Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech The teacher will present the fundamental contents of each of the topics. For better learning, students will have to advance the development of these sessions teaching materials suitable for your personal preparation. All students can consult the teacher any aspect of the matter in the tutorial schedule established for this purpose. He taught in large group.
Seminar Sessions devoted to the resolution of problems and issues with the active participation of students. He taught in small group.
Laboratory practice In the laboratory sessions students will develop experimental examples of the theoretical exposed in the classroom. Will be essential to achieving the prelaboratorios before the relevant practice (but the student can not perform such practice) as well as keep up to date lab book, according to the instructions of the teacher. An initial meeting will be provided in large group students to explain the content and dynamics of practices.
Mixed objective/subjective test The student will perform a joint test for verifying the degree of understanding of the subject has gained. It will include combined theoretical questions, numerical exercises and questions about the practices.

Description
Solving any doubts individually and guiding the student in relation to course content.

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic assistance waiver regime will be treated in tutoring (by appointment)

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Guest lecture / keynote speech A1 A4 A5 A6 A7 A12 A16 A21 A25 B2 B3 B4 It will assess the student's participation. Some short tests will be done periodically in the seminar sessions and /orguest lecture to assess the evolution of the student. It will be evaluated in conjunction with the seminars. 5
Laboratory practice A7 A12 A16 A17 A19 A20 A23 B3 B4 B5 C1 C3 It will assess the performance of the prelaboratorios, abilities and skills of students in the experimental work, their ability to interpret the results, etc. 20
Seminar A1 A5 A6 A21 A25 B2 B3 B4 B5 C3 It will assess the student's participation, the resolution of problems and numerical excercises, compliance dates for delivery or revision. Some short tests will be done periodically in the seminar sessions and /or guest lecture to assess the evolution of the student. It will be evaluated in conjunction with the guest lectures. 5
Mixed objective/subjective test A1 A4 A5 A6 A20 A21 A25 B3 C1 It has two parts. In one of them will be evaluated the student's ability to express, summarize and develop theoretical aspects of the subject and, in the other, the resolution of problems and numerical exercises. 70
 
Assessment comments

-To pass the subject you must:

   1) Perform the laboratory practices.

   2) Obtain a higher or equal to 5 points rating (out of 10) in the laboratory practices and in each part of the mixed test. If the total sum value was
equal to or greater than 5 (out of 10) but this threshold mark was not met, the
final mark will be 4.5 (fail). The mixed test includes a first part (not compulsory) to evaluate the contents of the first topics of matter; which is eliminatory, so that students who pass it, they do not have to be evaluated from this part at the final exam.

-In the first and second time, students who do practices and obtain less than 5, have the opportunity to, in addition to the mixed test, perform a specific test related to the labs. The score of this test especcífica replaced the grade obtained in practice for the overall rating.


-Students who do not participate in the seminars and keynote speech activities will score 0 in this section (15% of the overall grade) on two occasions. The second time the grade obtained in the course for the overall rating will be maintained.

-
The student will obtain the qualification of No Presented when the
student does not assist to the laboratory practice and neither attend to
the mixed test. As regards the successive academic years, the teaching-learning process, including continuous assessment, refers to an academic course and, therefore, would comezar a new course, including all activities and procedures the Assessment that is scheduled for that course.

- Second Opportunity: The mixed test's mark obtained in the second opportunity  will replace the first one's. The students tested on the second occasion shall be eligible for honors if the maximum number of these to the corresponding course not covered in full at the first opportunity.

Students with recognition of dedication and part-time academic exemption waiver assistance:

Conducting laboratory practices are mandatory and it will be provided within the flexibility to allow coordinating schedules and material and human resources. They shall be deemed exempt from the keynote sessions while assistance will be provided to the greatest number of seminars. If they can not attend the seminars will make a mentored work.

Other comments

To successfully overcome the matter, it is imperative that students have a number of prior knowledge of chemistry and mathematics, according to the level required in middle and high school, including: nomenclature and chemical formula, set of chemical reactions , stoichiometric calculations, acid-base character identification of common compounds, obtaining oxidation states of the elements in the chemical species, management of logarithms, exponents, etc..
