Evaluation
Method(s) of evaluation
- Other
Other
Theory : written exams in January, June, and August (multiple-choice questions and open-ended questions).
Practical exercises and exercises : observation reports for each histology session throughout the year, online genetics tests (Procaryote and Eucaryote) on the Virtual University, and a written and practical exam around mid-May.
Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)
Final grade : 80% theory + 20% practical work.
Each part must be validated individually with a grade of 10/20 or higher.
The course unit is credited when both the theory and practical work are validated individually. If one of the two activities is failed, it must be repeated.
