Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Guest lecture will be taught in whole group. At the beginning, the objectives of the subject matter will be presented. Likewise, at the end of each topic will be present a summary. The students will be provided teaching materials in advance.
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.
Supervised projects Supervised projects intend that students to do a small project/study in small groups. At the end of course the students must hand the study. In these sesions teacher will help students with any questions.
Mixed objective/subjective test At the end of the course, students must pass a mixed objective test, which will include a practical exercises and theory test.

Personalized attention
Methodologies
Supervised projects
Seminar
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.


Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Mixed objective/subjective test A1 A15 B2 B4 C1 At the end of the course a test will be done, that will inclued theorical and practical issues. This test is obligatory being scored from 1 to 10 points, proportionally. To compute the final grade will need to have at least four points in it. 50
Supervised projects A22 A28 B4 B5 C1 C3 C4 During course students will do a project/study in small groups, which have to hand in writing way. The clarity of content, presentation and writing will be assessed. The process of preparing the work will also be evaluated with special attention to the capacity of group work and individual initiative. The project is obligatory in the fixed time. Is not possible to pass the course without doing and handing the project. 30
Seminar A11 A15 B2 B4 B7 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.

Assessment comments

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.
