There are no prerequisites for this subject. There is a limitation on the number of students to 36 people. The selection will be based on the number of credits passed and the academic record
The products derived from alcoholic fermentation are widely represented in many cultures around the world, and are commonly consumed. Products that retain a high ethanol content in their final form are usually consumed only by the adult population. There are, however, others for which alcoholic fermentation is only an intermediate stage before producing the final product (bread, vinegars ...).
Within the subject, the wine industry will be taken as a backbone of the theoretical classes and as a thread of the processes used in other products. The other two products also important in our environment, beer and cider, will be covered more seriously. Other auxiliary topics will be developed through work carried out by students.
The objective is for students to know this industry, which is very important in the Mediterranean environment, and to develop relationships with industrial processes, biochemical changes and microbiological processes that they have studied in previous years.
Expositive-participatory classes
Practical classes
Unless the requirements enforced by the health authorities demand a prioritization or reduction of these contents.
The methodology used in this subject to achieve the learning process is based on making the student work the information that is available to him. The function of the teacher is to give him the information or tell him where he can get it, help him and tutor it so that the learning process can be carried out effectively. To achieve this goal, the subject is based on the following activities:
Expositive lectures
The content of the theory program will be given by the teaching team in the form of expository classes. The theoretical classes will be complemented with the visualization of animations and videos related to the subjects treated in class. The visual aids used in class by the teacher will be available on the Virtual Campus. It is recommended that students print this material and take it to class to use it as a support when taking notes. Although it is not essential to extend the contents of the classes taught by the teacher unless expressly requested by the latter, it is advised that students regularly consult the books recommended in the Bibliography section in order to consolidate and clarify, if necessary, the contents explained in class.
With these lectures, the student acquires the basic scientific-technical knowledge of the subject that must complement with the personal study of the subjects explained.
Laboratory practices
The students will go to the practical sessions with the script. A brief questionnaire will be made at the beginning of the session to validate that the students read it previously. We want to enhance the development of planning skills, observation and manual skills. Students will be taught in the handling of processing and control equipment and devices, learning to record their observations and discoveries, evaluating the results and discovering the links between theory and experimental work
After the practice session, the students will prepare a collective report for each group of work in the laboratory.
Mentoring
The tutorial sessions aim to direct and help the student in their training. Tutoring hours will be used to resolve doubts about the contents of the subject. Students can take the tutorials to ask questions, comment or raise doubts that have emerged throughout the course.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

In order to be able to choose to be evaluated of the subject, it will be necessary to have realized the practices. Non-attendance is allowed for one practical session as a maximum. Visits do not count within this compulsory nature.
The grade of the subject will be obtained from the weighted average of the following activities:
It is considered that a student is not evaluable if he has not participated in evaluation activities that represent ≤ 15% of the final grade.
In the event that a student enrolls for the second time of the subject, they will have to go back to doing the written examination activity and the development of specific topics. The repetition of visits and practices is optional, and the student may decide to retain the qualification obtained in the first enrollment.
The students who have been evaluated of activities that represent at least 2/3 of the final qualification, and who want to improve their global qualification, will be able to realize a written proof of recovery. This test will not change the qualification obtained nor in the reports of practices and visits, nor to one of the evaluations of the subjects prepared by the companions. In the case of the recovery test, the qualification will be obtained from the mid-term of the following activities:
Student’s assessments may experience some modifications depending on the restrictions to face-to-face activities enforced by health authorities.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Delivery of reports of laboratory practices (group activity) | 25% of global evaluation | 0.5 | 0.02 | 4 |
Elaboration of materials in the form of wiki (group activity) and qualification of the subjects elaborated by the other groups (individual activity) | 40% of global evaluation | 2.5 | 0.1 | 8, 4, 10 |
Final exam (individual evaluation) | 35% of global evaluation | 1 | 0.04 | 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 |
It will be necessary to use some office automation package to elaborate the works that the teachers commission. The contents will be conveyed through the Virtual Campus of the subject.
In case it is necessary to do synchronous activities remotely, the Teams platform will be used, where students must access using their institutional e-mail.
