2. Pre-Requisites
No special requirement
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The basic objective is for the student to study the mechanisms that govern the different organic functions of animals, as well as their various forms of regulation and control. This will provide the fundamental knowledge so that the student can understand the contents of other subjects later.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Assessment of active participation | 15.00% | 0.00% | It will be valued through clickers and games and other activities proposals in virtual campus. The valuation obtained in this item will be saved for the next 2 courses. |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 15.00% | 30.00% | A report will be made of all the practices given in the subject for those students who have attended such activities. Those students who do not attend themselves and therefore considered non-continuous evaluation, will be examined in the final test of all the contents of the practices. The assessment obtained in the practices is will save for the next 2 courses. |
| Test | 70.00% | 70.00% | Continuous evaluation: 2 tests will be carried out. The first of topics 1 to 5 which can be released for the ordinary call provided that the student obtains a note of 4 or higher. For those students who have Ooce the matter has been released, the day of the ordinary call will perform a second test of the contents of topic 6 at 8. With the grade obtained in the 2 tests and always having obtained a minimum of a 4 between the 2, they will be average with the rest of the evaluable activities. The student who has not Released material in the first test will be evaluated in the ordinary call for a single test, taking average with the rest of assessable activities if she has obtained a grade minimum of 4. Non-continuous evaluation: the student in non-continuous evaluation a single test will be examined in the ordinary call making average with the rest of evaluable activities if it has obtained a minimum grade of 4. |
| 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:Students who have released subject with obtaining a 4 in the first test of topics 1 to 5 will only have to examine the Topics 6 to 8 in the test that will be held in the ordinary call. If the mean between the two tests is at least 4, they will be measured with the rest of assessable activities (assessment with use in class, preparation of practical reports and assessment tests). Students who have not released the subject in the first test will have to examine all the theoretical contents in the call ordinary making average with the rest of the activities from obtaining a 4.
To pass the course, it will be necessary to obtain 5 points through the sum of all the evaluation systems (assessment with in class, preparation of practical reports and evaluation tests). -
Non-continuous evaluation:It will be considered that a student follows the non-continuous evaluation when he has presented less than 50% of the evaluable activities. In this case, to pass the course it will be necessary to take a single theoretical and practical test in the ordinary call. Obtaining a minimum of 4 in each part (theory and practice) will allow to average both parts To pass the course, it will be necessary to obtain 5 points through the sum of all the evaluation systems (preparation of reports of practical and assessment tests).
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Students who do not pass the subject in the ordinary call, will be able to examine all the theoretical contents of the subject in the extraordinary call. The evaluation obtained in the items elaboration of practical reports and participation with use in class will be saved for this call and during the 2 academic years. To pass the course, it will be necessary to obtain 5 points through the sum of all the evaluation systems (evaluation of participation with achievement in class, evaluation of practical reports and evaluation test) in continuous evaluation and for non-continuous evaluation (elaboration of practical reports and assessment tests).
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Only students who meet the requirements set out in the current Student Assessment Regulations of the
University of Castilla-La Mancha, which will be evaluated according to the criteria applied in the extraordinary call.
University of Castilla-La Mancha, which will be evaluated according to the criteria applied in the extraordinary call.
