3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

The study of the physiology of the human body is a subject whose subject is basic and essential in the training of health professionals. This course will allow the student to understand the functions and regulatory mechanisms of the healthy human body, its physiological variations and the changes that occur during the life cycle, which will lay the foundation for understanding and recognizing in higher courses, the biological alterations produced in the disease and to know the mechanisms on which it is possible to be influenced for the recovery of the normality or health. Human physiology is related within the Basic Education of the Degree, with the subjects of human anatomy, human anatomy of the lower limb, biochemistry, pharmacology and psychology. Within Podiatry Sciences, it is related to the subject of foundations of podiatry, biophysics and biomechanics, orthopedics, chiropodology, general pathology, podiatric pathology, dermatology, preventive podiatry and foot care at risk, podiatric surgery, diagnostic imaging and radiation protection, clinical podiatry, sports podiatry, biomechanics applied to sports, ergonomics and sports shoes, pathomechanics and treatment of sports injuries, analysis techniques in sports podiatry and practicum. It contributes with these subjects and subjects of the Degree to achieve the professional skills necessary for quality care, satisfying real and potential health needs.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Projects 15.00% 15.00% The group assay will be handed and presented in class
Final test 70.00% 70.00% Test type questionnaire. The formula to establish the score is: [(Nº correct answers-(Nº wrong answers/2))/Nº total questions]×10
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies 15.00% 15.00% Present a portfolio with the problems and activities proposed in the seminars and laboratory practices. Attendance is compulsory for all scheduled practical activities.
Total: 100.00% 100.00%  
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:
    The current rating system will be applied; currently, presently UCLM student evaluation regulations, approved on May 28, 2014.
    The global punctuation will be made by making a weighted average of all the evaluable activities. However, the students must achieve a score of 40% in the final test, to add up all the califications. Attendance at seminars and practices is mandatory.
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    Students who opt for this evaluation system will take a final test, a practical exam and an oral presentation of the assay where it will be evaluated that the student has reached all the competences of the subject.
    The calculation of the global punctuation will be calculated by a weighted average of the evaluable activities, however, the students must achieve a score of 40% in each of them.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The same criteria will be followed as in the ordinary convocatory, both continuous and non-continuous evaluation.
The assessment of the assay and of the practices, which have been passed by the student who chooses continuous evaluation, will be kept, up to a maximum of two academic courses from the current course, considering that the practical activities are not modified.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The same criteria will be applied as in the ordinary convocatory, both continuous and non-continuous evaluation.
