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.
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 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 thematic group of practices (using Campus Virtual), to strengthen learning in the practices 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, their 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.
Class attendance cannot be dispensed
WORK IN THE CLASSROOM
Master classes.............................37 hours
Lab practices...............................37 hours
Tutorials.......................................1 hour
Total hours of face to face work.....75 hours
PERSONAL WORK OF THE STUDENT
Individual study..............................................................55.5 hours
Preparation of practices and preparation of the notebook.......9.5 hours
Bibliographic review, library …............................................7 hours
Exams............................................................................3 hours
Total hours of student work............................ .................75 hours
TOTAL HOURS OF STUDENT.............................................150 hours
Students should attend classes with a positive attitude and active participation.
For further in-depth study of this subject, the student should consult textbooks and histological atlases to help clarify concepts and abstractions taught in class.
