4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

  • Lectures: expository method primarily supported by the use of the blackboard and a video projector. The active participation of students in class will be promoted at all times.
  • Lab practices: the objective is to become aware about the importance of applying good laboratory practices and gather together all the results of the experiments conducted in the laboratory in a personal laboratory notebook. This will greatly enhance the students' performance and achievement. During the development of practices, the teacher will attempt to resolve the particular difficulties of students and insist on concepts and ideas relating to the practice in question. 
  • Seminars: taking into account the heterogeneity of the degrees of origin of students, seminars will be held to support the lectures. A particular unit will be presented for a limited time and then students will work on resolving issues and / or exercises.
  • Resolution of questionnaires: several exercises will be propose to the students throughout the course. These exercises will consist of short questions for applying the theory and they will be resolved outside of class. They will be given to the students, gathered in an appropriate period of time, corrected, returned to the students along with solutions and discussed in the seminars.
  • Conferences: a lecture by an expert in olive oils will be organized.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

At the end of the course, a written exam on the material taught in the lectures and a written test on the practices of laboratory will be held. Conducting laboratory practices is compulsory to pass the course. The mark in the theoretical and practical exams must be at least 4.0 to pass the course. Students will be able to perform a recovery of the theoretical and practical exams.
