Students will be assessed according to thefollowing contributions.

C1 Mixed text. (Students must attain aminimum of the 45% of the maximum mark to pass the subject)

C2 Laboratory practice. (Students mustattain a minimum of the 45% of the maximum mark to pass the subject. Attendanceto laboratory classes is mandatory)

C3 Keynote speech + problem solving +short test.

C4 Student progression.

In order to pass the subject, studentshave to attain a minimum mark of 5 points corresponding to the formula:

0,6(C1) + 0,25(C2) + 0,15(C3).

The contribution C4 “Student progression”will be added to the overall mark only if the sum C1 + C2+ C3 is 5 or higher.(In any case, the maximum overall mark will be 10 points)

Participation in “extra activities” willincrease the final mark.

The student must attain a minimum of the45% of the maximum mark in contributions C1 and C2. If the overall mark is 5points or higher but C1 and C2 do not reach the 45% threshold, the final markwill be 4.5 points.

In order to get the “no presentado” markstudents cannot attend to the laboratory classes

In the “second opportunity” the formula 0,85(C1)+ 0,15(C2) will be used to calculate the overall mark, complying with the aforementionedminimum thresholds.

The mark “matricula de honor” will begranted preferably to the students that have passed the subject in the firstopportunity.

Attendance to laboratory practice classesis mandatory for part-time students (according to the UDC regulations). Forthose students, the contribution to the final marks is as follows: 85% of thefinal marks corresponds to the mixed text and the remaining 15% corresponds tothe laboratory practice. The marking system (percentages) will be the same forboth opportunities. The condition of “no persentado” will be granted to thosepart-time students who do not take the mixed text.

Any case of
fraud during exams, tests, assays or any other assessed activity will result
in the imposition of sanctions as outlined in the regulations “Law
3/2022, de 24 de febrero, de convivencia universitaria y el reglamento disciplinar del estudiantado
de la UDC."”

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Lectures dedicated to introducing the most relevant contents of the course. Active participation of students are encouraged as an important part of the lectures methodology. Prior to each lecture students are supposed to have read the suggested readings related to the topics of the lecture. If necessary, the students are expected to prepare by themselves part of the course contents in the student’s personal work hours. Under previously stablished conditions students might also be asked to solve practical cases outside of the classroom.
Problem solving	Classes given in small groups of students, which must participate actively. Problem-solving classes are dedicated to solving the doubts arisen during lectures and the preparatory readings. They are also dedicated to the resolution of problems and questions previously given to the students or to the intensive study of a particular topic through the active discussion methodology. If necessary, practical cases may also be solved under previously stablished conditions.
Laboratory practice	Laboratory classes which are dedicated to the synthesis, isolation and characterization of organometallic compounds. Prior to the lab class, the student studies the theoretical and synthetic aspects of each laboratory experiment using the recommended bibliographic sources. Before starting the laboratory work, the student has to show, in a personal tutorial with the professor, that has reached the necessary level of knowledge and skills necessary to understand and carry out the experiment safely. During the laboratory work, the student must work carefully paying special attention to the safety rules and showing the rigor and efficiency characteristic of the scientific method. The preparatory work, the experimental description (laboratory diary) and the conclusions drawn must be recorded in the laboratory notebook, which must be given to the professor before the deadline.
Mixed objective/subjective test	The mixed test is a written exam, which consists of essay-type questions in which the student must find the answer to a more or less complex problem, which may be of logic or numeric nature. It may also contain objective test questions.

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practice	A7 A8 B8 B9 C1	During the pre-lab tutorial, the professor assess the rigorous preparation of the theoretical and experimental parts of the laboratory experiment which concerns both the synthetic and the characterization methodology. The professor also assesses the laboratory work, particularly: the organization, safety work, knowledge of the material and technical procedures, the manual skill and, especially, the ability to find relationships between the experimental procedure carried out and the theoretical background acquired during the previous work. The laboratory notebook will also be marked. It consists of four parts: preparatory work, exact description of laboratory work (laboratory diary), characterization of the products synthesized and results and conclusions drawn from the experiment.	15
Problem solving	A2 A3 A7 B1 B2 B3 B7 B8 B9 C1 C3	During the problem-solving classes, the professor assesses the active participation of students as well as their reasoning and oratory skills. If necessary, the students might take a brief test consisting of short answers or multiple election questions, during the lecture hours. The solution and presentation of a study case may also contribute to the assessment procedure. The marks corresponding to these activities will be added to the “lecture” marks.	25
Guest lecture / keynote speech	A1 A2 A3 B1 B6 B8 B9 C1 C2 C3	During lectures, the professor assesses the active participation of students as well as their reasoning and oratory skills.
