General description

A materia se inscribe dentro do segundo cuadrimestre do ultimo curso do grao de química. O obxectivo da mesma é dobre, por unha banda, pretendese que o alumnado teña coñecemento de tódolos pasos que leva á elaboración dun proxecto e, por outra, procurarase que o alumnado traslade eses coñecementos ó eido da química mediante a planificación e desenvolvemento dun proxecto de química dende un punto de vista técnico-económico-social.

Methodologies

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	As sesións maxistrais impartiranse ó grupo completo. Consistirán en leccións expositivas nas que se exporá de forma ordenada o temario da materia. Ó comezo de cada tema exporase claramente o contido e obxectivos principais de dito tema. Asemesmo, ó final do tema farase un breve resumo dos contidos máis salientables. Para facilita-la labor de seguimento por parte do alumno das clases presenciais proporcionaráselle con antelación o material docente utilizado polo profesor. A exposición de cada un dos temas apoiárase en medios audiovisuais.
Mixed objective/subjective test	Os estudantes realizarán un exame con cuestións fundamentalmente teórico-prácticas que permitirá individualiza-la cualificación final.
Seminar	This methodology aims to go in deep some specific aspects of the subject treated more generally in the theory classes. For this, we will work on practical work related to project development and process units.

Personalized attention

Methodologies

Seminar

Mixed objective/subjective test

Description

In the seminars, personalized attention will be through face tutorials. Students with appreciation a part-time academic and attendance waiver of exemption may complete the work tutored in custom and / or group tutoring schedule to be agreed with the teachers. The activities undertaken in these tutorials will be similar to those of students in ordinary regime and consideration for the final assessment with 20% of the grade global.
In the seminars personalized attention will be done by face and by electronic means tutoring . At the individual level the student may submit questions concerning practical issues raised in class .

At the individual level the student may submit questions concerning practical issues raised in the class.
In supervised work , personal attention seek to resolve the difficulties posed to the students in the formulation of the project, the choice of tools and analysis of information and the results achieved, and the revision of successive work drafts of the report . In addition to the follow-up work in group tutoring sessions , there will be an individual tutoring schedule established by teachers.

Seminar	A2 A4 A6 A8 B1 B3 B4 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10 B11 B12 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5	During the week some exercices will be provided to students to solve which should be turned over to teacher before correcting in the seminar sesion. Other times, teacher will provide some exercices to students for solving in the seminar sesion. The handed exercises will be scored up 20%, proportional way, of total score.	45

Assessment comments
<p>The test will include two parts: one theorical part and other practical. The test score will add to score of the other activities.To pass the course at least 4 points will be required in the test, do and turn over project and get 5 points in the final mark.  If the minimum score is not reached and/or the project is not hand, moreover the sum of final mark is 5 points, or more, the matter appear as failing grade (4,5).  Students who don´t appear more than 20% of activities will considere like "not attend". The score of seminar and supervised project in the second opportunity will keep while the test score of the second opportunity will replace  the score of first opportunity test. Students in second opportunity cannot reach maximum score if was reached in first opportunity. The next course will begin like new one course in all activities.</p>
