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. |
Laboratory practice |
This methodology allows that students learn effectively doing practical activities, such as demonstrations, exercises, virtual lab work and researches |
Multiple-choice questions |
After each class session, students will be able to take an online test on the subject they have seen, through the Moodle platform. |
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. The teachers will propose several topics to choose from for the supervised work. Each student will prepare his/her work under the supervision of the corresponding tutor. Finally, the student will present the main aspects in front of the rest of the class with a brief oral presentation via videoconference. |

Assessment comments |
A register will be kept of students' online attendance at master classes. Students who accumulate more than 20% of unjustified absences, who have not carried out all the laboratory practices (without justified cause) or who have not submitted the supervised work are excluded from the continuous evaluation process. They will be qualified as NOT ATTEND at the first opportunity. The fraudulent realization
of the tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the
qualification of failure "0" in the subject in the corresponding
call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all the evaluation activities for
the extraordinary call. Students with recognition of partial time dedication and academic exemption from attendance, must communicate it to the teachers at the beginning of the term and justify them adequately. In this case, teachers will be given appropriate instructions to ensure that the students follow the subject without problems, by replacing the synchronous teaching methodologies with other individual works with the same score REQUIREMENTS TO PASS THE SUBJECT AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY : 1.Attend and participate regularly in class activities. 2.Submit and present the supervised work on the date indicated. 3. To do and submit all the laboratory practices on the indicated dates. 4. Obtain a minimun total score of 5 out of 10. At the second opportunity (extraordinary call), the student will have to pass an objective test or exam ( in classroom or online) that may have different types of questions (multiple choice, sorting, short answer, discrimination, completion and/or association). In addition, students will be asked to perform an additional work/laboratory practices. The rating will be 50% the objective test (exam), 50% the additional work/practices. REQUIREMENTS TO PASS THE SUBJECT AT THE SECOND OPPORTUNITY : 1.To pass the exam (minimum 50% of the maximum score) 2.To do and submit on time the additional work/practices 3. Obtain a minimun total score of 5 out of 10.

Recommendations Sustainability Environment and Gender Equality: The delivery of the documentary work (tutored work) to be carried out in this subject 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 (for example, posters, leaflets, etc...), the printing will be done on recycled paper and double-sided. No drafts shall be printed, only the final version. 2. A sustainable use of resources must be made and in order to prevent negative impacts on the natural environment, it will be encouraged that the materials that are discarded in the subject (paper, plastics), are thrown away in the respective containers provided in the centres where the subject is taught or in the street for that purpose. 3. We will try to transmit to students the importance of ethical principles related to the values of sustainability so that they apply them, not only in the classroom, but also in their personal and professional behaviour. 4. According to the different regulations applicable to university teaching, the gender perspective must be incorporated into this subject (non-sexist language will be used, bibliography of authors of both sexes will be used, the intervention of male and female students in class will be encouraged, etc.). 5.Work will be done to identify and modify sexist prejudices and attitudes, and the environment will be influenced in order to promote values of respect and equality.  6.Situations of gender discrimination will be detected and actions and measures will be proposed to correct them.  7. 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 shall be facilitated.
