General description
To know the soil quality indicators in order to identify contaminated and degraded soils and their recovery processes
Contingency plan
1. Modifications to the contents
No changes will be made
2. Methodologies
*Teaching methodologies that are maintained
- Guest lecture / keynote speech. The professor communicates the basic concepts and the most important contents of each topic. In addition, questions that the students should discuss and solve will be suggested in order to foster the involvement of the students in the course. Moodle and / or Teams platforms will be used.
- Case study (computed in the evaluation). Moodle and / or Teams platforms will be used.
- Objective test. Moodle and / or Teams will be used.
- Personalized attention
*Teaching methodologies that are modified
- Laboratory practices and field trip will be replaced by "supervised work". Moodle and Teams tools will be used.
- Oral presentation. This activity is canceled and the weight of the other activities will be modified (as specified in the evaluation section).
3. Mechanisms for personalized attention to students
Tools: Email, Moodle, Teams.
Personalized attention will be performed according to the needs of the students.
4. Modifications in the evaluation
- Delivery of " supervised work" (50%). A written work will be delivered. The depth of the contents, the order in the presentation of contents, the use of terminology specific to the subject and the documentary sources used will be assessed. With the written work an audiovisual presentation will be delivered (video, powerpoint with audio) in which the quality of the selected content, the clarity of the presentation and the adequacy of the duration of the presentation to the indicated time will be evaluated.
- Case study (10%). A real case related to soil quality will be proposed to the student, who needs to evaluate it and suggest solutions in an environmental report.
- Objective test (40%). The evaluation of the course contents and the acquisition of the competences defined for the course will be evaluated in a final test, which will include theoretical questions and applied problems. Moodle and/or Teams platforms will be used. Moodle and / or Teams tools on the date and time that is officially established will be used.
*Evaluation observations:
It is necessary to obtain a minimum global mark of 5 over 10 in order to successfully pass the course.
Situations:
1) Full time students.
First opportunity: the final grade will be calculated as the sum of the marks obtained in each of the activities (supervised work, case study, mixed test). Those students that fail to appear in the mixed test activity will be qualified as NOT PRESENTED.
Second opportunity: the final grade will be the grade obtained in the mixed test, which will evaluate all the contents of the course. The maximum possible mark in this mixed test will be 10.
2) Part-time students and students with presenciality exemptions.
Their final grade will be calculated from the marks of two activities in both the first and second opportunities. Those activities are:
A project including a summary of each of the topics of the course and the answers to a questionnaire proposed by the professor (50%)
A supervised project that needs to be presented using audiovisual tools (50%).
Honors will be awarded to those students that reach the marks necessary for this mention in the evaluation of the first opportunity.
5. Modifications to the bibliography or webgraphy
There will not be any modification
