Comp01 - Develop the ability to properly organize and plan work, starting from a synthesis and analysis that
allow you to make decisions.
Con02 - Recognize the physical, chemical, mathematical and statistical bases of biological processes.
H/D01 - Adequately apply physical, chemical, mathematical and statistical tools to the study of biological processes.
In the theory classes (36 hours) the theoretical concepts established in the subject program are explained, trying to follow a methodology that facilitates the acquisition of knowledge by the students. The active participation of the student will be sought.
In the seminar classes (8 hours) the problems proposed prior to the
students through bulletins, which can be done individually or in groups.
Individual tutorials will be carried out to clarify problems and questions of each student, as well as tutorials in the classrooms in small groups (7 hours) where the understanding and difficulties that the students had regarding the different knowledge acquired will be monitored, trying to resolve all the doubts and problems that arise. Tasks for reflection and application to real-life industrial sectors will also be proposed.
The virtual campus will be used for uploading content, self-assessment exercises and work to be done by the student.
-Exams: A final exam will be taken. In general, the exams consist of a theory-questions part and a part of problems, each of which is scored out of 10, and it is achieved between both as long as the score for each part is not less than four. Otherwise, the exam is failed with the lowest grade. Since the final grade for the subject can reach 10, the continuous evaluation (attendance and activity in class, bulletins of practical cases and work on the virtual campus) will mean 2 points (Competences evaluated: Comp01, Con02 and H/D01) . Therefore, the final exam will count for a maximum of 8 points (e.g.: a 10 in the exam will mean an 8 for the calculation of the final grade, which will be 10 if 2 points are reached in the continuous evaluation). Below 5 on the exam will automatically mean failing the subject, and will not take into account the continuous evaluation grade.
To monitor and understand the contents of the subject, the student must spend 26 hours for expository and interactive teaching of seminars (newsletters, virtual campus), 49 hours for group tutorials. 20 hours will be necessary to prepare for the exam and 4 hours to complete it.
- Carry out the exercises and questions proposed.
- Consult the books recommended by the teacher
The subject will be taught in Spanish and Galician
