Description |
Laboratory practice |
Experimental projects will be carried out directly related to the subject treated in different thematic blocks, and that complement it. The planning of the experiments, the obtaining of experimental results, their discussion, and their writing and presentation will be approached, following the different steps of the scientific method. |
Seminar |
This activity is designed to be carried out in groups as small as possible, with the aim of deepening in a dynamic and argumentative way different topics. Its success depends on the active participation of the students. Cases, problems, and questions related to the subject matter of the different thematic blocks will be addressed. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
Combination of different types of questions: test and problem type, short answer or essay type, evaluating knowledge, reasoning capacity and critical spirit. It will be divided into two parts, a test and a development of problems and/or cases. Both will have the same value: 50% of the mixed test. |
Directed discussion |
This activity is designed to be carried out in groups as small as possible, with the aim of deepening in a dynamic and argumentative way different topics. Its success depends on the active participation of the students. Experimental data related to cases related to the subject will be discussed in small groups. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Exposición con apoyo audiovisual o de pizarra en la que se exponen aspectos fundamentales de la asignatura, con posibilidad de participación del alumnado. Se contempla la participación, para un número reducido de horas, de profesorado colaborador especialista en la materia. |

Description |
The aim is to guide the students in the understanding of the subject and in the resolution of the problems that may arise during the study, as well as in the possible strategies to solve them.
Its development will be fixed jointly between teachers and students according to their needs. It will be carried out in the teachers' offices. It will be distributed in a maximum of 12 sessions of 15 minutes during the four-month period.
Students with a part-time admission and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance must attend at least one personal tutorial for each seminar (=8 tutorials) and one for each two case studies (=4 tutorials), in a schedule previously agreed with the teachers, which could be complemented with asynchronous tutorials for the rest of the subject.

Assessment comments |
The aim is to evaluate the acquisition of knowledge, critical capacity, synthesis, comparison, elaboration, application and originality of the students. For a suitable use of the subject, the students must attend all the activities present. The realization of the practices is a basic criterion to pass the subject. Without doing the practicals, it will not be possible to pass the course, independently of the weight of the practicals in the evaluation. * First opportunity. In order to take into account the activities of case studies and oral presentation, it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4.0/10 in each of the two parts of the mixed test. The final grade is obtained by applying the established percentages and the previously established restrictions. * Second opportunity. The parts of the mixed exam that have not been passed may be repeated, and the activity established as equivalent to the directed discussion may be handed in in writing. The activities related to the work developed in the seminars will be considered unrepeatable. The final qualification will be obtained by applying the established percentages and the previously established restrictions. In any of both opportunities, if a minimum qualification of 4.0/10 is not achieved in each of the parts of the mixed test, the subject will be considered as failed even if the final qualification, calculated according to the corresponding percentages, is equal or higher than 5/10. In this case, the final grade will be 4.5/10. Honours: if there are several students with the same qualification who can opt for the MH, and the number of MH available is less than the number of students, they will be called to a written test. The students who were evaluated in the second opportunity will only be able to opt for the MH if the number of MHs was not covered in its totality in the first opportunity. "Not presented" qualification: applies to students who participate in activities that represent less than (<) 40% of the final qualification. Successive academic years. The teaching-learning process, including evaluation, refers to one academic year and, therefore, starts again from zero with each new course. Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance may take the mixed test, as long as the professors are duly informed at the beginning of the course. Without detriment to the above, the professors may ask these students to carry out different works/problems during the course to be presented during tutorial hours. During the realization of the practical test, in any of both opportunities, unless otherwise indicated, it is forbidden to use any device with Internet access. If during the realization of the practical test, there are indications of unauthorized use of these devices, @ student will be expelled from the classroom, and will proceed according to Law 3/2022, of February 24, of university coexistence and the disciplinary regulation of the student of the UDC. The fraudulent realization of the tests and/or activities will directly imply the qualification of failure ("0") in the subject in the corresponding call, invalidating any qualification obtained in all the activities for the next opportunity, if any, within the same academic year. It is considered fraudulent to carry out the activities, proposed to be completed in person in the classroom, which are done from outside the classroom, according to Law 3/2022, of February 24, of university coexistence and the disciplinary regulation of the student of the UDC. Use of this subject as a training complement for doctoral studies: the qualification will be "pass" or "fail".

Other comments |
- It is recommended to review assiduously the theoretical concepts introduced in the lectures, as well as to solve simultaneously the questions and exercises that will be proposed. - It is not advisable to study only through the class notes. It is advisable to elaborate your own materials by completing the notes. - It is strongly recommended to make use of the tutorial hours to clarify doubts and deepen the knowledge. - Green Campus Program of the Faculty of Sciences. To help achieve an immediate sustainable environment and comply with point 6 of the "Environmental Declaration of the Faculty of Science (2020)", the work of this subject will be requested in virtual format and computer support. - Perspective of gender: such and as if it collects in the transversal competitions of the title (C4), will promote the development of a critical citizenship, opened and respectful with the diversity in the our society, highlighting the equality of rights of the students without discrimination by question of gender or sexual condition. It Will employ a language inclusiva in the material and in the development of the sessions.It Will work to identify and modify prexuizos and attitudes sexistas and will influence in the surroundings to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. |
