In accordance with scenarios 1, 2 and 3, defined in the “Guidelines for or development of safe face-to-face teaching”:
-Scenario 1: expository and interactive classroom teaching
-Scenario 2: face-to-face and virtual teaching coexist according to the calendar and schedules established by the center
-Scenario 3: completely virtual teaching
The teaching methodologies will be adapted to the three scenarios as follows:
Scenario 1:
The achievement of a student's basic training is based on theoretical type classes (E, 25 hours) but active participation of students will be encouraged, especially focused on knowledge of various unit operations of the food process industry and equipment operation. Problems related to the syllabus of the subject will be solved.
Interactive hours (24 hours) are compulsory and divided into laboratory practices (15 h) and seminars (9 h) in the computer classroom.
The seminars (9 hours) allow the acquisition of general, transversal and specific competences. Exercises will be made and proposed that the student must solve in the classroom. In addition, students must submit a report of each of the seminars held on the agreed date.
Also, the labs program (15 hours) allows to transpose theoretical knowledge to practical application and development of scientific and technical documents. The work will be done in a group and at the end, a report will be delivered with the results obtained.
Individual tutorials will be held to clarify each student's specific problems and tutorials and compulsory activities/work with small groups (2 hours) to work on specific topics. A paper will be made and will be presented on the food industry in a concrete production process.
Tools will be used to support teaching and problem solving (working with multimedia presentations and spreadsheets).
The Virtual Campus of USC will also be used as support.
All teaching activities will be face-to-face (except for group work), unless the competent authorities establish the obligation to carry out, in whole or in part, the activities remotely (online).
Scenarios 2 and 3:
* Contingency plan for remote teaching activities.
They will be carried out synchronously/asynchronously and always according to the schedule established by the center, through the different telematic means available at USC, preferably the Virtual Campus and Ms Teams. For remote teaching, the student must have a computer (or tablet, etc.) and an internet connection.
Due to the nature and contents of this subject, as well as to the methodology used, the main differences between face-to-face teaching and remote teaching would be:
- Lectures and group tutorials will be carried out by online sessions using Ms Teams.
- Seminars and Laboratory Practices, it is necessary to use Excel, which will be available to students in the version of Office 365 through the domain @ rai.usc.es, and the online resource proposed in the bibliography. In the seminars a synchronous task will be required. If the laboratory sessions cannot be face-to-face, they will be replaced by explanations and assignments of tasks related to the planned experimental procedures.
- Group work requires searching for information, which can be found in the books available in the library in online format and selected information from the internet. Ms Teams will be used for the exhibition of the works.
In addition, a forum will be available on the Virtual Campus that will serve to maintain direct communication both between the students themselves and between them and the teacher. Thus, individual tutorials can be done through the Virtual Campus forum, through Ms Teams or via email.
In accordance with scenarios 1, 2 and 3, defined in the “Guidelines for or development of safe face-to-face teaching”, the assessment system will be exactly the same regardless of the type of teaching used (face-to-face or virtual), with the only difference that the assessment activities will be carried out, as established by the competent authorities, either in person or remotely through the telematic means available at USC.
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for the evaluation of students' academic performance and the review of qualifications” will be applied.
Monitoring of learning by approaching case studies and activities to address, in person or not, individually or in groups. In addition, there will be at least one exam.
The final grade will consider both the exam results (40%) and the compulsory activities in classroom seminars, work/activities and group tutorials (40%); laboratory practice (20%).
In the seminars (exercises/reports) the following competences will be evaluated CB2, CG4, CT3, CEOP7. Both the student's disposition in the interactive hours and the performance of the exercises and reports inside and outside the classroom will be evaluated.
In the labs a brief report of the practices will be presented: objective, methods, results, conclusions and bibliography. Both the laboratory and the report will be evaluated. The following competences will be evaluated: CB2, CG4, CG10, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CEOP7..
As regards the activities/work (group tutorials) the evaluation will be done on competences CB2, CB4, CG4, CG10, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CEOP7. Both the work presented and the presentation and explanation of the work will be evaluated.
In the final exam the specific skills will be assessed (CEOP7).
It is mandatory for the student to attend and obtain a minimum mark of 4 (over 10) in each of the evaluable parts (exam, seminars, work/activities (group tutorials) and laboratory practices). In case of not reaching this minimum the student can obtain a maximum of 4.
In case of failure to pass the subject in the first call (minimum 5), the student will be evaluated in the second call of at least those sections where the minimum score required has not been achieved. The labs will not be repeated for the second call.
Without realizing and/or surpassing the evaluation of the laboratory practices, seminars, work/activities and the final exam the subject can not be approved.
Only students who have not done any presential activities may obtain a final grade of Non Presented.
Assistance to the presential sessions is mandatory: seminars, group tutorials, works/activities and laboratory practices (25 h E, 9 h Seminars, 15 h Lab, 2 h group tutorials, 4 h exam).
The students must take up the subject to understand and carry out further issues and problems that arise in class, as well as the work in group.
It is therefore estimated that the student should use a total of 95 hours of personal work (25 h lectures preparation, 15 h laboratory practices, 37 h seminars and activities/work, 2 h tutorials and 16 h exam preparation) to complete a total of 150 hours dedicated to the subject.
The students will perform on their own all practical exercises, both those already settled in the classroom as those proposed as personal work.
The student must have knowledge of Basic Training, Common to the Industrial, Specific Technology-Industrial Chemistry and Specific Engineering in Industrial Chemical Processes Modules.
It is necessary to manage Excel spreadsheet or similar.
Classes will be taught in Spanish and/or Galician.
The admission of students in the laboratory of practices requires that they know and comply with the General Safety Standards in the laboratories of practices, of the University of Santiago de Compostela. This information is available on the website of the USC:
http://www.usc.es/export9/sites/webinstitucional/gl/servizos/sprl/desca…
The mask must be used during the student's stay in the Center. All instructions from the health authorities and the USC itself must be scrupulously followed, for the protection of the health of the Covid-19. Wear a mask, apply hydrogel or wash your hands with soap and water following the instructions and when possible increase the distance with the rest of the classmates and teacher in the classroom.
