Description
The personalized attention that is described in relation to these methodologies are conceived as moments of face-to-face work with the teacher, for which reason they imply compulsory participation for the students.

The way and the moment in which it will be developed will be indicated in relation to each activity throughout the course according to the work plan of the subject.

These measures will be applicable both to students who regularly attend classrooms and to those with academic exemption.

Assessment comments

Depending on the participation of the students in the subject, there are two options for the evaluation:

Option A

Students who attend and participate in 80% of the interactive sessions: The final grade will be the result of the results obtained in the following sections: (1) Laboratory practices: 20%; (2) Mixed test: 40%; (3) Supervised work (25%) + Oral presentation (15%): 40% between all parties.

In part (3), the indicated methodologies are considered together, with the percentages of the overall qualification indicated in parentheses, which add up to 40% in total for this part. A written report will be presented and a presentation will be made in the classroom, combining the use of ICT resources with oral presentation.

Each section will be qualified on a scale from 0 to 10. The evaluated laboratory practices that are not attended will be qualified with 0 in the calculation of the average of this section. To pass the subject it is necessary to achieve a minimum of 5 out of 10 in each of the three previous sections. In which case, the final total grade will be the weighted average of these three sections according to the percentages indicated above.

In case of not passing any of the sections, the final qualification will be that of suspense, with the grade corresponding to the weighted average of the sections not passed. On the 2nd call, only those sections failed in the 1st will be recovered, and the final grade will be calculated in a similar way. That is, with the weighted average following the same percentages in the case of having passed the 3 sections, the numerical grade being the weighted average of those not passed if there is more than one, otherwise.

Option B.

Students who do not attend or do not participate in 80% of the interactive sessions: In this case the evaluation will not be as in the previous case, but the mixed test will constitute 100% of the final grade. However, these students can choose, if they prefer, to join a work group, made up indifferently of #attendee or non-attendant students, and carry out the supervised work (or the ApS if they wish and it is possible). In this case, the supervised work qualification (or ApS) would constitute 20% of the final grade and the final mixed test 80%, as long as both parties have a grade of no less than 5 out of 10. Otherwise, the final grade will be the corresponding failed part.

On the 2nd call, only those sections failed in the 1st will be recovered, and the final grade will be calculated in a similar way. That is, with the weighted average following the same percentages in the case of having passed the 3 sections, and with the note corresponding to the weighted average of the sections not passed otherwise.

In general for all students: Each student must place a photo that identifies them in their Moodle user profile. Misspellings in the papers and materials submitted will reduce the final score.

Students with an academic exemption from attendance exemption officially granted by the UDC will be evaluated through option B.

In the evaluation works that the contents are delivered, they must be appropriately referenced throughout the work and in the references section using certain norms. The literal text must be declared using those rules. The paraphrasing must include the original sources of the ideas that are reworked. The presence of scientific sources in the work is a sign of credibility that is an essential requirement to demonstrate academic excellence. It is recommended to consult: https://www.udc.es/gl/biblioteca/servicios/apoyo_investigacion/servicios_apoyo/index.html

Plagiarism must be avoided. The modification of article 11, section 4 b), of the Disciplinary Regulation of the student body of the UDC, approved by the Governing Council, will be applied, according to which the citations and references to any text must be declared, and the literal use of the text or ideas from other authors paraphrased without declaring the source, implies:

"Failure rating in the call in which the offense is committed and respect for the matter in which it was committed: the student will be graded with "fail" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the commission of the fault occurs in the first call as in the second. For this, its qualification will be modified in the act of first call, if necessary."
