Consultation of the recommended bibliography

It is very important to attend classes since the start of the course and that in the opposite case the student would lose the possibility of knowing the end of the cycle of the vine and the stage prior to leaf drop and entry into dormant period

also the availability of vine plants or plantations in an area close to the home would be very useful

EVALUATION SYSTEM
"In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the" Regulations for evaluating the academic performance of students and reviewing grades "will apply.
It is very important to consider the precise seasonality for some practices, which can make the subject not surpassable if the practice is not attended at its appropriate station and time.
