Teaching is fulfilled to very practical levels (uses of natural and artificial patterns, Power Point, videos, visits to farms and cattle shows, animal protection societys, etc.).
Theoretical or magisterial classes are reduced to 17, using 14 hours per student for practical classes. Seminars will be also fulfilled in order to instil the scientific spirit, to develop in students the technique of critical thinking and original thinking, apart from improving the oral expression abilities and encouraging the group dynamic.
- Regular attendance at theoretical sessions and compulsory scheduled practical activities / To be able to do the final exam it is necessary to attend 100% of practical sessions.
Evaluation of two theoretical approaches (60% gives final grade)
At the end of the course, an exam mandatory and complementary of continuous evaluation, will be carried out with two differentiated parts: multiple-choice questions (errors have a negative score) and short questions, as well as having a first evaluation of the student, since we have a permanent relationship with the teacher, which allows know or level basic knowledge. Plus the students may know how to do the international system to describing horses. Students who do not pass this exam, or do not show up, can choose to examine everything or topics in the second call for xunio / xullo. An important part of the theoretical exam will include the practices of the subject.
Evaluation of the seminar (40% gives final grade)
This section will be valued, on the one hand, or work carried out by the student pole, and in a second place, at his presentation to the class by his companions.
It is compulsory to attend or 100% of practicals. If a student misses any, they must provide or justify and recover it as soon as possible. If not or not, it will be considered that the student did not carry out the practices and as a consequence could not pass the subject.
In accordance with the biosafety regulations that can be consulted in the Virtual Classroom, it is mandatory or the use of a mask, a lab coat, flip-flops and rubber boots to access the practice room. It is optional but can be sealed or it comes with safety glasses. At the entrance to the hall, there are the basic biosafety rules that the student must observe in the room; Any doubted in this regard will be resolved by a teaching staff. Additionally, hygienic measures will be maintained or implemented according to the sanitary recommendations of the moment (hydroxel, mask obrigatorieda when no sign possible to guarantee a minimum safety distance, etc ...).
No case of plagiarism, fraud or improper use of technologies during the realization of telematic tests, will be applied or applied to the "Norm of evaluation of academic performance two students and of revision of qualifications".
Not in the event that the health situation is affected or required, the modifications of the assessment system must be observed, not covered by the “Contingency Plan”, collected not apart from “observations”.
Presencial work at the classroom (37h): Magisterial clases (17h). Laboratory practices (3h). Field practices (3h). Active practices (8h). Computer practices (3h). Practices of waxing / seminars(5h). Tutorships in groups limited or individualized (1h).
Personal work of the student (38h). Individual study (27). Production of works (4). Bibliographical review, library, etc (3). Oral presentations (3). Accomplishment of examinations (2).
Following the minimum demanded by the teacher + freedom to do a work related to the subject.
