| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Introductory activities | The first day of the course we will give to each student the program of this Subject, the metodology we will follow, the evaluation criteria, and also a detailled calendar with all activities. |
| Document analysis | We will probide to students the necessary bibliographical data, both for problems, theory and assisted jobs. Thus, they could revise and increase the aspects explained in the classroom. The individual tutorials will help also in those aspects. |
| Laboratory practice | Along the six Laboratory sessions students will work in couples, doing five complete practices. A guide for each practice will be given to teh student, and they will have all necessary material to mount and do them. All time students will be assisted by its teacher to resolve all doubts and help if necessary. At the end of practice time, each couple will present a memory including the job performed and the obtained results. Prior to the Laboratory sessions there will be a room session to explain the basis of experimental uncertainties and graphical representations. |
| Problem solving | After the theoretical exposition of each lesson, there will be Seminars (with a reduced number of students) to resolve problems to apply the theory studied. The proposed problems for each lesson will be given to the students before each of those sessions as bulletins. There we will include the numerical solution of each problem, to allow students evaluate themselves after doing them individually. Those bulletins will be of two different types: some of them General (the same for all students of the three groups), and other complementary bulletins specific for each reduced group. Not all problems will be completely resolved in the Seminars, but only those more difficult. |
| Objective test | There will be two written exams about the theory and numerical problems saw in classroom. The first one at the middle of the course and the second one at the end. The students that pass each of those exams will have that part of the subject passed for the Final exams of June (and Jully). |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | The basic content of the different parts of the Subject will be explained by the teacher in this sessions, trying to involve students in the learning process. At the end of each session will be in the Moodle the material used that day to facilitate pupils its study. |
| Supervised projects | Voluntarily the students can do complementary work. That will be do in pairs of students and will be focused in applications of Physics to Biology, including notions of electricity, optics and modern physics. |

| Assessment | ||
| Methodologies | Description | Qualification |
| Laboratory practice | The total calification of Laboratory will be the 15 % of the final calification. This will have three different parts: - A 5% will correspond with the Laboratory note book given to the teacher with the five practices made. - Other 5% will represent the evaluation of the practice made the sixth day of Laboratory. - The last 5% will come from the evaluation of a test exam that all students must do with the official exams in June or July. The attendance to the session previous to Laboratory is mandatory to be evaluated. The laboratory calification will be pass if you obtain a minimum of 0.7 pts (on 1.5 pts). |
15 |
| Problem solving | The attendance and participation in the Seminars will represent a 5% of the final calification. | 5 |
| Objective test | The theoretical exams made along the course will count a 21 % to the final calification, while the problems exam will be a 49 % of that. The addition of both califications (theory and problems) must be 4/10 points minimum to pass the subject. |
70 |
| Supervised projects | The voluntary job calification will count a 10% of the global one. | 10 |
| Assessment comments | ||
|
The NP (non presented) calification will be given to those estudents that do not finish Laboratory and they have not attend to the different tests. In the July opportunity will be saved the califications of Laboratory, Voluntary job and Seminars of problems. Remember that Laboratory job calification (including if it were less than 0.7/1.5) is mandatory to pass the subject. |
