Eligibility for exams

Attendance is obtained by carrying out the work in accordance with the plan approved at the beginning of the semester and complying with the contact hours provided for in the UC

At the end of the semester, students will deliver a written report.

Deadline for submitting the report: January 12, 2025.

Calculation formula of final grade

The guidelines for the evaluation are the following:

Has the student been able to integrate knowledge from different disciplines?

Has the student been able to formulate an important scientific or technological question?

How autonomous was the student in preparing and implementing the work programme?

Does the report reflect accurately what the student has done?

Has the student participated regularly in the activities of the lab?

How many hours has the student spent to carry out the work, including the writing of the report?

Internship work/project

The report should be approximately 10 pages. The report should include the following sections:

Abstract
Introduction
Materials and Methos
Results
Discussion
Conclusions

The report should be focused mainly on the results and their discussion.

It is recommended that it should be written in English.

It must be delivered via moodle in pdf format until the 12th of January 2025.

Observations

Students must send their proposals via Moodle between August 26th and September 16th, indicating:

Theme; Summary of the work plan; Direct advisor (with link to his/her ORCID) and e-mail; Laboratory / Group / company where the project will be carried out (with link to the web page of the project)

The teachers in charge of the UC will decide on the acceptance of the proposal of the students during the first week of the semester.

In case students can not send the above elements  within the indicated deadline should contact the teachers immediately.

In all emails to send to teachers, please place the following in the subject space: "MBio-Projecto de Investigação Integrado 2024/2025"
