Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Presentation given by the professor, on a schematic basis, focusing on the main topics, covering both theoretical and practical issues. |
Laboratory practice |
Performance of practical activities such as demonstrations, exercises, experiments, research, etc.. |
Supervised projects |
Activities whose purpose is that the students enlarge the study of ther topics pesented in each theme and consolidate their acquired knowledge and capabilities. These activities should aslo help the students learn and improve their capabilities in literature survey. |
Objective test |
Exam that will help to evaluate the knowledge and competencies acquired by the students. |

Assessment comments |
Students with an academic exemption: They will have to do the mixed test and present a previously agreed work with the professors of the subject. The assessment will be 50% the objective test and 50% the supervised work. The objective test may include questions related to the contents addressed in any of the sessions, whether theoretical, practical or during the debates that occur in the presentations of works.
To pass the subject, a minimum score of 4 (on a scale of 0 to 10) in the objective test is required. The evaluation criteria of the 2nd opportunity are the same as those of the 1st opportunity. If the student did not carry out the laboratory practices, nor did he solve the problems raised, the mixed test will include questions related to these aspects, increasing the assessment of this methodology. The student must present a work previously agreed with the professors of the subject. The evaluation criteria for the extraordinary call are the same as those for the 1st opportunity. If the student did not carry out the laboratory practices, nor did he solve the problems raised, the mixed test may include additional questions related to these aspects, increasing the assessment of this methodology. The student must present a work previously agreed with the professors of the subject. The fraudulent completion of exams or evaluation activities, once confirmed, will directly result in a failing grade in the session in which it occurs: the student will be awarded a 'fail' (numerical grade of 0) in the corresponding academic year session, whether the offense is committed during the first opportunity or the second. To this end, their grade will be modified in the first opportunity transcript, if necessary.

Other comments |
To help achieve a sustained immediate environment and meet the objective of action number 5: "Healthy and sustainable environmental and social teaching and research" of the "Green Campus Ferrol Action Plan":
The delivery of the documentary work carried out in this subject: - They will be requested in virtual format and/or computer support
- It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them.
- If it is necessary to make them on paper:
- Plastics shall not be used
- Double-sided printing shall be carried out.
- Recycled paper will be used
- Printing of drafts shall be avoided.
A sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment must be made.
