Teaching methodology
• Theoretical sessions with the support of ICT and with systematic use of the Virtual Campus as teaching support. Exceptionally, face-to-face teaching may be combined with virtual teaching for up to 10% of the total hours of the subject.
• Autonomous practical work in small groups and supervised by the teacher.
• Students must complete a written report related to the subject. The preparation rules will be explained in the presentation of the subject.
• Tutorials, either face-to-face or online.
Students will attend theoretical classes and will be able to participate in the debates that arise.
The teaching is carried out at very practical levels (use of natural and artificial models, slides, videos, visits to farms and livestock concentrations, animal protection societies, etc.).
Theoretical lessons are reduced to 17. Fourteen hours per student are used for practical classes.
There will be 5 hours of blackboard practices in order to instill the scientific spirit, develop in students the technique of critical thinking and original thinking, as well as improve oral expression skills and encourage group dynamics.
The practices will be carried out with a small number of students (between 10 and 20 students depending on the practice). The active visits and field practices will be carried out at the Centro de Recursos Zooxenéticos de Galicia (Fontefiz, Coles. Ourense) and CEBIOVET.
Evaluation system
- Regular attendance at theoretical sessions and compulsory scheduled practical activities / To be able to do the final exam it is necessary to attend 100% of practical sessions.
Evaluation of two theoretical approaches (60% gives final grade)
At the end of the course, an exam mandatory and complementary of continuous evaluation, will be carried out with two differentiated parts: multiple-choice questions (errors have a negative score) and short questions. Plus the students may know how to do the international system to describing horses. To pass the subject, all three parts must be passed separately. Students who do not pass this exam, or do not show up, can choose to examine everything or topics in the second call for xunio / xullo. An important part of the theoretical exam will include the practices of the subject.If the final exam is not passed, the grade that will be applied will be the one obtained in this exam, relativized to ten and will not be added to the other grades.
Evaluation of the seminar (40% gives final grade)
To pass the written report, students must include all the sections indicated in the presentation of the subject (introduction, material and methods, results, discussion, conclusions and bibliography). They must follow the minimum length and the bibliography indicated on the first day of the course. A part of the reports will be selected at the teacher's discretion to be exhibited in the practical blackboard sessions. The summaries of the works presented will be subject to evaluation in the theoretical exam. Report assessment is not saved from one year to another.
It is compulsory to attend or 100% of practicals. If a student misses any, they must provide or justify and recover it as soon as possible. If not or not, it will be considered that the student did not carry out the practices and as a consequence could not pass the subject.
In accordance with the biosafety regulations that can be consulted in the Virtual Classroom, it is mandatory or the use of a mask, a lab coat, flip-flops and rubber boots to access the practice room. It is optional but can be sealed or it comes with safety glasses. At the entrance to the hall, there are the basic biosafety rules that the student must observe in the room; Any doubted in this regard will be resolved by a teaching staff. Additionally, hygienic measures will be maintained or implemented according to the sanitary recommendations of the moment (hydroxel, mask obrigatorieda when no sign possible to guarantee a minimum safety distance, etc ...).
No case of plagiarism, fraud or improper use of technologies during the realization of telematic tests, will be applied or applied to the "Norm of evaluation of academic performance two students and of revision of qualifications".
