General description and relevant information <p><b><i>GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT.-&nbsp;</i></b>The main objective of this subject is the study of the analytical methods of the main chemical components of wine. This implies establishing a theoretical base but also working on the most practical aspects. This is intended for the student to learn to function in the oenological laboratory, interpret a wine analysis protocol and apply them to the resolution of oenological problems.</p><p>As for laboratory practicals, its completion is mandatory to pass the subject, so the security protocols established by the center will be scrupulously followed. This may imply changes in the programming, organization and duration since they will be adapted to the circumstances of the moment in which they are carried out.</p>

  Description
Introductory activities Subject Introduction. Evaluation criteria
Lecture Theory on the different topics related to the subject with visual support (videos, powerpoint, documentation...)
Problem solving, exercises in the classroom Approach, development and resolution of oenological problems. Discussion of the results obtained based on real situations in a winery/cellar.
Laboratory practicals Carry out in the laboratory the different chemical analyses that are necessary for the correct control of the wine. For this,it will be necessary to search the bibliography for the appropriate protocol, reason the methodology used and do the analysis with a real sample. In all cases, it is necessari to detail the procedures in an own laboratory notebook and , finally,present a final report with the results obtained and their discussion.
Forums of debate Discussion about problems, methods of analysis and current topics related to the subject. Online support with forums
Assignments Short format tasks related to the different topics covered/discussed in class.
Personal attention The student can expose their doubts and questions during the class but also using online support (email, forums, chats...)
Moreover the student can arrange a personal meeting with the teacher (in this case it is recommended to ensure the availability of the teacher)

The contents, sources of information consulted, suitability and presentation of tasks will be evaluated.
When the task consists on problems'resolution the items considered on the evaluation will be: the method followed to reach the result, the result itself and also the critical discussion of the results obtained.


In all cases, the edition, spelling and grammar of the text will be taken into account.
The tasks will account for 25% of the theory
Mixed tests

THE ASSISTANCE TO THE PRACTICES IS OBLIGATÒRIA.

The theoretical part accounts for 60% of the final grade (75% tests and 25% papers). The practical part accounts for 40% of the final grade (10% laboratory, 10% reports, 80% exam)

All these percentages will be used to obtain the note of the continuous evaluation that will constitute the first call.

Students who do not pass this or have a low grade will have a second call that will consist of a written exam with a part related to the theoretical part and another part related to the practical part. Each part will account for 50% of the grade and will require a minimum grade of 4 to average. In any case, the subject can only be passed when the average of both parts is equal to or greater than 5.

In exceptional cases in which it is not possible to attend the practices (and always with justification), a practical exam

During the tests/assessment exams, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that are not expressly authorized to carry out the test must be switched off. The demonstrable fraudulent performance of any evaluation activity, both in material and virtual and electronic support, will mean the failure of the student in the subject. Without prejudice to this, depending on the seriousness of the facts, the center has the power to propose the opening of a sanctioning file, which will be opened by resolution of the rector.
