Methodologies
Methodologies   ::  
  Description
Lecture In them the theoretical contents will be presented with the support of multimedia presentations.
Seminars The students, directed by the teacher, will learn to use the instruments of the subject, to determine the age of the animals, to identify and differentiate the breeds of the different species and to recognize the normal behavior of animals and their alterations. All this through the use of multimedia presentations and instruments typical of the profession.
Field work/trips Practical farm and dog show classes: students, led by the teacher, will come into contact with live animals, determining in some cases their age and in others their breed.
Assignments The students will carry out, with the teacher's advice, work of some of the following types: 1. Chronometry: jaws of cattle, sheep, goats, horses or dogs. 2. Chronometry Photographic. 3. Photographic Ethnology. 4. Ethology Video. 5. Bring a purebred dog to the exhibition that will be held in May.
Presentations / expositions Students will publicly present the work they have done. You will have five to ten minutes to do this.
Personal tuition Personalized attention in the teacher's office, with prior appointment.

Personal tuition
Field work/trips
Assignments
Description
Tutoring: personal attention will be given to students in the teacher's office, by appointment.

Outings: Individual attention will be given to students to learn how to hold the animals and determine their age.

Assignments: students will be advised and directed in how to carry out and present/defend the assignments.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Seminars Attendance is mandatory.
After each seminar/practice the student must take an "objective multiple choice test" on the subject of the day. 		Together with field practices they represent up to 10% of the final grade
Field work/trips Attendance is mandatory.
After each practice the student must take an "objective multiple choice test" on the subject of the day. 		Together with the seminars they constitute up to 10% of the final grade
Presentations / expositions Each student will present and defend, publicly, for a period of 5 to 10 minutes, the work done.
The quality of the work (photos, videos, etc.), the ease in the presentation and the answers to the questions posed will be assessed. Excess time in the exhibition will be penalized. 		Up to 10% of the final grade
Objective multiple-choice tests They will be carried out after each practice, seminar, or field practice.
They will consist of about ten multiple choice or true/false questions.
The institutional Moodle educational platform will be used. 		As has been pointed out in seminars and field practices, they represent up to 10% of the final grade.
Students who do not reach an arithmetic average of 2.5 in these tests will not be able to take the practical tests and mixed tests of the ordinary June session.
Mixed tests Only students who have taken and passed the practical photographic identification/recognition test (described below) will be able to take it.
It will consist of a series of 60 multiple choice multiple choice questions, separated into two blocks: one on Ethnology (30 questions) and another on Ethology and Animal Protection (30 questions). Each block is scored as follows: 30 correct answers = 10 points; 28 correct answers = 9 points...; 20 = 5; 18 = 4… Wrong answers do not count, only correct answers are counted.
To pass the test, at least 4 points are required in each block.
To carry out the tests, the possession of any type of electronic device (phones, tablets, watches, etc.), no tipex, or pencils will not be allowed, and only a pen, blue or black, will be allowed. Warm clothing will also not be allowed inside the exam room (except for environmental needs). 		The grade obtained in the Ethnology block (if it exceeds 4) will be averaged with the grade obtained in the practical test (described below) and this will be the Ethnology grade that represents up to 40% of the final grade.
The grade obtained in the Ethology and Animal Protection block represents up to 40% of the final grade. At least a 4 is required to pass the test
Practical tests Only students who have completed at least 80% of the practices may take the practical photographic identification/recognition test.
In the ordinary June session, students who have not achieved at least an average grade of 2.5 in the objective multiple choice tests described above will not be able to take this test.
The test will be exclusive. It will be essential to pass it to be able to take the mixed test.
It will consist of 30 images. The student must determine the age of the animal or the peculiarity, particularity, region, etc., indicated in the image, or the breed of the animal, etc. The first two images will be chronometry and the student must get at least one of them right. To pass the test you must have at least 24 correct answers (which means a numerical grade of 4 out of 10).
To take the test, the possession of any type of electronic device (phones, tablets, watches, etc.), tipex or pencils will not be allowed and only a pen, blue or black, will be allowed. Warm clothing will also not be allowed inside the exam room (except for environmental needs). 		The grade obtained here will be averaged with the grade obtained in the Ethnology block of the mixed tests. This average represents up to 40% of the final grade
 
Other comments and second call

During the evaluation tests, it will not be possible to use printed materials or electronic resources (calculators, tablets, phones, computers, etc.), except for those tests that, under the express direction of the teacher, require the use of any of these resources. If any irregularity occurs during the corresponding exam or evaluation test, the exam will be immediately withdrawn, the student will be expelled and graded as a fail. In any case, the provisions of the internal regulations of the ULe included in the document "Guidelines for action in cases of plagiarism, copying or fraud in exams or evaluation tests" will be followed (Approved Permanent Commission of the Governing Council 01/29 /2015).
