Methodologies

Methodologies ::

	Description
Presentations / expositions	The identification and search for updated knowledge by students will be encouraged and enhanced, directing their access to databases of interest. Due to the legally established characteristics for a course of this type (cited Order), some of the activities legally defined as theoretical-practical will be included in this section, with theory and practice being made compatible in the same session.
Laboratory practicals	The practices will include demonstrations (carried out by the course faculty) and practical exercises (carried out by the students themselves, under the direct supervision of the teachers). Due to the legally established characteristics for a course of this type (cited Order), some of the activities legally defined as theoretical-practical will be included in this section, with theory and practice being made compatible in the same session.
Lecture	Master Session The course will teach master classes, in which the most relevant theoretical aspects are developed, combined with audiovisual presentations (including videos or CD-ROM).

Assessment

	Description	Qualification
Lecture	Master Session Objective multiple choice tests: A final test is carried out that is used to assess the theoretical knowledge acquired. This test assesses master sessions (theoretical content), laboratory practices (theoretical and practical content) and presentations/expositions (theoretical and practical content). Objective test: It represents 40% of the final grade.	Objective test: It represents 40% of the final grade.
Presentations / expositions	Presentations/exhibitions One or more written assignments must be completed, which may have to be presented (all or some of them). The structure, quality, bibliographic sources used, originality, correct use of specific terminology, clarity and correctness in writing, as well as oral expression skills will be assessed. Mixed test: It represents 40% of the final grade (in conjunction with the activity carried out in the so-called laboratory practices).	Mixed test: It represents 40% of the final grade (in conjunction with the activity carried out in the so-called laboratory practices).
Laboratory practicals	Laboratory practices One or more practical activities must be carried out that may have to be defended orally or in writing (in summary). The method of execution, the correct use of specific terminology, the clarity and the ability to communicate what is being done will be assessed. Mixed test: It represents 40% of the final grade (in conjunction with the activity carried out in the so-called laboratory practices).	Mixed test: It represents 40% of the final grade (in conjunction with the activity carried out in the so-called laboratory practices).

Other comments and second call
There are no differences compared to the first call. This is a face-to-face subject that requires attendance and active participation.

Sources of information

Access to Recommended Bibliography in the Catalog ULE

Basic
	Access to the subject's Reading List The very nature of this subject, which has official recognition* as a recognized training course for functions a, b and c (under the provisions of Real decreto 53/2013 and Orden ECC/566/2015 [Royal Decree 53/2013 and Order ECC/566/2015]), implies that basic bibliography cannot be cited as far in advance as the preparation of this teaching guide requires. Obviously there are texts that will be current at the time the course is taught, but it cannot be known at this time. The course works with the latest advances and updates, in some cases not yet published. *The official recognition, valid until the end of the last academic year, refers to the subject Bases of Animal Experimentation, which is the name it had until that academic year, in which the positive evaluation by the ACSUCyL was produced. We understand that the competent body of the Autonomous Community for the accreditation of the courses will maintain the recognition (since the ACSUCyl does not have powers to do so).
