Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral presentation supported by audiovisual media with the inclusion of some questions for students, to provide knowledge and to facilitate learning. |
Supervised projects |
Methodology is designed to promote autonomous learning of students in different environments (academic or more professional environment) under the guidance of a teacher. It refers mainly to learning "how to do things." In this option, students must assume the responsibility for their own learning. |
Laboratory practice |
This methodology allows that students learn effectively doing practical activities, such as demonstrations, exercises, lab work and researches |
Objective test |
This test will consist of a written exam with multiple choice questions. |

Description |
Each student must perform autonomously a work. The teacher will guide them by individual tutoring.
The students will do three sessions of lab work where they will work concepts related to the energy efficiency in conducting polymers.

Assessment comments |
Students who accumulate more than 20% of unexcused absences are excluded from the process of continuous evaluation , so that evaluation does not correspond to the table above. For these students the evaluation will be conducted by an objective test with different types of questions (multiple, management , short answer , discrimination , completing and / or association ) and a working case study where it poses students a real situation of professional life . The rating is 50% objective and 50% test case study .

Recommendations Sustainability Environment, Person and Gender Equality: 1. The delivery of the works (supervised work / reports of practices) that are carried out in this matter will be done in the following way:
1.1. It will be delivered in virtual format and / or computer support
1.2. In the case of having to print something on paper, it will be made on recycled and double-sided paper. Drafts will not be printed, only the final version. 2. It must make a sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment. It will be encouraged that the materials that are discarded in the matter (papers, plastics) are thrown in the respective containers enabled in the streets for such purpose. 3. It will try to convey to students the importance of ethical principles related to the values ??of sustainability so that they apply not only in the classroom, but in personal and professional behaviors. 4. The gender perspective must be incorporated in this subject, so the works delivered by the students and the material prepared by the teacher must use non-sexist language. 5. It will facilitate the full integration of students who for physical, sensory, psychic or sociocultural reasons, experience difficulties to an adequate, equal and profitable access to university life. |
