NOT PRESENTED MARK:

The NP (non presented) qualification will be given to those students that do not attend all Laboratory sessions, and they have not attend to the final tests. Also, if you have only Lab qualification the note would be Fail (no NP). In the July opportunity will be saved the qualifications of Laboratory, Voluntary job and Seminars of problems.

LAB
PRACTICES:

Since
attendance at sessions of laboratory practice is required to be evaluated
condition, failure to attend without just cause (see the list of valid reasons
in Artigo 12 das "Normas da avaliación, revisión e reclamación das
cualificacións dos estudos de Grao e Mestrado Universitario" vixente)
involve the following:

a) a failure
to attend without just cause implies the reduction to 50% of the final mark
obtained,

b) more
than one failure to attend without just cause means failing the subject.

Lab
practices will be performed exclusively during the official schedule.

PART-TIME
STUDENTS:

The
evaluation will be distributed as follows:

a) The lab
practices represent a maximum value of 1.5 points. They are mandatory and can
be made within the official calendar on any morning or afternoon shift. In the
case of unexcused absence, the same criteria as described above for full-time students
will be applied.

b) The supervised
project represents a maximum of 1 point. It is optional.

c) The
objective test represents a maximum value of 7.5 points. It will be performed
by partial or official opportunities. The same criteria as described above for full-time
students will be applied proportionally.

STUDENTS WITH ACADEMIC ADAPTATIONS:

In
the case of students with specific learning needs, and in accordance
with the indications of the University Unit for Attention to Diversity
(ADI), the teacher will adapt the continuous and compulsory assessment
activities so that the student can pass the subject.

FAILING MARK:

If a student, having an average qualification higher than 5, fails the minimum qualification in any activity, he/she will have a qualification of 4.5, i.e., fail.

Methodologies	Description
Introductory activities	The first day of class the teacher will facilitate the program of the subject, the methodology, the criteria of evaluation, as well as a calendar detailed of each one of the activities. This information remains at hand of the student in the platform Moodle.
Document analysis	We will inform to students the necessary bibliographical data, both for problems, theory and assisted jobs. Thus, they could revise and increase the aspects explained in the classroom. The individual tutorials will help also in those aspects.
Laboratory practice	Along the six Laboratory sessions students will work in couples, doing different complete practices. A guide for each practice will be given to the student, and they will have all necessary material to mount and do them. All time students will be assisted by its teacher to resolve all doubts and help if necessary. At the end of practice time, each couple will present a memory including the job performed and the obtained results. Prior to the Laboratory sessions there will be a room session to explain the basis of experimental uncertainties and graphical representations.
Problem solving	After the theoretical exposition of each lesson, there will be Seminars (with a reduced number of students) to resolve problems to apply the theory studied. The proposed problems for each lesson will be given to the students before each of those sessions as bulletins. There we will include the numerical solution of each problem, to allow students evaluate themselves after doing them individually. Those bulletins will be of two different types: some of them General (the same for all students of the three groups), and other complementary bulletins specific for each reduced group. Not all problems will be completely resolved in the Seminars, but only those more difficult.
Objective test	There will be two written exams about the theory and numerical problems saw in classroom. The first one at the middle of the course and the second one at the end. The students that pass each of those exams will have that part of the subject passed for the Final exams of June (and Jully).
Guest lecture / keynote speech	The basic content of the different parts of the Subject will be explained by the teacher in this sessions, trying to involve students in the learning process. At the end of each session will be in the Moodle the material used that day to facilitate pupils its study.
Supervised projects	Voluntarily the students can do complementary work. That will be do in pairs of students and will be focused in applications of Physics to Biology.

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practice	A26 A30 A31 B5 B8	The total score of the practices will represent 1.5 points on the final marks and the evaluation will be done based on the submitted report. Attendance to the previous classroom session and laboratory sessions is a necessary condition to be evaluated, therefore, they are mandatory. Practices will be considered surpassed when reaching a minimum of 0.7 points over 1.5.	15
Problem solving	A22 A26 B1 B2 B8	The participation in the Seminars will represent 0.5 points on the final marks.	5
Objective test	A22 A26 B2 B10	The score of each of the two tests will be a maximum of 3.5 points on the final overall mark. In each test the theoretical part will be a maximum of 1 point and therefore the part of problems the remaining 2.5 points. The requirement is to reach a minimum of 1.4 points out of the total of 3.5 points in each partial test in order to have an option to pass the subject.	70
Supervised projects	B3 B4 B5 B8 B10	The score of the supervised project will be a maximum of 1 point on the final overall grade.	10
