Teaching Methods
The methodology of teaching followed in this teaching course will involve lectures, laboratory
and field classes, to be familiar with the diversity of organisms present and the critical observation of the sanitary status of the crop visited.
Lecture classes will make generous use of images (power points, videos) of diseased material, pests and weeds, affected plant organs.
There will be participative discussions on issues of particular interest. Students will be
encouraged to search for scientific information in trustable internet sites, databases (b-on) and
other sources. The student participation in classes will be considered in the final grade.
The continuous assessment consists of 2 written frequency tests with 50% each. Alternatively, a final exam can be chosen.
