The University Library has the EZproxy service that guarantees access to electronic resources to the entire university community.
Likewise, https://busconline.gal is recommended.
In addition, the portal http://sfx.bugalicia.org/san/az allows searching for scientific journals and electronic books (with USC credentials). For specific topics, teachers can provide open access articles or recommend searching through PubMed or Google Scholar.
GENERAL OF THE TITLE
• GVUSC01 Ability to learn and adapt
• GVUSC02 Ability for analysis and synthesis
• GVUSC05 Ability to apply knowledge in practice
• GVUSC06 Ability to work independently and in a team
SPECIFIC DISCIPLINES
• CEDVUSC02 Structure and function of healthy animals.
SPECIFIC PROFESSIONALS (D1VUSC)
• D1VUSC03 Perform basic analytical techniques and interpret clinical, biological and chemical results.
SPECIFIC ACADEMIC (CEAVUSC)
• CEAVUSC08 Be aware of the need to keep up to date the knowledge, skills and attitudes of professional skills through a process of ongoing training.
TRANSVERSALES (CTVUSC)
• CTVUSC02 Ability to obtain adequate information, diverse and updated by various means, such as bibliographic information and the Internet, and analyze it in a critical way.
• CTVUSC03 Ability to prepare and present an organized and comprehensible text.
Scenario 1 (adapted normality).
The attendance will be combined with the application of hygienic measures (hydrogel, mandatory mask when the minimum distance cannot be guaranteed).
• Master classes with ICT support
• Autonomous practical work in small groups and supervised by the teacher
• Independent study of each student
• Tutorials
Students will attend the lectures and will be able to intervene in the debates that arise.
The work in the interactive sessions will be done in small groups of 20 students in laboratory 3D.216 of pavilion III. The teacher will make a brief introduction of the work to be done and then each student, with his/her microscope, will study the representative histological preparations.
During the course of the interactive sessions, the students will create a notebook with their own photos, drawings and schemes that will be evaluated.
The last session will be devoted to a practical examination of the contents seen during all sessions.
There will be posters with basic biosafety and biosecurity measures that will be displayed at the entrance of the laboratory.
IN THE EVENT OF AN INCIDENT CAUSING THE CHANGE OF THE SCENARIO 1 DESCRIBED, SEE THE MODIFICATIONS SPECIFIED IN THE CONTINGENCY PLAN IN THE FINAL COMMENTS SECTION
Scenario 1 (adapted normality).
In order to take the exam, it is necessary regular attendance to theoreticalsessions and attend 100% of the practical sessions
Final exam of the complete subject......................................................................................50%
Continuous assessment during practice development and examination in the last session..........30%
Practical book and participation in theoretical and practical sessions..........................................20%
Evaluation criteria:
The degree of knowledge of the contents taught in the lectures and practices will be evaluated.
Examinations of the expository part may include several modalities of questions: short questions, multiple answer questions, or true / false questions, where the correct answer (s) must be chosen from several alternatives.
The practical part will consist of the identification, either by microscope or on slides, of different organs and histological structures with which the students will have worked in the practical sessions.
Dynamic comprehension questionnaires will be carried out at the end of each practical session (using MS-TEAMS), to reinforce the learning of the practical session that the students have just completed.
The final grade will be the result of the average of the three previous concepts, although, in order to make this average, it is necessary to reach at least 50% in each of the parts.
Repeating students who have passed the interactive part, the grade will be kept
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and revision of grades” will apply.

"Contingency Plan"
Scenario 2 (distancing)
Teaching methodology
• Remote lectures using the virtual campus of the USC, in which the teacher will make the study material available (with / without audio files) to the students and later, with the help of the MS-TEAMS platform, the contents of the different topics. The same systems will attend to all questions and clarifications that may arise.
• Autonomous practical work in small groups (10 students) and supervised by the teacher. The first hour of practice will be face-to-face. Each student will work in the laboratory with a microscope and a series of histological preparations that will be provided for this purpose. The second hour will be done remotely, synchronously or asynchronously through MS-Teams and / or Virtual Campus, with the use of web pages that complement the study of each practice.
Each thematic group of practices will be controlled through the use of rubrics and / or works related to the subject, using the virtual Campus of the USC or MS-TEAMS.
• Independent study of each student.
• Remote tutoring through the use of MS-Teams or the virtual Campus where the teacher will attend to student queries synchronously or asynchronously.
The last session will be devoted to taking a practical exam of the content covered during all sessions, remotely with MS-Teams and / or Virtual Campus.
Evaluation system
Final exam of the complete subject......................................................................................50%
Continuous assessment during practice development and examination in the last session..........30%
Practical book and participation in theoretical and practical sessions..........................................20%
Evaluation criteria:
- The degree of knowledge of the contents taught in the expository and practical classes will be evaluated.
- The exams of the expository part can be done in person or remotely (Virtual Campus) and can include various modalities of questions: short questions, multiple choice questions or true / false questions, where the correct answer/s must be chosen among several alternatives, or questions referring to diagrams or figures.
- The practical part will consist of the identification, either through the microscope or on slides, of different organs and histological structures that have been worked on in the practical sessions. If a virtual practical exam were carried out, it would be carried out on the Moodle platform (Virtual Campus) with a series of images where a series of details are indicated. It would be necessary to answer the questions that arise in each image.
- The final grade will be the result of the average of the two previous aspects, although in order to carry out this average it is necessary to reach at least 50% in each of the parts.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and revision of grades” will apply.
Scenario 3 (closure of facilities)
Teaching methodology
• Remote lectures using the virtual campus of the USC in which the teacher will make the study material available (with / without audio files) to the students and later, with the help of the MS-TEAMS platform, the contents of the different topics. The same systems will attend to all questions and clarifications that may arise.
• Remote practical work through the use of the virtual campus to add the contents to study and with MS-TEAMS the corresponding explanations will be made with the use of own material (virtual microscope), web pages, tutorial videos, etc.
Each thematic group of practices will be controlled through the use of rubrics and / or works related to the subject, using the virtual Campus of the USC or MS-TEAMS
• Independent study of each student.
