BLOCK 4 (PRACTICAL)

1. SOIL QUALITY INDEX

2. SOIL ASSESSMENT FOR OLIVE CULTIVATION

During theory classes the content and scope of the subject will be explained in a reasoned way, exposing real examples of soil management practices in various situations (i.e., conventional and ecological olive groves), as well as the recommended bibliography will be commented critically. In the laboratory classes we will familiarize the students with basic determinations in the field about soil fertility, on material specific of olive grove soils. Work will be carried out in the resolution of exercises and the preparation of works (preferably from individual type) under the premise of teacher-student interactivity.

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

Most of the evaluation will be carried out through a written exam, although the involvement of the student will be very important through questions in class, delivery of solved exercises and elaboration and exhibition of complementary works; In addition to the development of practical laboratory and field contents.

3.  RESOURCES

The resources in the mixed scenario are summarized as follows:

- Virtualized theory classes will be carried out using mini-videos and the necessary tools to broadcast online with Google-Meet. The rest of the Big Group theory classes will be given in an ordinary way in the classroom.

- AADs and laboratory practices, indicate that they will participate in person in the laboratory the number of students that allow the capacity and that the rest will work in a no presence manner.

- Written reports on specific topics will be carried out through the Virtual Training platform.

- Students will be informed in advance of GSuite-Calendar and e-mail from the Virtual Training platform, both in the manner and date of the different tests and exams.

- The tutorials and review of exams will be carried out by telematics at the time indicated in advance, preferably by videoconference (Google Meet), or by e-mail of the Virtual Training platform.

3. RESOURCES 

The no presence scenario resources are summarized as follows:

- Theory classes will be held online using Google-Meet for 100% virtual, in addition to classes subject to virtualization.

- AADs and laboratory and field practices will be done on-line using Google-Meet and different video tutorials present on tv-ujaen and on the network (YouTube, Vimero, etc.).

- Written reports on specific topics will be carried out through the Virtual Training platform.

- Students will be informed in advance of GSuite-Calendar and e-mail from the Virtual Training platform, both in the manner and date of the different tests and exams.

- The tutorials and review of exams will be carried out by telematics at the time indicated in advance, preferably by video-conference (Google Meet), or by e-mail of the Virtual Training platform.

- In general, the resources include the technical means provided by the University of Jaén, as well as other resources such as electronic bibliographic resources that do not require physical presence in the library.
