Description |
| Seminar |
Seven interactive sessions will be held, in which students should actively participate in the analysis and resolution of the problems raised by the teacher. The questionnaires of exercises to be solved will be available on the subject's web (moodle) prior to the delivery of the classes. Students should work on the analysis and resolution of problems prior to the delivery of the seminar classes. |
| Workshop |
Interactive student problem-solving sessions |
| Case study |
Presentation and development of concrete aspects of the contents explained by the teacher, in the form of specific works on specific aspects.
Resolution and commentary on written tests. |
| Objective test |
Objective written test of student achievement |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
12 lectures are scheduled, in which the teacher will develop the main contents of the program through theoretical explanations, problem solving and practical examples. The content scripts and / or presentations to be developed will be available on the subject's web (moodle) prior to the presentation of the lessons. Based on these materials or on various resources (bibliographies, on the internet ...) students should prepare the lessons in advance to their delivery. The participation of the students will be encouraged, through the elaboration of questions or emails addressed to the professors before, during or after the lesson. |

| Description |
The students will have personalized attention in the teacher's tutoring schedule to clarify the fundamental concepts of the subject in the large groups, the resolution of individual questions presented in the seminars and in the master sessions.
In addition, the student can receive personalized attention on any aspect of the subject during the teacher's tutoring schedule.
In exceptional, objectivables and properly justified circumstances, the professor may fully or partly exempt any member of the student body to attend the ongoing evaluation process. Students that is in this circumstance must pass a specific test that leaves no doubt about achieving the powers of matter on two occasions. |

Assessment comments |
Evaluation by means of an objective test will contribute to 60% of the final qualification. Attendance
control and continuous assessment (of the work done in the master
sessions, seminars and oral presentations and through the evaluation of
the written solutions of the problem bulletins) will contribute to 30%
of the final qualification. To
obtain APTO qualification it will be necessary to (1) achieve 30% of
the partial qualification scores and (2) achieve 50% of the overall
score. Students
who do not participate in activities that add more than 25% of the
final qualification will be qualified as NOT PRESENTED. Students who perform more than 25% of the face-to-face activities and
after taking the objective tests do not reach 40% of the score in the
same or 50% of the overall score will receive the qualification of NOT
SUITABLE. In
accordance with the recommendation of the Quality Commission of the
Faculty of Sciences, Honors will be awarded to students who reach the
highest marks at the first opportunity. The students evaluated in the second opportunity will only be eligible
for Honorary Matriculation if the maximum number of these for the
corresponding course was not fully covered at the first opportunity. In
the case of students with recognition of part-time decision-making and
academic exemption from attendance exemption, the Responsible Professor
may totally or partially exempt from attending the continuous evaluation
process. The
student who is in this circumstance must pass a specific examination
that leaves no doubt about the achievement of the competences of the
subject in the two opportunities. |
