Description |
Seminar |
This activity is planned to be carried out in groups as reduced as possible, with the aim to deepen in a dynamic and argumentative way in the distinct topics. The success of this methodology depends on the active participation of the students. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
Combination of different types of questions, tests and problems, brief answer or short essay, evaluating knowledge, capacity of reasoning and critical ability. |
Oral presentation |
Oral presentation of a case taken from the case studies activity, or a similar one proposed by the lecturer. The activity includes debate on the subject that is presented. |
Multiple-choice questions |
Ao longo do cuadrimestre, a medida que se avanza na materia, vanse engadindo tests no campus virtual. O alumnado debe respostar a estos tests, que computan para a avaliación, nun tempo limitado e breve. O obxectivo e fomentar o estudo paulatino e progresivo da materia. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Lectures with audiovisual or blackboard support in which the fundamental aspects of the subject are put forward, with possibility of participation of the students. |

Oral presentation |
|
Description |
It aims to guide to the students in the understanding of the problem posed and of the possible strategies to solve it.
It will be jointly scheduled between lecturers and students, as needed. It will be carried out at lecturers' office. Will be distributed in 12 sessions of 15 min along the semester.
The students with recognition of part time dedication and exemption of assistance will have to assist to at least a personal tutory for each seminar (=8 tutories) and one out of two case studies (=4 tutories), previously scheduled in agreement with the lecturers. |

Assessment comments |
The aim is to evaluate the acquisition of knowledge, critical capacity, synthesis, comparison, elaboration, application and originality of the students. In order to make the best use of the subject, students must attend all face-to-face activities. First opportunity. In order for the case study and oral presentation activities to be taken into account, a minimum grade of 4.0/10 must be obtained 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 and extraodinary call for end of studies. The mixed test is repeated, since the activities related to the multiple-choice test (which reflects the continuity and progressiveness in the acquisition of knowledge) and the oral presentation (since it is not possible to debate it with the presence of all the students) are considered unrepeatable. Thus, in this second opportunity, the mixed test becomes worth 80% of the final grade (half for each of its parts), which is obtained by applying the established percentages and the previously established restrictions. In any of both opportunities, if a minimum grade of 4.0/10 is obtained in each of the parts of the mixed test, the subject will be considered as failed even if the final grade, calculated according to the corresponding percentages, is equal or higher than 5/10. In this case, the final grade will be 4.5/10. Honors: if there are several students with the same grade who are eligible for the MH, and the number of MH available is less than the number of students, they will be called to a written test. Students evaluated in the second opportunity will only be eligible for the MH if the number of MHs was not covered in its totality in the first opportunity. Grade of "not presented": applies to students who had participated in evaluable activities that represent less (<) 40% of the final grade. Successive academic courses. The teaching-learning process, including the evaluation, refers to one academic year and, therefore, it starts again from scratch with each new course. All aspects related to "academic dispense", "dedication to study" and "academic fraud" will be regulated by the current regulations at 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 maximum lessons, as well as to solve simultaneously the questions in exercises that will be proposed. - It is not advisable to study only by class notes. It is recommended to elaborate your own material by completing the notes. - It is strongly recommended to make use of the tutorial hours to clarify doubts and deepen our knowledge. - Green Campus Program of the Faculty of Science. 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. - Gender perspective: as it is included in the transversal competences of the degree (C4), the development of a critical, open and respectful citizenship with diversity in our society will be encouraged, emphasizing the equal rights of students without discrimination due to gender or sexual condition. Inclusive language will be used in the material and in the development of the sessions, working to identify and modify sexist prejudices and attitudes and influencing the environment to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. |
