The requirements to access the Medicine Degree.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The subject "Human Anatomy I" belongs to Module I (Morphology, Structure and Function of the Human Body) and Subject 1.2 (Development, Structure and Function of the Healthy Human Body at the Tissue, Organic and Systems Level) of the Medicine Teaching Plan. It is a basic subject, with 6 ECTS and is taught during the first semester of the first year. Human Anatomy I is a comprehensive subject as it addresses the macroscopic aspects of Human Anatomy. Specifically, the contents refer to the musculoskeletal system of both the trunk and limbs, including bone, joint, muscle, vascular and nervous elements. Aspects of biomechanics, sectional anatomy, surface anatomy, medical imaging as well as correlates of clinical anatomy are included. The subject is structured to promote both its horizontal integration with other subjects within the aforementioned module and its vertical integration with other subjects, both basic and clinical. It is necessary to have passed this course in order to pass Integrated Morphology, Structure and Function of the Human Body (second year).

According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:Evaluation criteria for the ordinary call:
A student enrolled for the first time in a subject is entitled to two calls during the academic year:
1. Ordinary call: it comprises the continuous evaluation of all theoretical and practical activities reflected in the timetable attending to the conditions described in the teaching guide of the subject and the minimum attendance requirements to pass the subject.
2. Extraordinary call: It includes the evaluation exclusively of the failed part of the subject in the ordinary call. It consists of a theoretical exam and/or a practical exam. The rest of the marks of the practical part will be those obtained during the course in reports, seminars, presentations, assignments, participation and attitude or OSCE.
In case of failing the course the first time it is taken, for the following academic year there will be two of this three options:
1. Ordinary call: within this call, two modalities can be chosen:
a. Attendance mode: It includes the continuous evaluation of all theoretical and practical activities reflected in the timetable, complying with the conditions described in the teaching guide of the subject, as if the subject was taken for the first time. Thus, the grades obtained in the previous year will not be taken into account.
b. Non-attendance mode: It includes the evaluation of only the failed part of the subject in the previous course through a theoretical exam and/or a practical exam per semester on the same date as the final exam of each semester. The marks for practical exams other than the practical exam will be kept from the previous course. This modality can only be chosen in the case of having taken the subject in the ordinary call in the previous academic year.
2. Extraordinary call: It includes the evaluation of only the failed part of the subject in the ordinary call either of the current academic year, if the student has chosen the ordinary on-site call, or of the previous academic year, in the rest of the cases. It will consist of a theoretical and/or a practical exam. The rest of the marks of the practical part will be those of the current or previous course. In the case of not having taken the ordinary on-site exam in the current or previous academic year, the grades of previous exams will not be taken into account, since only one course will be kept.
3. Special final exam: This includes the evaluation of only the failed part of the subject in the previous academic year. This call can only be requested in key subjects. It will consist of a theoretical exam and/or a practical exam. The rest of the marks of the practical part will be those of the previous course. In the case of not having taken the ordinary on-site exam in the current or previous course, the grades of previous exams will not be taken into account since only one course will be kept.
These conditions will only be maintained in the academic year consecutive to the ordinary on-site call of a subject. The grade of the practical or theoretical part passed will only be kept if the minimum attendance requirements to pass the subject described in the electronic guide have been met.
If the subject is not passed in the second academic year, the same biannual cycle criteria described for the first and second year of enrollment will be followed in the third and successive odd numbered years of enrollment.
ORDINARY CALL:
Theoretical evaluation:
75% distributed in:
- 55% module exams
- 20% final semester exams
To pass the course it will be necessary to obtain 40% of this 75%, which means, at least, 3.0 points in the theoretical part of the 10 total points of the course and to fulfill the requirements of the section "Evaluation criteria".
For the module exams (55% of the grade, i.e. 5.5 points) no minimum grade is established, so all grades obtained will be added together.
For the final exams (20% of the grade, i.e. 2 points) a minimum grade equal to 40% of the maximum grade to be achieved in each final exam is established. In order to favor the weight of the continuous evaluation in the final grade, not reaching the minimum grade established will not mean the impossibility to pass the course, but the points of that final exam will not be added to the rest of the points obtained.
Evaluation of practices, presentations, problems, assignments, participation and attitude:
25% valued jointly as follows for basic subjects:
- Practical exams: 20%.
- Participation and attitude: 5%.
To pass the course it will be necessary to obtain 40% of the 30%, which represents at least 1.2 points in the practical part of the 10 total points of the course and to fulfill the requirements of the section "Evaluation Criteria" that appears in the electronic guide.
EXTRAORDINARY CALL, SPECIAL FINAL CALL, ORDINARY NON-ATTENDANCE CALL:
Theoretical evaluation: exam with a weight of 75%. To pass the course it will be necessary to obtain 40% of this 75%, which means at least 3.0 points in the theoretical part of the 10 total points of the course and meet the requirements of the section "Evaluation criteria". In case of having passed the theoretical part of the course in the current or previous year, the grade obtained in the last exam will be maintained.
Practical evaluation: to pass the course it will be necessary to obtain 40% of the 25%, which means at least 1.0 points in the practical part of the 10 total points of the course and to fulfill the requirements of the section "Evaluation criteria". In case of having passed the practical part in the current or previous course, the grade obtained in the last exam will be maintained. -
