BASIC AND GENERAL COMPETENCES
CG1 - Ability to plan, organize, direct and control the production systems and processes developed in the agricultural sector and the agri-food industry, within a framework that guarantees the competitiveness of companies without forgetting the protection and conservation of the environment and the improvement and sustainable development from rural areas.
CG7 - Knowledge of basic, scientific and technological subjects that allow continuous learning, as well as an ability to adapt to new situations or changing fields.
CB7 - That students know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their problem-solving capacity in new or little-known areas within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
These skills are acquired in conjunction with other subjects.

In duly justified cases, the seminars and practices can be replaced by individual tutored works and activities to be carried out during the teaching period of the subject. For this students must request it during the first three weeks of that period to the teachers in charge and have their acceptance. Students who choose to do assignments must sit the final theory exam to pass the course. The grade for attendance will not be computed, and together the theory and the works will score up to a total of 10.
EXTRAORDINARY CALL FOR JULY AND FOR REPEATING STUDENTS.
These criteria will be maintained for the extraordinary call for July and for repeating students.
FRAUDULENT PERFORMANCE OF EXERCISES OR TEST.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and review of grades will apply.
They will be the same for all three scenarios.
PRESENTIAL WORK (hours)
Expository teaching: 24
Interactive teaching and visits to companies: 24

In this matter, it is recommended to attend all teaching activities, since they collect a large amount of dispersed and continually evolving information, for which there is no updated bibliography. For this reason, in addition to consulting the recommended bibliography, we recommend consulting the information left in the virtual classroom.
It is also recommended to make frequent use of tutorials for any type of matter related to the subject.
