Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Classroom theory classes. In these classes, the fundamental contents of the subject will be explained. They consist of exposition of objectives, motivation, conceptual development, utility and summary.
|
Laboratory practice |
In laboratory classes, the concepts, techniques and tools needed to acquire the proposed skills are presented. In these practical sessions, students will do exercises that will lead them to develop their operative skills.
|
Mixed objective/subjective test |
It is a final exam that will contain both questions related to theoretical issues and problems to solve. |
Personalized attention |
Methodologies
|
Laboratory practice |
|
Description |
There can be significant differences between students in terms of their knowledge of the specific contents of the subject, so personalised attention will be developed both in practical and theoretical classes.
During the lessons, the students will be able to present questions, doubts, etc. The teacher, in response to these requests, will review concepts, solve new problems, or use any activity he or she considers appropriate to resolve the questions raised.
For the office hours, initially set up as a "non-attendance" mode by the centre, students of each particular group will be asked to make an appointment with the teachers responsible for their group, to make video calls by Teams within the tutorial hours established in espazos.udc.es |

Qualification
|
Mixed objective/subjective test |
A4 A5 B3 C7 |
Both in the FIRST OPPORTUNITY and in the SECOND OPPORTUNITY it will be MANDATORY to pass a written test that will make up 60% of the final overall grade.
To pass this mixed test, students have to get at least 2.4 points out of 6 (i.e. 40% of the maximum mark of the Mixed Test).
- Maximum grade: 6.0 points
- Minimum grade: 2.4 (out of 6.0) |

Students will have to do several practical exercises that will be rated.
- Maximum grade: 4.0 points
- Minimum grade: not required |

Assessment comments |
Students must obtain at least 5 points (out of 10) after summing their grades corresponding to the mixed test plus the laboratory-practice grade. Students must obtain at least 40% of the maximum grade in the mixed test (final exam). Otherwise, they would not pass the subject even if the final grade (considering both practice and mixed tests) were >=5. In such case, the maximum final grade would be set to 4.9, and consequently, the subject will be considered as "NON-PASSED". - First opportunity: - Mixed test: [60%]: Mandatory: Students must do a final exam that will include the contents of each block/part of the subject.
- Laboratory-practice: [40%]: Optional: Students who did not perform any (one or more) of the evaluable tests corresponding to the "laboratory practice" part from September to January, (for example, those who did not attend the class on the day of the test), will receive a "zero" grade in the corresponding test. Yet, they are allowed to attend the final test/exam (Mixed objective/subjective test) and could still pass the subject in the first opportunity.
- Second opportunity: During the second opportunity it is possible to reach 100% of the maximum grade both in the Laboratory-practice part and in the mixed test. - Mixed test: [60%]: Mandatory: The grade obtained in the first opportunity is not kept.
- Laboratory-practice: [40%]: Optional: The grades of the first opportunity are retained. However, it is possible to take an optional practice exam (along with the mixed test) to recover the maximum grade (this means discarding the “Laboratory-practice” grade achieved in the first opportunity).
Attention to part-time students: In case that: (a) they could not attend to the (scheduled) classes corresponding to their group and they miss any of the existing tests (e.g. "practical tests"), and (b) provided that they notified that issue with time enough to re-schedule their test within a different group; we will try to allow them to join a different group so that they could do the corresponding "test" in a different date.
