Basic skills.
CG6 - To be able to participate in the design and development of healthier foods.

CB8 - That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on incomplete or limited information, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
Specific skills:
COP18 - To know and know how to apply the fundamental aspects of functional and special nutrition and ergogenic aids.
Transversal skills:
CT3 - Ability to work in a team.

Lectures.
In them the teacher will develop the content of the theoretical program reflected in this guide, using the didactic and audiovisual resources that he or she considers appropriate, and favoring the participation of the students.
Practical classes.
Practical classes in the laboratory on molecular biology techniques and their application in nutrigenetic, nutrigenomic and metagenomic studies. Preparation of a practical report.
Group or individual seminars.
Solving problems related to theoretical contents and oral presentation.
The USC Virtual Campus (Moodle), or the Microsoft Teams tool, as appropriate, can be used as a fundamental support resource for teaching.
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR REMOTE TEACHING ACTIVITIES.
The activities would be carried out, in a synchronous/asynchronous way and always according to the timetable established by the centre, through the different telematic means available at the USC, preferably the Virtual Campus and Microsoft Teams.
Due to the nature and contents of this subject, as well as the methodology employed, the main differences between face-to-face (classroom-based) and remote teaching are:
- Scenario 1 or adapted normality: lectures and interactive teaching (including practical sessions) will be classroom-based.
- Scenario 2 or distance teaching: on-site teaching will coexist with virtual teaching, giving preference to the latter for all activities except for practical sessions and tutorials that will be developed according to the official calendar, in any case guaranteeing a minimum of 50% physical attendance for the practical hours.
- Scenario 3: teaching will be completely virtual, with synchronous mechanisms for the lectures, and a combination of synchronous and asynchronous for the other remote activities.
The monitoring of all activities (except for the face-to-face ones) will be carried out through the programming of deliveries and participation lists in the Virtual Campus.
Tutorials, as well as direct communication between students and between students and teachers, can be carried out through the Virtual Campus forum, through Microsoft Teams or by e-mail.
The student's evaluation will include:
1. Continuous evaluation (will be 30% of the final grade: 20% expository + 10% laboratory practice). Evaluated competences: CG6, CG12, CB1, CB3, CB6
2. Written tasks and oral presentations: 40% of the final grade. Evaluated competences: CG6, CG12, CT3, CT6, CT11
3. Written exam: 30% of the final grade (a minimum of 40% of the grade of this exam will be required, that is, 4 points out of 10). Evaluated competences: CG6, CG12, CE53, CE54, CE55.
Practical sessions are compulsory.
In the case of fraudulent exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and the revision of grades" will be applied.
The evaluation system will be exactly the same regardless of the teaching modality used (face-to-face or virtual), with the only difference that the evaluation activities will be carried out, as established by the competent authorities, either in the classroom or remotely through the telematic means available at the USC. The appropriate and/or necessary instructions will be provided in due course using the institutional communication channels Virtual Campus and e-mail.
The total number of hours of work of the student in a subject organized in ECTS credits is equal to 25 x nº ECTS. The presence and the hours of work of the student will be distributed as follows:
- Lectures: 16 hours face-to-face (16 x 1,5 = 24 hours of personal study)
- Practicals: 2 hours face-to-face and 1 hour of personal work
- Work and personal study (non-contact hours: 22 hours)
- Seminars: 2 hours and 4 hours of personal work
- Exams and review: 1 hour
- Total contact hours: 24
- Total hours of study and personal work: 51
-To participate actively, constructively and respectfully in classes, seminars and practices.
-To prepare and complement the contents that are working on the subject with the basic bibliography and complementary recommended.
-To Develop habits of autonomous search for scientific information.
-To take advantage of the available resources for the student, from the university library.
-To use appropriate tutorials to know in detail the teacher's recommendations and clarify any doubts that arise in the learning process.
- Regularly consult the virtual classroom of the subject and make use of it.
The subject is taught in the two official languages of the autonomous community
CONTINGENCY PLAN.
1. Teaching methodology.
The activities would be carried out, in a synchronous/asynchronous way and always according to the timetable established by the centre, through the different telematic means available at the USC, preferably the Virtual Campus and Microsoft Teams.
Due to the nature and contents of this subject, as well as the methodology employed, the main differences between face-to-face (classroom-based) and remote teaching are:
- Scenario 1 or adapted normality: lectures and interactive teaching (including practical sessions) will be classroom-based.
- Scenario 2 or distance teaching: on-site teaching will coexist with virtual teaching, giving preference to the latter for all activities except for practical sessions and tutorials that will be developed according to the official calendar, in any case guaranteeing a minimum of 50% physical attendance for the practical hours.

2 . Evaluation system.
In the case of fraudulent exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the Evaluation of Students' Academic Performance and the Review of Grades" will apply.
The evaluation system will be the same regardless of the teaching modality used (on-site or virtual), with the only difference that the evaluation activities will be carried out, as established by the competent authorities, either in the classroom or remotely through the telematic means available at the USC. The appropriate
and/or necessary instructions will be provided in due course using the institutional communication channels Virtual Campus and e-mail.
In order to the possibility of the teaching in the stage 2,the teacher needs to have a webcam and speakers, two that he lacks or his equipment. In order to teach non-scenario 3, the teacher needs a portable computer that includes the accessories mentioned as necessary for scenario 2.
