The job of Biologist requires knowledge in several subjects. One of such topics is Plant Physiology, the science about how plants work. The present course is intended to provide theoretical and practical knowledge in Plant Physiology to the student, as well as a positive attitude to this science.
Contingency plan
1. Changes in content
The contents will not be modified, since they are basic for the formation of a Graduate in Biology
2. Methodologies
Being a subject of the second semester, three situations may arise:
A- Normal face-to-face teaching, if access to the Faculty was allowed at a time and capacity like those before the pandemic. In that case it would return to a fully face-to-face system.
B- Hybrid teaching, if access to the Faculty is restricted during hours or capacity. In that case there would be a combination of face-to-face and online teaching.
C- No face-to-face, if access to the Faculty was totally prohibited in that semester. In that case the teaching would be completelly online.
* Teaching methodologies that are maintained
In case A, all of them.
* Teaching methodologies that are modified.
In case B, the lectures would be taught on a rotating basis (the number of students would not exceed the allowed capacity of the classroom) and at the same time the class would be broadcasted online with Teams. In the case of the practicals, the capacity in the laboratory would be reduced and part of the practicals would be taught online with ad hoc materials generated by the lecturers. The small groups would be partly face-to-face and partly online.
In case C, lectures, practicals and small groups would be carried out entirely online.
3. Mechanisms for personalized attention to students
Email, tutoring by Teams and forums in Moodle, with daily attention in the case of email and forums, and upon request of the students in the case of tutoring by Teams.
4. Modifications in the assessment
In case A, face-to-face. In cases B and C, online assessment (Moodle and other institutional tools).
* Assessment observations:
5. Modifications of the bibliography or webgraphy
In case A, none. In cases B and C: if possible, alternative and / or additional books in electronic format that were accessed from the beginning of that semester (provided that they are published as Open Access in the coming months or have an institutional subscription), and in any case additional ad hoc material generated by the lecturers.
(*)The teaching guide is the document in which the URV publishes the information about all its courses. It is a public document and cannot be modified. Only in exceptional cases can it be revised by the competent agent or duly revised so that it is in line with current legislation.
