Assessment comments |
All the activities, tasks and work to be carried out throughout the term count towards the final mark. The practicals and the research work will be carried out throughout the term and the objective test (exam) on the official date of the first call. Both the practicals and the supervised research work will be handed in on the dates set by the lecturers; no practicals will be corrected after the deadline. The tutored work will only be corrected once after the delivery date (there will be no second correction), the student already has the instructions and guidance of the teachers in the interactive sessions and in the tutorials. In order to pass the subject, it is necessary to pass both the tutored assignments and practicals (60%) and the exam (40%). The minimum mark to pass each of the parts is a 5 (pass). The mark of the part passed will be kept for the second opportunity. In the case of failing one of the parts in the first sitting, the grade of the failed part will be kept. In order to pass the practical part at the second opportunity, the failed or unsubmitted activities and/or research work must be handed in. The deadline date and time will be the same as for the official second chance exam. In order to pass the theoretical part at the second opportunity, the objective test must be taken on the official dates. Those students with dispensation or recognition of part-time dedication should contact the teacher responsible for the subject at the beginning of the course. The practical part will be assessed by means of an individual research project (different from that of the on-site students), which will account for 60% of the mark. Instructions for its completion will be available in the Virtual Classroom of the subject. The evaluation of the theoretical part will be under the same conditions as for the face-to-face students. The evaluation conditions for students with an advanced opportunity will be the same as those established for non-attendance students: The practical part will be evaluated by means of an individual research project (different from the one for attendance students), which will account for 60% of the mark, and the evaluation of the theoretical part by means of an exam. The evaluation system for exchange students will be the same as for the rest of the students. The materials used in the sessions: presentations, audiovisuals, readings and practicals will also be made available to students in digital format through the Virtual Classroom. The assignments and practicals will be delivered in digital format through the tool provided in the Virtual Classroom, without the need to print them. Both the contents and the assessment system will follow the recommendations for reasonable adjustments proposed by the Unit for Attention to Diversity (ADI) in the case of students with functional diversity or NEAE, provided by the Coordination of the centre's PAT.

Other comments |
In this subject: 1. A sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment must be made. 2. The importance of ethical principles related to the values of sustainability in personal and professional behaviour must be taken into account. 3. Work to identify and modify sexist prejudices and attitudes, and influence the environment to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. 4. The full integration of students who, for physical, sensory, mental or socio-cultural reasons, experience difficulties in gaining suitable, equal and beneficial access to university life will be facilitated.
