Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Laboratory practice A7 A8 B8 B9 C1 During the pre-lab tutorial, the professor assess the rigorous preparation of the theoretical and experimental parts of the laboratory experiment which concerns both the synthetic and the characterization methodology.
The professor also assesses the laboratory work, particularly: the organization, safety work, knowledge of the material and technical procedures, the manual skill and, especially, the ability to find relationships between the experimental procedure carried out and the theoretical background acquired during the previous work.
The laboratory notebook will also be marked. It consists of four parts: preparatory work, exact description of laboratory work (laboratory diary), characterization of the products synthesized and results and conclusions drawn from the experiment. 		15
Problem solving A2 A3 A7 B1 B2 B3 B7 B8 B9 C1 C3 During the problem-solving classes, the professor assesses the active participation of students as well as their reasoning and oratory skills. If necessary, the students might take a brief test consisting of short answers or multiple election questions, during the lecture hours. The solution and presentation of a study case may also contribute to the assessment procedure. The marks corresponding to these activities will be added to the “lecture” marks. 15

Assessment comments

Students will be assessed according to the
following contributions.

C1 Mixed text. (Students must attain a
minimum of the 45% of the maximum mark to pass the subject)

C2 Laboratory practice. (Students must
attain a minimum of the 45% of the maximum mark to pass the subject. Attendance
to laboratory classes is mandatory)

C3 Keynote speech + problem solving +
short test.

C4 Student progression.

In order to pass the subject, students
have to attain a minimum mark of 5 points corresponding to the formula:

0,7(C1) + 0,15(C2) + 0,15(C3).

The contribution C4 “Student progression” will
be added to the overall mark only if the sum C1 + C2+ C3 is 5 or higher. (In
any case, the maximum overall mark will be 10 points)

Participation in “extra activities” will
increase the final mark.

If the overall mark is lower than 0,80(C1)
+ 0,20(C2) the mark will be replaced by the result of such addition.

The student must attain a minimum of the
45% of the maximum mark in contributions C1 and C2. If the overall mark is 5
points or higher but C1 and C2 do not reach the 45% threshold, the final mark
will be 4.5 points.

In order to get the “no presentado” mark
students cannot attend to the laboratory classes

In the “second opportunity”, students will
repeat only of the mixed test. The remaining contributions to the overall mark
minimum thresholds and calculation formula will be the same.

The mark “matricula de honor” will be
granted preferably to the students that have passed the subject in the first
opportunity.





























Attendance to
laboratory practice classes is mandatory for part-time students (according to
the UDC regulations). For those students, the contribution to the final marks
is as follows: 80% of the final marks corresponds to the mixed text and the
remaining 20% corresponds to the laboratory practice. The marking system
(percentages) will be the same for both opportunities. The condition of “no
persentado” will be granted to those part-time students who do not take the
mixed text.
