Methodology and grading

Methodology

Case studies: Learning through the analysis of actual or simulated cases in order to interpret and resolve them by employing various alternative solution procedures.
Lecture: Pass on knowledge and activate cognitive processes in students, encouraging their participation.
Problem-based learning: Develop active learning strategies through problem solving that promote thinking, experimentation, and decision making in the student.
Solving exercises and problems: Exercise, test, and apply previous knowledge through routine repetition.

Grading

The overcoming of the Biomaterials subject requires, on the part of the students, to have demonstrated a sufficient dominion of the contents of the same one. The contents of the subject will be evaluated in a single exam, from which the student will be examined in the period and dates for the subject Biomaterials within the Regular Summons of February and Extraordinary September and December, according to the Academic Calendar of the UMH. The examination will not allow the presence of cases, coats, bags, etc. or the use or possession of mobile phones or any other communication or storage device (telephones, calculators, watches, tablets or similar). Only a calculator can be used, if the teacher deems it appropriate, and whenever it is not programmable. The presence of mobile phones or other communication or storage devices shall be considered sufficient evidence of intent to commit fraud. The evaluation will be elaborated as follows:

1.- Theoretical exam + problem (85%) + Practical exam (20%) = 100%

2.- Theoretical exam + problem (85%) + Practical guides (12%) + attendance to practices (3%) = 100%
3.- Theoretical exam + problem (85%) + Practical exam (12%) + attendance to practices (3%) + teamwork (20%) = 120%.

It is necessary to take out in the theoretical exam (which will be of the test type) + problem 50% of the mark to be able to add both the practical part, and the teamwork [that is to say 4.25 on 8.5 or 5 on 10].
Who does not do the practical part of the exam takes into account the grade obtained with the laboratory. Who does both, takes into account the note of the practical part of the laboratory, and the note of the scripts is not counted. Honor Cards will be awarded in strict order of final grade (from 100 to 120)

To pass the subject, you must obtain a FINAL NOTE equal to or greater than "5 that is 50%". In the September and December exams, a single exam will be held with the same structure and characteristics of the Final Exam in February

Correction criteria

Duration of the exam 1 hour 30 minutes.

Test type test with 4 answers, so that every 3 incorrect questions is subtracted a good one. More a problem
