Seminar
Description
To look for a deeper understanding of the subject content, mainly spectroscopic applications, and to find the best personalized strategy in problem solving.

Tutoring schedule will be decided at lecturers and students convenience. The plan is to have four sessions, fifteen minutes each, during the term. They take place at the lecturers' offices.

Part-time students and those exempted from attending classes must attend personally to, at least, at one tutoring session per seminar in time schedule agreed between lecturer and student. This is complemented by the use of e-tutoring.

Assessment comments

Knowledge, the ability of:
critical thinking, synthesis, comparison, processing, concepts application and
originality of the student will be assessed. Grading system. The Spanish
grading system will be used as follows: Spanish Grade Definition ECTS Grade
Definition. 10 Matrícula de Honor A+ Top Qualification 9 -10 Sobresaliente A
Highest 10% 7 – 8.9 Notable B Next 20% 5 – 6.9 Aprobado C-D Next 65% 0 – 4.9
Suspenso FX-F Not Pass Attendance. It is strongly sugested the attendance at
all activities. Attendance at all laboratory sessions is mandatory. Non
attendance implies not pass, fail with cero over ten, the subject. 

First opportunity. At least a grade of 4.5 over ten in each of the two
parts of the final exam and lab work is required to take into consideration the
rest of the assessable activities. 

Second opportunity. Activities subject to assessment graded below 4.5 over
ten must be delivered again -but those related to seminars and lab sessions-,
as well as redo the part(s) of the final exam with a mark below 4.5 over ten.
In both oportunities, in spite of getting a mark of five or above, over ten, by
using the weighted average, the final mark will be 4.5 if a least a grade of 4.5
over ten is not obtained in each of the two parts of the final exam and lab
work and/or a grade below 4.5 over ten in the rest of each assessable
activities. In both opportunities, a final grade of five over ten is required
to pass the subject. The final grade is calculated by considering all
assessable activities and applying the weights indicated above. Matricula de
Honor (MH). An extra exam will be carried out in case of the number of student
students, eligible for Matrícula de Honor, is greater than the number of
allowed MHs. Students assessed in the second opportunity could also be eligible
for Matrícula de Honor if the maximum allowed number of MHs has not been fully
covered in the first opportunity. No presentado grade. Students who have
participated in scheduled assessment activities whose sum is less than 50% of
the final mark will be graded as no presentado, except they achieved a mark of
five over ten in the lab work. Next academic courses. As regard to next academic courses, everything starts again
with the new course, but the lab work if it was graded with five over ten. Such
exemption, if it is offered, must be requested by the student within the
estblished term. Part-time students and those exempted from attending classes. Prevoius
criteria also apply, but those related to attending and participating in
seminars. In this case students will have available seminar activities which
must be delivered/uploaded as timely indicated by electronic means. Complement
in doctorate studies. The mark will be PASS or FAIL.

Other comments
It is strongly recommended to study regularly the theoretical concepts explained in the lectures, and, at the same time, to answer the questions and to solve the numerical problems proposed along the course.Handouts should never replace the recommended reference material.It could be very HELPFUL the use of the tutorships to clarify doubts and to deepen the knowledge associated with the subject.
