General description Esta materia encádrase dentro das materias básicas que se imparten no primeiro curso do plan de estudos conducente ao título de graduado en Paisaxe. A materia que conforma esta materia está dividida en dous bloques: Estatística e Cálculo. A parte de Estatística impartirase na Escola Politécnica Superior de Lugo, polo departamento de Estatística, Análise Matemática e Optimización da Universidade de Santiago de Compostela. A docencia da parte de Cálculo realizarase na Escola Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, polo departamento de Matemáticas da Universidade da Coruña. A docencia de ambas as partes realizarase simultaneamente e ao longo de todo o segundo cuadrimestre. O obxectivo desta materia é ofrecer os coñecementos básicos de Matemáticas que se consideran imprescindibles para que todo estudante sexa capaz de resolver problemas matemáticos que poidan aparecer en cursos posteriores, ou no seu futuro profesional.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Introductory activities In the first class of the course there will be a presentation of the contents, skills and objectives to be achieved with this subject. A brief test may be carried out in order to know the competences that the student possesses.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation complemented by the use of audiovisual media, in which the teacher will present the different topics of the subject, as well as the problems that the student must learn to solve. Throughout it, the student will be able to intervene by asking questions that facilitate her instruction and the teacher will ask questions addressed to the students in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning.
Problem solving As the subject develops, the teacher will propose assignments and/or deliver problem sets that the students must solve. Problem sets are not tests. Its resolution will begin in the classroom, where the students, in small groups, will discuss where their difficulty lies and how their resolution can be faced. The student will finish carrying them out independently and will be able to check if they have done them correctly, in the classroom or on the USC Virtual Campus.
Objective test Theoretical-practical exam of the subject taught.

Assessment comments
First opportunity:

The evaluation of the students in the first opportunity will be based on the following sections:

Final exam. It will consist of two theoretical-practical tests, corresponding to the subject of each block: Statistics and Calculus.
To pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain an average grade, between the two blocks, greater than or equal to 5, and not have a grade lower than 4 in any of them. Students who do not meet any of these requirements will have a fail grade on the first opportunity (the numerical grade will be the minimum between 4.5 and the average of the grades obtained in each block).

Evaluation of the continuous follow-up of the matter. The interest and active participation of the student will be valued, both in the expositive and interactive classes, the completion of the work and problems raised, as well as its delivery on time.

The final exam has a weight of 90% and the continuous evaluation has a weight of 10% in the course grade.

Observation of the evaluation of the calculus block: To evaluate the follow-up of the calculus block, two tests will be carried out throughout the semester. The first test will correspond to the subject taught in Topic 4, and the second to the subject taught in Topics 5 and 6. If the grades obtained in these tests are not less than 3, the average grade between the two is considered, with a weighting of 90%, to which would be added the evaluation of the continuous follow-up of the matter, with a weighting of 10%; If the total result is greater than or equal to 5, then the student may choose not to take the final exam, in which case the grade obtained by continuous assessment and partial exams will represent 100% of the final grade for the Calculus block.

Observation of the evaluation of the statistics block: To evaluate the monitoring of the statistics block, two tests will be carried out throughout the semester. The first test will correspond to the matter taught in Theme 1, and the second to the matter taught in Themes 2 and 3. If the grades obtained in these tests are not less than 3, the average grade between the two is considered, with a weighting of 90%, to which would be added the evaluation of the continuous follow-up of the matter, with a weighting of 10%; If the total result is greater than or equal to 5, then the student may choose not to take the final exam, in which case the grade obtained by continuous assessment and partial exams will represent 100% of the final grade for the Statistics block.

Second opportunity (July):

The evaluation of second chance students will be based on the following sections:

- Final exam: It will consist of two theoretical-practical tests, corresponding to the subject of each block: Calculus and Statistics.

  Those students who have passed one of the blocks in the first opportunity, may choose not to take the exam in that block, since the grade obtained in the first opportunity is saved.

- Evaluation of the continuous follow-up of the subject, equal to that established for the first opportunity.

The final exam has a weight of 90% and the continuous evaluation has a weight of 10% in the course grade.

  To pass the subject on the second chance, it will be necessary to obtain an average grade, between the two blocks, greater than or equal to 5, and not have a grade lower than 4 in any of them. Students who do not meet any of these requirements will have a fail grade on the second chance (the numerical grade will be the minimum between 4.5 and the average of the grades obtained in each block).


Both opportunities: 

1) The students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance (which they must communicate to one of the teachers of the subject), will be evaluated, both in the first and on a second opportunity, only for the grade obtained in the final exam. Like the rest of the students, to pass the subject, they will have to have an average grade between the two blocks of the exam, greater than or equal to 5, and not have a grade lower than 4 in any of them.

2) There are no differentiated evaluation criteria for repeating students.

3) Indication referring to plagiarism and improper use of technologies in carrying out tasks or tests: For cases of fraudulent carrying out of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for evaluating the academic performance of students" will apply. students and the review of grades" of the USC and in the "Rules for evaluation, review and claim of the grades of Bachelor's and Master's degree studies" of the UDC.

The fraudulent completion of the tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the grade of failing "0" in the subject in the corresponding call, invalidating any grade obtained in the tests and/or evaluation activities, as established in the academic regulations at the UDC.
