BIOTECHNOLOGY - IE

VISITS REPORTS: 15%
The interest and the attention exhibited during the visits together with the ability to summarize
accurately the concepts acquired during the event in a final report will contribute to the grade of
this part. The quality and the presentation of the paper will be appreciated.
ATTITUDE: 10%
The attendance, the active participation in the activities proposed and the interest in the subject
exhibited in class will be evaluated positively in the final punctuation.
Grading notation
A quantitative estimate of the grades for each student will be reported on a 1 to 10 scale with 10
being the maximum attainable.
Notes:
* Students not attending at the 75% of the classes will lose their rights for the evaluation of the
subject, obtaining a 0 score on the first and extraordinary calls for examination.
Only in the justified attendance absences cases, students will do an extra activity related with
the lost part, according to the teacher criteria, from which the student could be able to get the
grade for the lost part.
* Due to the nature of the subject, all visit sessions are mandatory. If the students miss a day
when visits are conducted, they will still have the opportunity to turn in the visit report even if
they were not present at the time of the visit. However, an automatic deduction of 30% will be
taken from each assignment if the student does not attend the visit on the specified day.
*Homework assignments may be submitted late, but the following penalty will be applied:
- 1 day late: 10% deduction, up to 24 hours late
- 2 days late: 20% deduction, from 24 to 48 hours late
- 3 days late: 30% deduction, from 48 to 72 hours late
- more than 3 days late: no work will be accepted after 72 hours late
One day late is defined as a 24-hour period starting at the time the assignment is due (weekday
or weekend).
* Students not passing the subject on the first call for examination shall take an extraordinary
exam covering the entire subject in which the weighting will be the same as described in the
table above. In this case, the passed parts will be kept for the following calls for examination of
the subject, in case it is needed.
