Methodologies |
Description |
| Laboratory practice |
Activity that allows students to learn and consolidate the knowledge already acquired through practical sessions in the laboratory. This methodology allows exercising and evaluating the A4, B2, B3 and B5 skills.
The acquisition of the transversal competence C3 will also be taken into account in these sessions. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Master sessions will be held on the contents of the agenda, normally as a starting point for the rest of the planned activities. These contents will be focused on the A4 and the A6 competition. The sessions will be focused in such a way as to promote the acquisition of transversal and core competencies of the subject. |
| Objective test |
At the end of the semester there will be an exam that will evaluate the contents of the subject. The test will place particular emphasis on the A5, A6 and B5 skills |
| Problem solving |
Problems will be proposed to the students to solve as personal work. Solutions will be discussed in problem classes. Partial controls will also be carried out during the course. This methodology allows exercising and evaluating the A4, A6, B2 and B3 skills.
The acquisition of the transversal competence C3 will also be taken into account in these sessions. |

|
| Description |
| Personalized attention is essential to guide the students in carrying out the proposed problems and for laboratory practices. On the other hand, students will be recommended to attend tutorials as a method of help. |

Qualification
|
| Problem solving |
A4 A6 B2 B3 C3 |
Problems will be proposed of individual development and their resolution will be evaluated through written controls during the course. These controls are intended to assess the skills A4, B2, B3 and B5. |

| Laboratory practice |
A4 B2 B3 B5 C3 |
The practices carried out by the students during the development of them in the laboratory sessions will be evaluated. With the results of these practices, it is sought to evaluate the A4, B2, B3 and B5 competencies. |

| Objective test |
A4 B2 B3 |
At the end of the semester there will be a written exam on the contents of the subject. This exam will assess the A4, B2 and B3 skills. |

Assessment comments |
- At the first opportunity to pass the subject it will be necessary to take the final exam and have a total grade (practices plus controls plus exam) equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum grade.
- On the second opportunity, the exam grade will be 80% of the total, that is, the entire subject will be evaluated. The practice grade will be the one obtained during the course. For students who present themselves for the early opportunity in December, the practice grade they had obtained in their last course will be used. To pass the subject, the final grade (exam plus practices) must be equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum grade.
- Fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities will directly imply the qualification of failing '0' in the corresponding test.
- Students with part-time enrollment will be able to choose the internship group that best suits their schedules, allowing group mobility throughout the course. Those who have been granted the academic waiver that exempts them from class attendance will only have to carry out the practices corresponding to the continuous evaluation.
