In order to pass the subject, the students must attend to all the laboratory classes and to the 80% of the remaining activities.

In the “first opportunity”, the contribution of the different methodologies to the final assessment is as follows:

C1 Mixed text, 6.0 points.

C2 Laboratory practice, 2.0 points

C3 Keynote speech + problem solving + short test, 2.0 points.

C4 Student progression, 1 point.

In order to pass the subject the students have to attain a minimum mark of 5 points corresponding to the sum of (C1 + C2+ C3) and comply with the following requirements:

The student must attain a minimum of the 45% of the maximum mark in contributions C1 and C2. If the sum (C1 + C2+ C3) is 5 points or higher but C1 and C2 do not reach the 45% threshold, the final mark will be 4.5 points.

The contribution C4 “Student progression” will be added to the final marks only if the sum C1 + C2+ C3 is 5 or more points. (In any case, the maximum mark is 10 points)

The condition of “no presentado” will be granted to those students who have participated in activities summing less than the 20% of the total mark.

In the “second opportunity”, the student repeats only of the mixed test. The marks corresponding to laboratory practice, and keynote speech + problem solving + short test are those attained during the normal period of classes (first opportunity). The contribution of each methodology and the conditions to pass the subject are the defined for the first opportunity. Consequently, a minimum mark of 45% in laboratory practice (C1) in the first opportunity is also necessary to pass the subject in the second opportunity.

The mark “matricula de honor” will be granted preferably to the students that have passed the subject in the first opportunity.

Attendance to laboratory practice classes is mandatory for part-time students (according to the UDC regulations). For those students, the contribution to the final marks is as follows: 75% of the final marks corresponds to the mixed text and the remaining 25% corresponds to the laboratory practice. The marking system (percentages) will be the same for both opportunities. The condition of “no persentado” will be granted to those part-time students who do not take the mixed text.

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Lectures dedicated to introduce the most relevant contents of the course. Active participation of students are encouraged as an important part of the lectures methodology. Prior to each lecture students are supposed to have read the suggested readings related to the topics of the lecture. If necessary the students are expected to prepare by themselves part of the course contents in the student’s personal work hours.
Problem solving	Classes given in small groups of students, which must participate actively. Problem-solving classes are dedicated to solving the doubts arisen during lectures and the preparatory readings. They are also dedicated to the resolution of problems and questions previously given to the students or to the intensive study of a particular topic through the active discussion methodology. If necessary, practical cases may also be solved using the university Moodle.
Laboratory practice	Laboratory classes which are dedicated to the synthesis, isolation and characterization of organometallic compounds. Prior to the lab class, the student studies the theoretical and synthetic aspects of each laboratory experiment using the recommended bibliographic sources. Before starting the laboratory work, the student has to show, in a personal tutorial with the professor, that has reached the necessary level of knowledge and skills necessary to understand and carry out the experiment safely. During the laboratory work, the student must work carefully paying special attention to the safety rules and showing the rigor and efficiency characteristic of the scientific method. The preparatory work, the experimental description (laboratory diary) and the conclusions drawn must be recorded in the laboratory notebook, which must be given to the professor before the deadline.
Mixed objective/subjective test	The mixed test is a written exam, which consists of essay-type questions in which the student must find the answer to a more or less complex problem, which may be of logic or numeric nature. It may also contain objective test questions.

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Guest lecture / keynote speech	A14 B3 C1 C2	During lectures, the professor assesses the active participation of students as well as their reasoning and oratory skills. If necessary, the students might take a brief test consisting of short answer or multiple election questions, during the lecture hours. The solution and presentation of a study case using Moodle are also possible. The marks corresponding to these activities will be added to the “problem solution” marks.	0
Problem solving	A1 A4 A6 A9 A10 A14 A16 B1 B2 B3 C1 C2	During the problem-solving classes, the professor assesses the active participation of students as well as their reasoning and oratory skills. If necessary, the students might take a brief test consisting of short answer or multiple election questions, during the lecture hours. The solution and presentation of a study case using Moodle are also possible. The marks corresponding to these activities will be added to the “lecture” marks.	20
Laboratory practice	A1 A4 A6 A9 A16 A17 A18 A20 A22 A23 A26 B1 B4	During the pre-lab tutorial, the professor assess the rigorous preparation of the theoretical and experimental parts of the laboratory experiment which concerns both the synthetic and the characterization methodology. The professor also assesses the laboratory work, particularly: the organization, safety work, knowledge of the material and technical procedures, the manual skill and, especially, the ability to find relationships between the experimental procedure carried out and the theoretical background acquired during the previous work. The laboratory notebook will also be marked. It consists of four parts: preparatory work, exact description of laboratory work (laboratory diary), characterization of the products synthesized and results and conclusions drawn from the experiment.	20
Mixed objective/subjective test	A1 A4 A6 A9 A10 A14 B2 B3 C1 C2	Students will take the mixed test in the hours designed by the Faculty. The assessment criteria will be given before the exam.	60
