INTERACTIVE TEACHING
a) SEMINARS: There will be 3 sessions, 3 hours each (TA II S1-S2-S3). They will be divided into 4 groups: 2 morning groups and 2 afternoon groups (G1-G4). Each session contemplates the resolution of practical cases, problems, and questions on aspects related to specific aspects of the subject. (3 hours x 4 groups = 12 hours x 3 sessions = 36 hours).
b) INTERACTIVE TEACHING OF EXTRAMURAL PRACTICES (TAII E1, TAII E2, TAII E3, TAII E4)
There will be 4 practices of 3.75 hours each. They will consist of knowing the production processes of foods of animal origin and all the related aspects in companies related to the subject.
They may be replaced by supermarket practices to learn different aspects of the distribution and storage of products of animal origin, or laboratory practices.
Chronology of internships
Practices are given according to the official calendar
TUTORING. They will be carried out in 1 hour sessions (TA II T1) and will receive an initial tutorial to present the subject and resolve any doubts that the students may have about the subject.
STUDENT CARE TUTORIALS. They are tutorials that are not reflected in the calendar, which will be carried out throughout the course to answer students' questions.

- Practical classes. Students will be able to learn about the different aspects related to the food industry
- Field trip
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. 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.
The degree evaluation system will follow the general regulations of the USC regarding the evaluation of academic performance, attendance at classes in the teachings adapted to the EHEA and the permanence of students.
The planned evaluation mechanisms include:
1. Continuous evaluation (30% of the final grade): the personal and collaborative work of the students will be collected through active participation in the classroom and tests, and outside the classroom through the tools of the USC virtual campus that will include:
- Research assignments including research on topics on the subject using Copilot or another AI tool and tagging on a well-explained related product, with a time of 1 week to submit homework. In some classes, at the end of class a Research assignment on the topic will be carried out using Copilot or another AI tool that will be delivered in class.
- asynchronous quizzes (one asynchronous multiple choice quiz for each week of class to solve over 1 week,...).
2. Evaluation of the seminars (10% of the final grade): An exam will be taken in the last Seminar. Compulsory attendance. Attendance is not waived.
3. Attendance at the practical sessions will be mandatory and their evaluation will be continuous. Attendance is not waived. Competencies evaluated: D1VUSC 03, D1VUSC 15, D1VUSC 03, D1VUSC 15, CTVUSC 01, CTVUSC 02, CTVUSC 03, CTVUSC 04, CTVUSC 05, CTVUSC 06, CTVUSC 07
4-Evaluation of theoretical-practical knowledge (will account for 60% of the final grade). It will consist of a final in-person test that will evaluate all theoretical and 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 single multiple choice exam of 40 questions with 4 possible answers, and only one correct answer in which each incorrect answer subtracts 33%. The questionnaire will be in sequential navigation mode with 8 questions per page, shuffling questions and answers. To pass the subject, students must obtain a score higher than 45% of the maximum possible grade for this exam.
FINAL GRADE = (Theoretical-practical knowledge evaluation grade x 0.6) + (Continuous evaluation grade x 0.3) + (Seminars evaluation grade x 0.1)
Competencies evaluated: CEDVUSC 12. CEDVUSC 14. CEDVUSC 16. D1VUSC 03. D1VUSC 15
In the case of second chance calls, and in the following course, the scores obtained in Continuous Assessment 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 of the final exam will be saved for subsequent courses.
ASSISTANCE WAIVER
There is no exemption from attendance at lecture classes, seminars, laboratory practices, computer practices, and active visits, which will be 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.

-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, 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).
