General description and relevant information <p>Els objectius d'aquesta assignatura són entre altres, donar a conèixer les parts d'un cep mitjançan un estudi exhaustiu de l'anatomia i les funcions de cada òrgan i/o estructura, i veure el seu paper dins dels cicle vitals, interannuals i annuals. D'altra banda també es tractará, la part més botànica, la taxonomia i la sistemàtica de la vinya. Tampoc es descuidarà la història, per entendre la complexitat de les actuals varietats tant de les viniferes europees com de les americanes. </p>

Other comments and second exam session

This course consists of two distinct parts: THE THEORY BLOCK (with a weight of 80% on the final grade) AND THE SEMINAR BLOCK (with a weight of 20% on the final grade).

To PASS this subject, the student must have achieved a 5.00 in the average of the previous BLOCKS, as long as the scores for each part are not lower than 4.00

Each of the BLOCKS may or may not consist of different parts to examine or to obtain a grade. On the first day of the course, the student will be informed of the parts that each block consists of, if parts are finally made. A student passes one of the PARTS of the corresponding BLOCK when he gets a grade equal to or higher than 5.00. If the student in question achieves a grade between 4.99 and 4.00, he will be able to average with another or other parts of the same BLOCK.

All these assessment tests will be official in so far as they will be published in the student's exam calendar (FE website) and will configure the two official calls. Equally, the teacher may propose other tests or evaluative exercises by mutual agreement with the student. In this case, the student will be able to choose or not freely according to the new requirements generated by the occasion, without losing any rights (keeping the official tests).

Students who do not pass the 1st exam call will have another chance in the 2nd call. This will consist of a test and/or oral exam (colloquium). If it is the THEORY BLOCK, in the 2nd convocation the student will be examined for the entire subject. In the case of the SEMINAR BLOCK, in the 2nd convocation, you will only have to recover the part you have suspended, if parts have finally been made.

When tests are carried out, and always for the proper functioning of them, the student must sign up for Moodle beforehand to be able to take them (following the teacher's instructions).

Compulsory attendance subject for both Theory and Seminars. Particular cases and justified exceptions will be taken into account. The teacher will always have the final decision and/or resolution.

The COORDINATOR reserves the right to make changes to the syllabus and organization of the subject (including assessment tests) that he/she deems appropriate for the good of his/her students.

During assessment tests, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that are not expressly authorized by the test must be turned off and out of sight.

Demonstrably fraudulent completion of any assessment activity of any subject, both in physical and virtual and electronic support, will result in the student receiving a failing grade for this assessment activity. Regardless of this, given the seriousness of the facts, the center can propose the initiation of a disciplinary file, which will be initiated by a resolution of the rector.

Other comments
This subject, apart from having the aspect of understanding the biological and physiological processes that take place in Vitis vinifera L., and what application they will have in Viticulture, there is a powerful memory aspect. MANY HOURS OF STUDY ARE NEEDED.
