After each part of the subject (Areas of Biochemistry, Cellular Biology or Genetics) a partial test will be carried out (they can be combined in a single session). In the event that the partial is considered approved, that part could be released and it will not be necessary to take it in the official call (if all three parts have been released, the weighted grade will be considered and it will not be necessary to take the Call test) .

The option to appear at the official calls with the entire subject will be given in order to improve the grade. In this case, the person responsible for the course must be notified at least 5 working days in advance. In any case, the tests corresponding to the three Areas must be carried out, and the grade obtained in the call will be applied, discarding the grade obtained in the partial exams, even if it is higher.

Partial tests may consist of a single theoretical part or theoretical and practical tests, separate or combined. In the second case, each part will be evaluated separately, and the partial will be considered passed if all are approved. In case of not passing any of the tests, it will be considered to appear at the official calls only with the parts not passed (theory or practice).

The weighting of the partial qualification, or of the three parts in the official calls, will be:

40% Biochemistry, 40% Cellular, 20% Genetics.

Both for partial and official calls, it will be essential to achieve a 5 in each part of the subject to consider it passed. This includes both the partial tests and official calls, individually, as well as the global qualification of each Area (combining practical and theoretical parts and other evaluation activities). A part will not be considered passed if the corresponding test (practical or theoretical) is not passed, regardless of whether the weighted grade for that part is 5 or higher.

Likewise, it will be necessary to pass all three parts in order to consider the subject approved. However, the compensation of a part of the subject with a grade greater than or equal to 4 will be considered, provided that the other two are approved (5 or greater) and the weighted grade is 5 or greater.

In the event that some parts are approved (grade of 5 or higher) but the subject is not approved (grade of other parts less than 5), the option will be given to consider that part as compensated for the following course (it would be considered as 5 , being able to consider applying the qualification obtained in case of good performance). That is, it will not be necessary to carry out the practical activities or take the assessment tests for that part. If you want to improve the grade of the part passed the previous year, the aforementioned will be applied to improve the grade of the subject in the official calls.

All assessment tests will be governed by the "Learning Evaluation and Qualification Regulations of the University of León" (Approved by the Governing Council of the ULE on 03-12-2010) and by the document "Guidelines for action in the assumptions of plagiarism, copying or fraud in exams or evaluation tests” (Approved by the Permanent Commission of the Governing Council of the ULE, on 01/29/2015). According to said regulations, notes or textbooks cannot be used to carry out the exams, as well as the use of digital systems, from computers to mobile phones or other electronic devices. In short, the student will not be allowed to have, during the exam, any type of source of information that is not inherent to their own intellectual capacity.

Also according to the aforementioned regulations, plagiarism in the different works of the subject is prohibited. If these rules are contravened, the student will be subject to the punitive actions described in the regulations, in accordance with the action guidelines published by the ULE.

SECOND CALL

It will only be mandatory to present the blocks not passed in the first call. If you want to improve the grade in any of the parts, you must examine the contents of the entire subject (the three blocks). The second grade will apply, even if it is lower.
