Methodologies |
Description |
| Laboratory practice |
Activity that allows students to learn and consolidate the knowledge already acquired through practical sessions in the laboratory. This methodology allows exercising and evaluating the A4, B2, B3 and B5 skills.
The acquisition of the transversal competence C3 will also be taken into account in these sessions. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Master sessions will be held on the contents of the agenda, normally as a starting point for the rest of the planned activities. These contents will be focused on the A4 and the A6 competition. The sessions will be focused in such a way as to promote the acquisition of transversal and core competencies of the subject. |
| Objective test |
At the end of the semester there will be an exam that will evaluate the contents of the subject. The test will place particular emphasis on the A5, A6 and B5 skills |
| Problem solving |
Problems will be proposed to the students to solve as personal work. Solutions will be discussed in problem classes. This methodology allows exercising the A4, A6, B2 and B3 skills.
The acquisition of the transversal competence C3 will also be taken into account in these sessions. |

Assessment comments |
- In the first opportunity, in order to pass the course, it will be necessary to take the final exam and have a total grade (practicals plus exam) equal or higher than 50% of the maximum grade.
- In the second opportunity the grade of the exam will be 100% of the total, that is, the whole syllabus will be evaluated including 30% of the practices. In order to pass the course, the final grade (exam plus practicals) must be equal or higher than 50% of the maximum grade.
- For students who take the advanced opportunity in December, the grade of the exam will be 100% of the total, that is, the entire syllabus will be evaluated including 30% of practices.
- Students with part-time enrollment may choose the internship group that best fits their schedules, allowing them group mobility throughout the course. Those who have been granted academic dispensation are exempted from class attendance, they will only have to take the internship tests corresponding to the continuous evaluation.
- Failure qualification in the call in which the fault is committed and respecting the subject in which it was committed: the student will be qualified with "suspenso" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the commission of the fault occurs in the first opportunity or in the second one. For this, the student's grade will be modified in the record of the first opportunity, if necessary.
