Description |
Seminar |
Classes for solving cases and problems. In the seminars, 8 sessions will be held in small groups in which the teacher and the students will solve different problems and numerical questions. The work of the students in these seminars will be evaluated by solving problems at the same day of the objective test. |
Laboratory practice |
The learning of the contents of the subject will involve 5 sessions of laboratory practices in which the student will put into practice the theoretical concepts acquired, will manipulate analytical instruments and solve problems. The teacher will advise these activities. |
Workshop |
The contents explained will be reinforced with the individual completion of self-evaluation questionnaires. |
Objective test |
A final exam will be held to assess the degree of learning throughout the semester. The date of the same is indicated in the exam calendar of the degree. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Presentation in the classroom, in participatory classes, of the concepts and procedures associated with the subject. Learning will involve the incorporation of fundamental concepts about each of the instrumental techniques. For this, 28 Master Sessions will be given on the most important contents of the program. For a full use of these, it is recommended that the student has previously read on their own the fundamental aspects of these topics in the recommended texts. |

Assessment comments |
To pass the course at the first opportunity, there are three basic requirements: - Compulsory attendance at laboratory practices and regular attendance at other assessable activities (seminars for solving numerical problems), -carry out all assessable activities (workshops) and -Achieve a minimum final grade of 5 points in each of them. If this minimum score is not reached in any of them, if the average is greater than or equal to 5 (out of 10), the subject will appear as failed (4.5). Students who do not perform the laboratory practices and do not take the objective test will be classified as Not Presented. Grades for labs and workshops will be kept the second time in July. While the qualification of the objective test of July will replace the one obtained in the objective test of February. Students evaluated on the second opportunity will only be eligible for honors enrollment if the maximum number of honors for the corresponding course has not been fully covered on the first opportunity. For students with academic exemptions and attendance exemptions, the realization of laboratory practices will be mandatory and will be facilitated within the flexibility allowed by the coordination schedules and the material and human resources. They will be considered exempt from the lectures, although they will be facilitated to attend as many seminars as possible outside of the established academic hours. The teacher will solve the doubts and review the work done in the hours of tutorials (by appointment) that he establishes with the students. It will be mandatory to carry out the laboratory practices in the established academic schedule. The student with recognition of part-time dedication will be evaluated by the marks obtained in the mixed tests (65%), in the practices (20%) and workshops (15%). This will apply to both opportunities. Students who request the early call in December, will apply the considerations indicated in the previous year's teaching guide.

Other comments |
Recommended:- Study and review the contents taught weekly using
bibliographic material to understand and deepen the information obtained in
class. - Clarify any doubts with the teacher. - Prepare the seminars
thoroughly. - Participate actively in class. -Required activities should be delivered in virtual format and on computer support, if they are carried out on paper, plastics will not be used, double-sided printing will be made using recycled paper and drafts will be avoided. |
