Students will be evaluated
using the following grading system:

- C1: Qualification of the
mixed test: to pass the course, the student must obtain a minimum of 50% of the
maximum mark in this section.

- C2: Qualification of the
laboratory practices: to pass the course, the student must obtain a minimum of
45% of the maximum mark in this section.

- C3: Qualification of the
workshops, multiple choice tests and analysis of documentary sources.

- C4: Qualification of the
global evolution of the student's progression.

The student will pass the
course if he obtains a minimum of 5 points in the following sum: 0.6 (C1) +
0.20 (C2) + 0.20 (C3). The qualification of the global evolution of the
student's progression (C4) will be made once the remaining qualifications (C1,
C2 and C3) have been made, and only for those students who passed the subject,
and can be assessed with a maximum of one point, which it may be added to the
final grade. In the event that a student exceeds, in the sum total of all
grades, the ten points, a grade of 10.0 points will be assigned.

In the event that the qualification for the course is less than the sum
of 0.80 (C1) + 0.20 (C2), the qualification will be replaced by the value of this sum.

If the
final qualification
exceeds 5 points but does not reach 50% of the mark in section C1 and 45% of
the mark in section C2, the mark that will appear in the minutes will be 4.5
(failed).

If the student attends the laboratory
practices, he will not be able to obtain the qualification of "Not Presented".

The qualification obtained in the "first opportunity"
(February ), if it is positive (equal to or greater than 5), is final.

The grading scale for the "second opportunity"
will be the same as that described for the "first opportunity", with
the exception that the mixed qualification for the second opportunity will
replace the mixed qualification for the first opportunity.

If the student does not reach 45% of the
maximum mark in the laboratory practice section at the first opportunity, he
will be able to carry out a work related to a new laboratory practice.

Students evaluated on the "second opportunity"
will only be eligible for honors, if the maximum number of these for the course,
in accordance with academic regulations, has not been fully covered on the
"first opportunity ".

Those students who take advantage of the
"recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption of attendance
exemption" in accordance with UDC regulations, will only be required to
attend practical laboratory classes. The final qualification for these students will consist of two parts:
the mark obtained in the laboratory practices, which will contribute 20% to the
final mark, and the mark for the mixed test, which will count for the remaining
80%. These grade percentages will apply to both opportunities. The
qualification of "not presented" will be awarded to those students
admitted to the aforementioned exemption regime on the condition that they do
not appear for the mixed test.

The
entire teaching-learning process described in this guide, including the
assessment, refers solely and exclusively to the current academic year.

Methodologies	Description
Introductory activities	Presentation of the subject and its contents, the methodology that is used throughout the course and the criteria that will be used for the assessment.
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Classroom activity designed for relatively large groups of students (a maximum of sixty) in which the main contents of the course are presented. The lectures will require the participation of the students asking questions about the lecture and answering those questions raised by the instructor. It is advised that the students read in advance the literature associated to the topic that will be covered by the lecture.
Workshop	Classes where various activities will be carried out in which the student must actively participate. - In this activity, bulletins of questions and problems will be solved, which will have previously been given to the students and that, once in class, the students will discuss with their classmates the answers to the different questions, establishing a debate. - In the workshops, intermediate tests will also be carried out that combine questions of multiple response type, ordering, short answer, to complete, etc., which will help the student and the teacher to verify that the topics covered in previous classes were understood. - Before attending the workshop, and in order to participate and be evaluated in it, the student must deliver the bulletin through the online platform available for the subject.
Laboratory practice	It will focus on the synthesis and isolation of inorganic substances. - Before starting the practices, the student will have to carry out an initial study that includes both preparatory and theoretical aspects associated with the experiments to be carried out, applying their knowledge and relying at all times on the bibliographic review of the proposed texts. The results and conclusions of this autonomous work must be presented in a personal interview with the professor in charge before beginning the actual practices in the laboratory, in order to determine if the degree of knowledge acquired is sufficient to allow them to proceed to carry out with safety and use the experimental work. - During the development of the experiments, the student must demonstrate a responsible attitude with regard to safety regulations, as well as the rigorous and efficient characteristics of the scientific method. - The student must prepare a laboratory notebook that will consist of three parts: summary of the previous theoretical preparation (carried out during the initial study), detailed description of the execution and development of the experiment (laboratory diary), and a final comment on the results obtained and the conclusions that can be drawn from them.
Multiple-choice questions	A test will be carried out in the lectures at the end of each lesson, to evaluate the learning of the contents. This test will be made using platforms such as Moodle, Office 365 package tools and / or applications available on the Internet. For this purpose, questions will be asked as a direct question or an incomplete statement, and several options or response alternatives providing possible solutions, of which only one of them is valid, thus seeing the degree of assimilation of the contents of the course by the student.
Document analysis	This methodology will help the student to work on relevant content for the subject matter, with activities specifically designed on the platforms for their analysis through the use of audiovisual and / or bibliographic documents (fragments of documentary reports or films, current news, photographs, articles, etc.) available to the student through the online platforms.
Mixed objective/subjective test	Written test that may consist of a series of short questions, questions to develop, numerical problems and multiple choice questions related to the program of the subject.

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practice	A14 A16 A17 A18 A20 A21 A22 A23 A26 B1 B2 B3 B4 C1	Previous to the beginning of the practices, in an initial interview, the teacher, in addition to guiding the student, will evaluate all the aspects related to the initial study of the practices and experimental or safety aspects at work (see Methodology section). The student will not be able to begin work in the laboratory until he or she has adequately completed this prior preparation. Work in the laboratory will be evaluated from the points of view of: - organization and security - knowledge of the material, preparatory techniques and their use - manual skill and, - especially, the ability to understand the processes observed from the previous preparation. The elaboration of a Laboratory Notebook will also be evaluated, which will consist of three parts: 1- Summary of the previous theoretical preparation (carried out during the initial study). 2- Detailed description of the execution and development of the experiments (laboratory diary). 3- Final comment on the results obtained and the conclusions that can be drawn from them.	20
Mixed objective/subjective test	A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A12 A14 A21 B2 B3 C1	Students will take the mixed test in the hours designed by the Faculty. It will consist of a number of questions and problems related to the subject's contents, according to the Methodology section.	60
Workshop	A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A12 A14 A16 A21 B2 B3 B4 C1	To be evaluated in the workshop, as indicated in the Methodology section, the student must deliver the bulletin through the online platform available for the subject. During the workshop the teacher will value the answers to the questions in the bulletin and the active participation in the debate with the other classmates. Intermediate multiple choice or short answer tests will also be evaluated, which will be carried out periodically in the workshops, in accordance with what is indicated in the Methodology section.	10
Multiple-choice questions	A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A12 A14 A21 B2 B3 C1	Periodically, short multiple-choice tests will be carried out through online platforms, according to what is indicated in the Methodology section.	5
Document analysis	A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A12 A14 A21 B2 B3 C1	Periodically, according to what is indicated in the methodology section, there will be activities in which, based on audiovisual and / or bibliographic documents, the student must answer questions related to the content through the online platforms available for the course.	5

Assessment comments
Students will be evaluated using the following grading system: - C1: Qualification of the mixed test: to pass the course, the student must obtain a minimum of 50% of the maximum mark in this section. - C2: Qualification of the laboratory practices: to pass the course, the student must obtain a minimum of 45% of the maximum mark in this section. - C3: Qualification of the workshops, multiple choice tests and analysis of documentary sources. - C4: Qualification of the global evolution of the student's progression.
