism, copying or fraud in exams or tests of evaluation" indicates that: During the written exam of the subject, it will be strictly prohibited to use any electronic device (computer, tablet, mobile phone or digital watch with memory, etc.) that can help the student solve the questions. without relying exclusively on the knowledge acquired during the study. These devices must be kept out of reach of the student during the test. If this indication is not met, the exam will be immediately withdrawn and expelled. Furthermore, if the student were found cheating, the subject would be graded as "failed" in both annual exams. The second call will have the same criteria and system as the first call. |
