Con02: Recognize the physical, chemical, mathematical and statistical bases of biological processes.
Con05: Know and interpret the diversity of the microbial world, the metabolism, physiology and genetics that
regulates its functions.
Con06: Understand in depth the main physiological and metabolic processes of organisms
multicellular, as well as identify and explain the molecular bases and regulation of these processes.
H/D06: Analyze and critically evaluate the genetic, molecular and biochemical markers associated with
different pathologies and traits of interest.
H/D10: Evaluate the nutritional needs of the human organism at all stages of life.
H/D13: Adequately apply the knowledge and techniques acquired in the different subjects of the degree to
analyze a complex situation or concept and find a way to solve it.
Comp01: Develop the ability to properly organize and plan work, starting from a synthesis and
analysis that allows decisions to be made.
Comp05: Collaborate in interdisciplinary teams in any work environment, based on knowledge of the
environment and current legal regulations.
Expository classes, seminars as well as practices will be carried out on-site at the times and places indicated in the calendar of the Biochemistry Degree.
All teaching will be supported by University of Santiago de Compostela Virtual Campus platform. All students enrolled in the subject will have access to this platform. On this platform, in Nutrition subject section, advertisements, content and additional material, bibliography, cited regulations, and guides for carrying out the tasks can be found. Likewise, the Teams application will be used in those cases that the teacher considers appropriate.
The expository classes will be taught on-site in the classroom using audiovisual presentations and other materials to support the presentation.
The seminars will consist of the presentation by the student of a topical issue proposed by the teacher. The teacher will present several topics and the student must choose one of them to present in class.
Tutorship to maintain direct communication between students and between students and the teacher will be carried out through the 奇趣腾讯分分彩 Virtual Campus forum. Additionally, meetings with the teams application, email and face-to-face could also be orginished by the tearcher.
Evaluation of the student will be carried out taking into account the continuous evaluation (30% of the final classification) and the final exam (70% of the final grade), the student must have passed the final exam to add the continuous evaluation mark.
1. The continuous evaluation includes the evaluation of the student in the expository classes, seminars and practices:
鈥tudent evaluation in expository classes (5% of the final grade) the student's attitude will be assessed (punctuality, use of mobile devices,...), attendance and participation in class, test performance and work proposed by the teacher
鈥valuation of seminars (10% of the final grade) the student's attitude will be assessed (punctuality, use of mobile devices, computer, tablet or mobile, 鈥�), attendance and participation. From the exposition of the topic, aspects such as: Organization of the presentation, attitude, punctuality, ability to answer questions and critical capacity will be taken into account.
鈥valuation of practices (15% of the final grade). Attendance at practices and delivery of the practice notebook IS MANDATORY TO PASS THE SUBJECT. The student's attitude (punctuality, use of mobile devices, computer, tablet or mobile, ...) and participation will be valued. Students must submit the notebook after completing the practices of the subject, through the practice tool of the virtual campus. A well-organized, presentable and legible practice notebook will be delivered.
Evaluated competences:
Con02: Recognize the physical, chemical, mathematical and statistical bases of biological processes.
Con05: Know and interpret the diversity of the microbial world, the metabolism, physiology and genetics that
regulates its functions.
Con06: Understand in depth the main physiological and metabolic processes of organisms
multicellular, as well as identify and explain the molecular bases and regulation of these processes.
H/D06: Analyze and critically evaluate the genetic, molecular and biochemical markers associated with

analysis that allows decisions to be made.
Comp05: Collaborate in interdisciplinary teams in any work environment, based on knowledge of the
environment and current legal regulations.
2. Evaluation of the final exam (70% of the final grade). The exam will consist of short questions and/or simple or multiple answer multiple choice questions. The student must obtain a SCORE HIGHER THAN 50% of the maximum possible mark of the exam so that said score is taken into account in the final grade of the subject.

The subject consists of 6 ECT, that is, 150 hours of student work. These hours include all student activities that are distributed as follows:
鈥� Expository Class: 33 hours
鈥� Interactive Classes 15 hours (3 hours of seminars and 12 of practices)
鈥� Group tutorials: 3 hours
鈥� Student Work: 99 hours
*Show attention and interest while attending face-to-face classes.
