Objectives

Complement the information acquired during the degree by introducing complementary information to that acquired during the first cycle related to agronomy and food science.

It is intended that students complement their training on topics related to agronomy and food science.

Learning outcomes and competences

The student must be able to elaborate on a topic in agronomy or food science.

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

n.a.

Program

1. Complement of agronomy and food science

Mandatory literature

Craig C. Sheaffer; Introduction to agronomy. ISBN: 978-1-111-31233-6

Teaching methods and learning activities

Students will be provided with a set of topics and information (papers, books, websites, databases) from which the student must choose one. The student must then prepare a critical and updated analysis of the proposed topic.
This analysis must be done in the form of a monography with a minimum size of 12 pages and a maximum of 15 pages (A4). The work must be structured in: Title, Summary (max. 200 words), Introduction, Discussion, Conclusions and Bibliography (up to 25 references). Whenever necessary, graphical items (images, graphs, diagrams) and data tables can be used up to a maximum of five of these items, none of which may exceed a quarter of an A4 page.
