Computer practice 3 h
Seminars 9 h
Tutorials in small groups or individualized 1 h
Total hours of classroom work 45 h
TEACHING METHODOLOGY
The master classes will consist of the explanation, by the academic staff, with the help of the blackboard and the audiovisual media that they consider appropriate, of the contents of the subject reflected in the annual teaching guide. The waxing practices/seminars are complementary activities that can be taught by the academic staff or by the students, under the supervision of the former. The laboratory, field and computer practices will serve to illustrate the theoretical contents of the subject and will be fundamentally oriented towards the student acquiring practical skills and experience. All student tasks (study, work, reading) will be guided by the academic staff in the tutoring sessions.
Expository classes:
- Master classes, in which the teacher will explain the concepts of the subject with the support of audiovisual and computer media; it can have different formats (theory, general guidelines of the subject), promoting student participation.
Interactive Classes:
- Seminars in small groups, in which applications of the theory are proposed and resolved. Active student participation is required.
- Practical laboratory classes. The students, following the protocols prepared for this purpose, will handle the appropriate equipment and resolve practical issues.
- Active visits (Visit to Technological Center (APLTA)). Students will be able to learn about the different treatments of milk, dairy products, microbiological, chemical, physical and sensory analyses, as well as other aspects related to the dairy industry
- Computer practices. Practices in the computer room in which students will use relevant programs and databases for the subject.
Tutorials:
- Tutorials to clarify doubts, provide information or guide students, as well as to know the progress in the acquisition of skills.
-Student attention tutorials.
COMPETENCES TO BE ACQUIRED:
- Expository teaching: With them the competences indicated in the Current Report of the Degree are acquired. Theoretical classes will be taught in two hours per week throughout the course. Autonomous and cooperative learning will be combined. 1. Directed learning through expositive theoretical classes and didactic material. 2. cooperative learning in which students will work outside the classroom on the contents of the subject with the didactic material and self-learning material through the e-learning tools of the Moodle platform.
- Interactive teaching of Seminars: With them the competences indicated in the Current Report of the Degree are acquired.
- Interactive teaching of Laboratory Practices + Computer Science Practice + Visit to the Technological Center. With them the competences indicated in the Current Memory of the Title are acquired. It will be carried out in small groups (20 students), using the guides or manuals that have been provided, as well as any bibliography considered appropriate, according to the official calendar.
- Student service tutorials to resolve doubts, as well as to maintain direct communication both among the students themselves and between them and the teacher, may be carried out through the Virtual Campus forum, through MS Teams or by email.
EVALUATION
The degree evaluation system will follow the general regulations of the USC regarding the evaluation of academic performance, attendance at classes in courses adapted to the EHEA and the permanence of students.
The planned evaluation mechanisms include:
1. Continuous evaluation of the expository sessions, seminars and practices (20% of the final grade): the personal and collaborative work of the students will be collected through active participation in the classroom and outside the classroom through the tools of the virtual campus of the USC (participation in Forum with punctuation, delivery of tasks, realization of practical cases, Questionnaires or any other appropriate methodology for this purpose). It is necessary to pass the continuous evaluation with 45% of the total grade in order to add it to the final evaluation.
2. Evaluation of the seminars (10% of the final grade): An exam will be held in the last Seminar. Compulsory attendance
3. Evaluation of the practical sessions (10% of the final grade): it will consist of handing in tasks, carrying out practical cases, Questionnaires or any other appropriate methodology for this purpose.
Attendance at practical sessions (laboratory, field and computer), and scheduled seminars will be mandatory and their evaluation will be continuous, so it is not appropriate to waive attendance at them. Competences evaluated: D1VUSC 03, D1VUSC 15, D1VUSC 03, D1VUSC 15, CTVUSC 01, CTVUSC 02, CTVUSC 03, CTVUSC 04, CTVUSC 05, CTVUSC 06, CTVUSC 07
4-Assessment of theoretical-practical knowledge (supposes 60% of the final grade). It will consist of a final face-to-face test that will evaluate all the theoretical-practical knowledge. The test will be carried out using the Questionnaire tool with a personal computer or in the computer room for those who do not have a computer consisting of a one multiple choice exam of 40 questions with 4 possible answers, and only one correct one in which each wrong answer subtracts 33 % in sequential browsing mode with 5 questions per page, shuffling questions and answers. To pass the subject, students must obtain a score higher than 45% of the maximum possible mark of this exam.
Evaluated competences: CEDVUSC 12. CEDVUSC 14. CEDVUSC 16. D1VUSC 03. D1VUSC 15
FINAL MARK = (Theoretical-practical knowledge assessment mark x 0.6) + (Continuous assessment mark, seminars, practices x 0.4)
In the case of second chance calls, the scores obtained in continuous evaluation, practices and seminars will be saved.
Since attendance at interactive activities (seminars, laboratory practices, field and computer practices) is mandatory, these criteria will be maintained for the extraordinary call.
No scores from one academic course will be saved for subsequent courses.
WAIVER OF ASSISTANCE
waiver of attendance of expository classes, seminars, laboratory practices, computer practices, and active visits will not be admitted, being assistance mandatory, including the work to be done.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of article 16 of the "Regulations for evaluating the academic performance of students and reviewing qualifications regarding plagiarism in evaluation tests" will apply.

1. work in the classroom:
Master classes: 23 hours
Laboratory practices + Field practices: 9 hours
Computer practices: 3 hours
Seminars: 9 hours
Tutorials in small groups or individualized: 1 hour

The student must take into account that their studies are framed within the Hygiene and Food Technology Block, in which as a Veterinarian they will have numerous competences, which will require the acquisition of the competencies indicated in the Grade Report. On the other hand, it should be noted that, as members of the Health Sciences Area, it will be their obligation, shared with other professionals, to ensure the comprehensive health of consumers and the community, so the acquisition of these skills is essential. Therefore, both the knowledge in the lectures, as in practices, continuous assessment, seminars, visits to the Dairy Products Classroom will be part of the evaluation.
-Participate actively, constructively and respectfully in classes and seminars.
-Prepare and complement the contents that are working on the subject with the basic bibliography and complementary recommended.
-Developing habits of autonomous search for scientific information.
-To take advantage of the available resources for the student, from the university library.
-Use tutorials / teacher recommendations and clarify any doubts that arise in the learning process.
The subject is taught in the two official languages of the autonomous community, Spanish and Galician.
Knowledge of English (transversal skills) is required.
The admission of students enrolled in the practical laboratory requires that they know and comply with the general safety regulations in the practical laboratories of the University of Santiago de Compostela. The aforementioned information is available on the USC website http://www.usc.es/export9/sites/webinstitucional/gl/servizos/sprl/desca… -seguroe-nos-laboratorios-de-practicas.pdf).
To carry out tutorials, as well as to maintain direct communication between the students themselves and between them and the teacher, they can be done through the Virtual Campus forum, through Ms. Teams, or by email.
