Basic knowledge of:
The objective is to present biocatalysis and its fields of application as an alternative to classical catalysis. The knowledge of biocatalysts will be deepened as the central axis of a transformation and of the aspects of engineering of the main elements that make up biotransformation, such as the biocatalyst, the reaction medium, the bioreactor and its operation. Also the classification and study of the different biotransformations according to the biocatalyst used and different case studies. The final objective is that the student is able to define the main elements of a biotransformation and can design a biocatalytic process.

Scheduled evaluation process and activities
Throughout the course different evaluation activities will be carried out that will lead to the final grade of the subject obtained by continuous evaluation. Specifically, the evaluable activities will be:
The written work and the oral presentation of the work are non-recoverable.
The subject is considered passed if the average of the 4 activities is 5 or higher, as long as no part is less than 4.0
If the average of the 4 activities is less than 5, the suspended activities (with less than 5) must be recovered
Programming evaluation activities
At the beginning of the subject groups will be formed to do the written work. The delivery of written work and oral presentations will be communicated through the virtual campus.
Recovery process
The student can apply for recovery whenever he has submitted to a set of activities that represent at least two thirds of the total grade of the subject. Of these, students who have on average of all the activities of the subject a grade higher than 3.5 may be presented in the recovery.
The partial exams are eliminatory, therefore, a student who has passed a partial exam will not be able to appear for the recovery of this exam. Youwill have to compulsorily recover those partial exams where the student has obtained a grade lower than 4 regardless of the average obtained according to the calculation of the section "Process and programmed evaluation activities"
The calculation of the grade will be done in the same way as in the continuous evaluation
Procedure for review of qualifications
For each evaluation activity, a place, date and time of revision in which the student can review the activity with the teacher will be indicated. In this context, claims may be made on the activity grade, which will be evaluated by the faculty responsible for the subject. If the student does not appear in this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.
Ratings
Granting a grade of honor registration is the decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. The regulations of the UAB indicate that MH can only be granted to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or greater than 9.00. You can grant up to 5% of MH of the total number of students enrolled.
Irregularities by the student, copy and plagiarism
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, the irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation of the grade of an evaluation act will be scored with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, letting copy, etc. in any of the evaluation activities will involve suspending with a zero. The evaluation activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these evaluation activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, without the opportunity to recover it in the same course. In this situation the final grade that will be reflected in the minutes will be a 2.
Evaluation of repeating students
There is no provision for a different evaluation system for repeating students.
