INTEGRATION OF THE SDGs,

The contents of this course connect with the following SDGs: SDG-3 HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AND SDG-4 QUALITY EDUCATION

4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

- Training activity: Master classes (4.0 ECTS). Teaching-learning methodology: Presentation by the teaching staff of the contents of the didactic units of the subject, promoting discussion and active participation of the students. New technologies will be used, promoting student access to the virtual platform where they will have didactic material (such as summaries of the master classes). This activity will allow the acquisition of skills related to competencies CT1; CT2; CT3; CT4; CT5; CT6; CT7; CT8; CT9; CT10; CE44; EC45; CE46; CE47; CE51.

- Training activity: Laboratory practices (1 ECTS). Teaching-learning methodology: They will be carried out in small working groups in the laboratory of Microbiology. The teacher will explain the fundamentals and development of each practice. The students, with the support of the practice script, will carry out the corresponding experimental procedures, to achieve results that they have to analyse and discuss to obtain the conclusions of the work. This activity will allow the acquisition of skills related to competence 3, the development of work skills in a Microbiology laboratory, as well as the interpretation of microbiological analysis results. This activity will allow the acquisition of skills related to competencies CT1; CT2; CT3; CT4; CT5; CT6; CT7; CT8; CT9; CT10; GC4; CE49;

- Training activity: Seminars (1 ECTS)

Teaching-learning methodology: Specialized seminars will be held to guide students in current specialized topics. This will also facilitate the acquisition of group work skills, knowledge of and consultation of specialized bibliographic sources, and the ability to synthesize. This activity will allow the acquisition of skills related to competencies CT1; CT2; CT3; CT4; CT5; CT6; CT7; CT8; CT9; CT10; GC4; CE49;

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

Presentation by the faculty of the contents of the teaching units of the course, promoting discussion and active participation of students. This will be face to face unless any other indication from the Dean and the risk management office.

10 laboratory sessions of 2h each  

In situ in a percentage that will be subdued to the Risk Management Office indications.

Students will divide in as many teams as physical posts are allowed in the laboratory. Students will attend in turns in the  in situ classes and will use the rest of the training estimated time in online videoconferences with their team mates in order to succeed in performing all the tasks and experiments indicated by the teacher. Each team will later submit a joint paper.

Tutorials
