General proficiencies
CB1 Students should have exhibited knowledge and comprehension in an area of study that starts at the basis of general secondary education, which is generally at a level that, while it is supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge also includes some aspects that involve knowledge taken from the forefront of their field of study.
CB2 - Students should be able to apply their knowledge to their work or profession in a professional way and have the skills that are usually demonstrated by developing and arguing and solving problems within their area of study
Specific proficiencies
CG2 - To be able to express, discuss and provide adequate arguments about the aspects of the degree, being able to propose new questions, integrate them into the appropriate context and generate an advance in scientific and professional knowledge.
CG3 - To have experimental and analytical skills to work with autonomy in a laboratory being able to set up experiments and to describe, analyse, assess and interpret and understand the obtained information in order to propose alternative and novel solutions to known and/or emerging problems.
CE1 - To control the molecular, cellular, physiological, genetic and inheritance basis that determine the organization, functioning and integration of living organisms and their interaction with the natural environment
CE29 - To be able to link, to combine and to use as a whole concept, methodologies and techniques from Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics in the study and resolution of problems.
Learning outcomes
RA5. To integrate the molecular, cellular and physiological background at the cellular level for the functionality and the integration of pluricellular organisms
RA6. To understand the main processes of animal and human physiology, integrating the functioning of tissues and organs and the signaling systems at the organism level
RA7. To understand the main processes of plant physiology, integrating the functioning of tissues and organs and signaling systems at the organism level
RA8. To understand the main processes of plant physiology, by integrating the functionality of tissues and organs with the signal systems at the organism level
Methodology
| Methodology - Activity | Attendance | Self-study |
| A-1 Exposition/ Participative classes | 26 | |
| A-2 Practical classes | 30 | |
| A-4 Group work/projects | 25 | |
| A-5 Individual practice and study time | 63 | |

Relationship between formative activities and proficiencies/learning outcomes
| Proficiencies | Formative activities |
| CG2, CB1, CB2, CE1, CE29 | A-1 Exposition/ Participative classes |
| CG2, CG3, CB1, CB2, CE1, CE29 | A-2 Practical classes |
| CG2, CG3, CB2 | A-4 Group work/projects |
| CG2, CB1, CB2, CE1 | A-5 Individual practice and study time |
| CG2, CB1, CB2, CE1 | A-7 Exams and evaluation activities |

Evaluation
| Learning outcome |
Assessment activity |
Weight (%) | It allows test resit |
Minimum required grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RA5, RA6, RA7, RA8 | Individual written test | 50* | YES | 5 |
| RA5, RA6, RA7, RA8 | Oral presentations. Group Project | 30 | NO | 0 |
| RA5, RA6, RA7, RA8 | Tests and individual reports of experimental work | 20 | NO | 0 |
If the student did not get the minimum grade to weigh in any of the activities, the grade of the subject would be 4.9 out of 10 at most (fail).
| * The exams include the concepts acquired and a minimum passing score of 5 over 10 is required in both animal physiology and plant physiology and organography. Students with scores lower than 5 over 10 need to take a recovery exam | |||
| Multiple written tests will be taken throughout the semester to allow an ongoing assessment of student progress. In case of switching to a virtual teaching mode, these tests will be performed with the "Exams" tool in Miaulario. Individual and group assignments throughout the semester can be submitted online |
