Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
The teacher will present the fundamental contents of each of the topics. For better learning, students will have to advance the development of these sessions teaching materials suitable for your personal preparation. All students can consult the teacher any aspect of the matter in the tutorial schedule established for this purpose. He taught in large group. |
Seminar |
Sessions devoted to the resolution of problems and issues with the active participation of students. He taught in small group. |
Laboratory practice |
In the laboratory sessions students will develop experimental examples of the theoretical exposed in the classroom. Will be essential to achieving the prelaboratorios before the relevant practice (but the student can not perform such practice) as well as keep up to date lab book, according to the instructions of the teacher. This will be carried out in small group. An initial meeting will be provided in large group students to explain the content and dynamics of practices. |
Objective test |
Periodically, in the guest lecture, in the seminars and/or in the Moodle virtual classroom, short tests will be carried out to evaluate the degree of acquisition of knowledge and skills by the students and to promote continuous assessment throughout the course. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
The student will perform a joint test for verifying the degree of understanding and skills of the subject has gained. It will include questions and problems about the contents of the whole subject that will have to be solved in a reasoned way. |

Seminar |
|
Description |
Students will be invited to two 1-hour sessions of personalised attention to resolve any possible doubts and to provide guidance on the contents of the course.
Students may also request tutorials with the teaching staff, who will resolve any doubts they may have and guide them through the study of the subject.
Those students who take advantage of the "recognition of part-time dedication and academic waiver of attendance exemption" regimen according to the regulations of the UDC, will have specific attention, at their own request and at a time to be agreed, of tutorial help for orientation and Resolution of doubts about the contents of the subject.
The student in this situation must speak with the responsible Professor in the first week of the course to replace the face-to-face regimen with other qualifying activities. |

Assessment comments |
-To pass the subject you must: 1) Perform the laboratory practices. 2) Obtain a higher or equal to 5 points rating (out of 10) in the laboratory practices and in each part of the mixed test. If the total sum value was
equal to or greater than 5 (out of 10) but this threshold mark was not met, the
final mark will be 4.5 (fail). -In the first and second time, students who do practices and obtain less than 5, have the opportunity to, in addition to the mixed test, perform a specific test related to the labs. The score of this test especcífica replaced the grade obtained in practice for the overall rating. -Students who do not participate in the seminars activities and do not realize the objetive tests will score 0 in these sections (10% and 10%, respectively, of the overall grade). In the second opportunity, these grades will be maintained for the overall rating.
-
The student will obtain the qualification of No Presented when the
student does not assist to the laboratory practice and neither attend to
the mixed test. As regards the successive academic years, the teaching-learning process, including continuous assessment, refers to an academic course and, therefore, would comezar a new course, including all activities and procedures the Assessment that is scheduled for that course.
- Second Opportunity: The mixed test's mark obtained in the second opportunity will replace the first one's. The students tested on the second occasion shall be eligible for honors if the maximum number of these to the corresponding course not covered in full at the first opportunity.
In the case of exceptional, objective and adequately justified circumstances,
the Responsible Teacher may exempt totally or partially a member of the
student body from attending the continuous evaluation process. Students
who are in this circumstance must pass a specific exam that leaves no
doubt about the achievement of the competences of the subject. Students with recognition of dedication and part-time academic exemption waiver assistance: Conducting laboratory practices are mandatory and it will be provided within the flexibility to allow coordinating schedules and material and human resources. They shall be deemed exempt from the keynote sessions while assistance will be provided to the greatest number of seminars. If they can not attend the seminars will make a mentored work.Students in part-time study regime due to work or duly justified will have to talk to the Responsible Professor in the first week of the course to substitute the face-to-face regime with other type of gradable activities. These activities will be indicated in an individual work plan that will be given to the student. In the evaluation of the subject, all that is established in article
14, regarding the Fraud Commission and disciplinary responsibilities, of
the UDC's Rules for the Evaluation of Bachelor's Degrees and Master's Degrees will
be applied: "The fraudulent performance of the evaluation tests or activities, once verified, will directly imply the grade of "0" in the subject in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all evaluation activities in view of the extraordinary call."

Other comments |
To successfully overcome the matter, it is imperative that students have a number of prior knowledge of chemistry and mathematics, according to the level required in middle and high school, including: nomenclature and chemical formula, set of chemical reactions , stoichiometric calculations, acid-base character identification of common compounds, obtaining oxidation states of the elements in the chemical species, management of logarithms, exponents, etc. GREEN CAMPUS PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION: in order to help
achieve an immediate sustainable environment and comply with point 6 of
the "Environmental Declaration of the Faculty of Science (2020)", the
documentary works requested in this subject: (a) Will be requested mostly in virtual format and computer support. (b)
If paper is used: -No plastics will be used -Double-sided printing will
be used -Recycled paper will be used -The use of drafts will be
avoided. |
