2. Acquire the basic knowledge of Biochemistry and understand the complexity and functioning of biological processes at the molecular level.
3. Know the main chemical and structural properties of biological macromolecules, as well as the relationship between these properties and the various functions they perform.
4. Understand the molecular mechanisms used by living beings in the development of their functions, mainly in the processes of transduction and energy storage, biosynthesis and use of precursors, information routes, as well as the regulation of these from an integrated perspective.
5. Develop the ability to integrate the knowledge provided by this and other related subjects, and the ability to compare and relate concepts, in order to apply them to different clinical problems.
6. Understand the impact of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in today's society and its applications in the field of health.
7. Develop the capacity for autonomous learning.

COMPETENCES RELATED TO THE MATTER
(* ORDER CIN / 2134/2008, + Book branco da ANECA do Titulo de Grao de Enfermaría)
Know and identify the structure and function of the human body *.
Understand the molecular and physiological bases of cells and tissues *.
Relevant knowledge of and ability to apply basic and life sciences +.
Relevant knowledge and ability to apply problem solving and decision making +.
INTERPERSONAL COMPETENCES
Communication skills
Interpersonal skills
Capacity for teamwork
SCENARIO 1: Adapted normality
The expository and interactive teaching will be fundamentally face-to-face. The tutorials may be partially carried out virtually.
EXPOSITION TEACHING
Expositive teaching is conceived in order to enhance the autonomous learning of students. In the theoretical classes, the teacher will explain and explain the most relevant aspects of each topic, helping the students to reach the objectives of the subject.
INTERACTIVE TEACHING
Seminars will be held on topics related to the theoretical content of the subject and clinical cases will be discussed. The teacher will guide and guide the student in the learning process and preparation of the work.
There will be taught 24 hours of lectures and 24 hours of interactive teaching. Class attendance will be mandatory.
The information related to scenarios 2 and 3 appears in the "Observations" section.
SCENARIO 1: Adapted normality
The final tests will be face-to-face.
The information related to scenarios 2 and 3 appears in the "Observations" section.
EXPOSITIVE TEACHING - (60% of the total grade) = 6 points
The exam will be mixed and will consist of:
- multiple-choice multiple-choice questions with a single answer (4 possible answers and only one valid one) in which errors are penalized.
- Short questions through which the student must argue or follow a line of reasoning to justify their response.
INTERACTIVE TEACHING - (40% of the total grade) = 4 points
Content evaluation and presentation of works. Continuous evaluation.
It will be necessary to reach, at least, 50% of the total score in the evaluation of the expository teaching and 50% of the total score in the evaluation of the interactive teaching, to be able to overcome the subject.
Hours of personal work of the student, not in person.
Individual study: 54 hours
Elaboration of works: 24 hours
Library or similar activities: 12 hours
TOTAL: 90 hours
Use of the recommended bibliography for the study of the syllabus and the realization of the seminars.
Personalized elaboration of documents for the study of the themes of the program.
Use of the tutoring schedule to answer questions and receive guidance.
The continued study will facilitate the learning process, favoring a better understanding and assimilation of concepts.
Contingency plan
Adaptations corresponding to scenarios 2 and 3
Scenario 2. Distancing (partial restrictions on physical presence) Teaching implications
- Face-to-face teaching will coexist with virtual teaching based on the recommendations of the center
- When teaching is telematic in nature, it will be carried out synchronously and asynchronously (with preference for synchronous mechanisms)
- The programming of tutorials by telematic means will be prioritized
Teaching methodology
- The “remote” activities will be scheduled throughout the teaching period, combining individual tasks with collaborative work. The monitoring of the proposed activities, sending of materials and communication with the students of the matter will be carried out through the use of the institutional tools of the USC (Email, Virtual Campus and Microsoft Themes)
The activities will be centralized in the Virtual Campus of the USC performing functions of character:
- Technician (Instructions to students)
- Academic (Delivery of materials, clarify concepts, and provide feedback)
- Organizational (Calendar of activities, help and organization of group work and management of discussion forums)
- Counselor (Monitoring of student activity)
- Participation and monitoring of the activities proposed through the Virtual Campus is mandatory
- To guarantee the protection of personal data in "remote" activities, the systems defined at the institutional level will be used (Email, Virtual Campus and Microsoft Themes. Likewise, the materials used must comply with the regulations relating to property). intellectual and data protection
Evaluation system
- Proposed activities: The proposed activities and their weighting in the final grade will be those indicated in the Teaching Methodology section. In the event that the center determines that the expository and / or interactive teaching must be carried out in a non-face-to-face way, the activities will be adapted to the tools available for the telematic monitoring of the teaching
- The final tests will be telematic and complementary to the continuous assessment
- In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the one set out in the "Regulations for the validation of academic performance for two students and for the review of qualifications" will apply.
Scenario 3. Closure of the facilities Teaching implications
- Teaching and monitoring of the subject will be completely virtual in nature through synchronous and asynchronous mechanisms (with preference for synchronous mechanisms)
- The programming of the tutorials will be exclusively by telematic means
Teaching methodology
- The “remote” activities will be scheduled throughout the teaching period, combining individual tasks with collaborative work.

This schedule was prepared according to the indications of the "Continxence Plan for or development of teaching in the 2021-2022 course" approved at the ordinary session of the Government Council held on April 30, 2021
