Methodologies |
Description |
| Seminar |
Seminars clarify and extend some aspects covered in lectures and laboratory practice, especially related to the practical application of the studied methodologies. Students participate and discuss possible strategies to solve industrial and environmental problems under the teacher guidance |
| Supervised projects |
Supervised projects will include finding information from different sources, presentation and oral defense of a topic proposed by the teacher related to any environmental, industrial, etc problem |
| Mixed objective/subjective test |
A final exam will be done to assess the degree of learning both the theoretical and practica |
| Laboratory practice |
In the lab sessions the student will perform the application of theoretical concepts studied throughout the course and will also it will contact advanced technical and analytical instrumentation. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Teacher explains the fundamental concepts and the most important contents of each subject. It also proposes different issues that should be discussed and resolved by the students, encouraging participation |
| Personalized attention |

| Description |
Throughout the course the teacher resolves any doubts on the subject that the student needs.
In seminars and supervised projects, the teacher supervises the methodology used to solve the proposed problems, solves the student´s doubts and guides the learning process.
Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic assistance waiver regime will be treated in tutoring (by appointment)

Assessment comments |
To pass the subject, students must regulary attendance at all evaluable activities and to attain a minimum cualification in each of them. The student will obtain the qualification of No Presented they do not perform the mentored work and not present the final exam. The scores for the activities will remain in the July, except for the mixed test which shall be repeated in case of being suspended.
The
following academic courses, the teaching-learning process, including
all evaluable activities, return to start a new course.
For
students with a part-time dedication and academic assistance waiver regime, in the event that they can not perform all activities or continuous assessment test, the teacher will
take appropriate action to avoid prejudicing their qualification. |

| Other comments |
|
Students
must review the theoretical concepts introduced in different topics
using the recommended bibliography. Those
students who encounter significant difficulties in working the
proposed activities must go in the tutorial hours of teachers, in order
to be able to analyze the problem and try to solve those difficulties. |
