CE4: know how to apply a quality management system, as well as the norms, both voluntary and mandatory, in the food industry
For the correct acquisition of competences by the student, the following general set of methodologies was adopted:
The applied methodology consists basically of THEORETICAL CLASSES (24 hours) master class but with the active participation of the student who will be encouraged to intervene continuously, discussing with them the aspects that are more difficult or especially interesting of each topic.
• In the SEMINARS (12h) problems and specific activities of the subject will be formulated to be solved individually or in groups.
In the seminary classes or in the exhibitions, CLASS ACTIVITIES will be proposed for the students to deepen in the subject.
INDIVIDUAIS TUTORIES will be carried out to clarify particular problems of each student and TUTORIES WITH REDUCED GROUPS (4 h) to work on specific topics, mainly related to the individual or group activities proposed to the students.
• PRACTICAL SESSIONS (12 hours), compulsory attendance:
* Visits will be made to food companies that have quality assurance systems in place.
* Practices will be carried out in the computer room, using computer programs, as tools to support quality control. At the end of the practical sessions, students must submit a practice report.
The VIRTUAL CLASSROOM of the subject will be used to provide the students schemes or presentations used in the lectures or questions and exercises. the virtual classroom can be used to consult specific doubts by the students.
CONTINGENCY PLAN COVID-19
Contingency plan for remote teaching activities depending on the different health scenarios resulting from the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic:
Scenario 1 (Adapted Normality). All teaching activities (exhibition classes, seminars, tutorials and practices) will be carried out in person in the classrooms or laboratories assigned by the Faculty at the schedules published for this purpose.
Scenario 2 (Distance): In case of scenario 2, teaching activities will be carried out as follows:
- Exhibition classes: They would be held, synchronously/asynchronously and always according to the schedule established by the center, through the different telematics means available in the USC, preferably the Virtual Campus and MS Teams.
- Seminars and group tutorials: They will be held in person, in small groups in the classrooms assigned by the Faculty at the times published for this purpose.
- Practices: They will be developed in person, in small groups in the laboratories assigned by the Faculty in the schedules published for this purpose.
For the realization of personalized tutoring and attention to the student, as well as to maintain a direct communication between both the students themselves and the teacher, the contact will be made through the Virtual Campus, through MS Teams or by institutional email.
Scenario 3 (Closing of the facilities): All teaching will be completely virtual, with synchronous or asynchronous mechanisms. All activities will be vehiculized through the USC Virtual Campus, through the MS Teams platform and using institutional email
The evaluation of the learning will be made through the continuous evaluation with exams. The monitoring of the learning will be carried out through the activities to be solved individually or in group by means of the sum of the continuous evaluation (degree of fulfillment of the activities programmed in seminars, tutorials and practices, as well as by the participation in the expository classes) It will compute a maximum of 50% of the total grade and note reached in the exam of the subject, which will be done according to the official calendar, which will suppose a maximum of 50%. So the realization of a final test is complementary to the continuous evaluation. Thus, the evaluation system will consist of the following sections:
WORK (individual and group): up to 2.0 points.
Competences to evaluate: CB7, CB9, CG3, CG5, CT1, CT2, CT5, CT6. CT8. CT10
• PRACTICE MEMORY: up to 1.5 points
Competences to evaluate: CB7, CB9, CG3, CG5, CT1, CT2, CT5, CT6. CT8. CT10
• CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES: up to 1.5 points
Competences to evaluate: CB7, CB9, CG3, CG5, CT1, CT2, CT5, CT6. CT8. CT10
• FINAL EXAM: up to 5.0 points
Competences to be evaluated: CB7, CB9, CG3, CG5, CT1, CT2, CT5, CT6. CT8. CT10
Attendance in the exhibition classes is MANDATORY, unless the student presents a justifiable cause.
Attendance at the pratical sessions is COMPULSORY, so that not attending all practice sessions will mean that it is impossible to pass the subject.
the grade obtained in the part corresponding evaluation of the practices of the previous edition will be kept to the repeating student during an academic course, so they will be exempted (unless they wish) from attend the corresponding practice sessions.
For cases of fraudulent conduct of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Student Academic Performance Assessment and Grade Review Regulation" shall apply.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
contingency plan for remote teaching activities based on different health scenarios resulting from the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic:
The evaluation system will be exactly the same regardless of the teaching modality used (presence or virtual, in scenarios 1 to 3), with the only difference that the evaluation activities will be carried out, as established by the competent authorities, either in person in the classroom or remotely by the telematics means available in the USC, preferably Virtual Campus and MS Teams platform.
For cases of fraudulent conduct of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Student Academic Performance Assessment and Grade Review Regulation" shall apply.
subject consists of 6 ECTS credits. The total number of hours of work of the student is 150 hours, of which 32% are face-to-face and 68% are autonomous student work hours. The detailed distribution of the student's work time is as follows:
• demostrative classes:
24 hours in person + 16 hours non face-to-face = 40 hours total
• Interactive seminar classes:
8 classroom hours + 6 hours non face-to-face = 14 hours total
• Interactive classes of practices:
12 classroom hours + 4 hours of practice memory = 16 hours total
• tutorials in small groups:
4 classroom hours + 3 6 hours non-attendance = 14 hours total
• exam:
2 hrs face-to-face + 38 hrs non-face-to-face = 40h total
• Attend the classroom and bring up to date the studied colletion themes.
• Participate actively, constructively and respectfully in the classes
• Prepare the contents that will be working on the subject with the basic and complementary bibliography recommended
• Properly use the tutorial class to know in detail the recommendations of the teacher and clarify any questions that arise in the learning process
• Regularly consult the virtual classroom of the subject and make use of it
• Attendance at exhibition and interactive classes is considered necessary to overcome the subject matter.
• The material to be provided to the student is intended to facilitate and guide learning, but they do not replace the consultation and study of the recommended reference texts or constitute in themselves a reference manual for the preparation of the exam.
• To approve the subject matter, it is necessary first and foremost to understand it and manage the concepts correctly.
