4.1. Methodological overview

The methodology followed in this course is oriented towards the achievement of the learning objectives. A wide range of teaching and learning tasks are implemented divided in two formative activities. 

• Formative Activity 1: Acquisition of basic knowledge of Physics (6 ECTS). 
  Methodology: participatory Lectures in large group. 
  Tutorials (small and / or individual groups). 
  Working with Web support
  Reporting on topics proposed by the teacher, presentation and discussion in class. 
• Formative Activity 2. Troubleshooting and analysis of case studies in small groups in the lab and / or classroom (3 ECTS) 
  Methodology: Personal study. 
  Problem-based learning. 
  Working in the laboratory. 
  Prepare reports on laboratory work according to the model proposed by the Professor

4.2. Learning tasks

The course includes the following learning tasks:

• Lectures.
• Practice sessions. Interactive sessions in which  on problems.
• Laboratory practical work in small groups.
• Tutorials.

Support using the available resources in the space allocated to the subject in moodle. It will serve as a repository of materials: presentations of topics, exercises, virtual laboratory, etc.

4.4. Course planning and calendar

The period of lectures and practical classes will coincide with the established officially. Available at: https://ciencias.unizar.es/grado-en-biotecnologia.

The places of classes and practical sessions, as well as the calendar and practice groups will be established in coordination with the rest of teachers at the beginning of the academic year. The Coordinator will produce groups of practices in order not to produce overlaps with other subjects.

Personalized tutoring: 1 hour/month per pupil in groups of 10 students in time to agree with the teacher.

Schedule of submission of papers: each proposed task will appear on the moodle platform along with the date of delivery. 

For students enrolled in, places, times and dates of lectures and practical sessions will be published in the Biotechnology Official Bulletin Board  of the grade on the platform Moodle at the University of Zaragoza https://moodle2.unizar.es/add/  and in the moodle course. These channels are also used to communicate enrolled students distribution by groups of practices that will be organized by the coordination of the degree.

Provisional dates are available on the website of the Faculty of Sciences in the corresponding section of the degree in biotechnology: https://ciencias.unizar.es/grado-en-biotecnologia. In this web the dates of exams in the section degree in biotechnology are also available.
