General description Este curso ten como obxectivo describir a caracterización de materiais mediante a análise de láser (especialmente na espectroscopia de emisión de plasma inducido por láser) e os efectos térmicos inducidos.
Contingency plan 1. Modificacións nos contidos
- Non se realizan cambios

2. Metodoloxías
*Metodoloxías docentes que se manteñen
– Sesión maxistral
– Prácticas de laboratorio
– Traballos tutelados (con Atención personalizada)

*Metodoloxías docentes que se modifican

3. Mecanismos de atención personalizada ao alumnado
– Correo electrónico: Diariamente. Para facer consultas, solicitar encontros virtuais, resolver dúbidas e facer o seguimento dos traballos tutelados.
– Moodle: Diariamente segundo a necesidade do alumando. Dispoñen de “foros temáticos asociados aos módulos” da materia para formular as consultas necesarias. Tamén dispoñen de “foros de actividade específica” para desenvolver as “Discusións dirixidas”, a través das que se se pon en práctica o desenvolvemento de contidos teóricos da materia.
– Teams: Sesións individuais en pequeno grupo para o seguimento e apoio na realización dos “traballos tutelados”. Esta dinámica permite facer un seguimento normalizado e axustado as necesidades da aprendizaxe do alumando para desenvolver o traballo da materia.

Assessment comments

The evaluation criteria in the 2nd opportunity are the same as those in
the 1st opportunity. Students with recognition of part-time dedication DO NOT
have an academic exemption of attendance exemption for Laboratory Practices,
although they will be given facilities regarding the dates of completion prior
communication. The criteria and evaluation activities for this student will be
the same as for the rest of the students.

Other comments

To help achieve a sustained immediate environment and meet the goal of action number 5: "Healthy and environmental and social teaching and research" of the "Green Campus Ferrol Action Plan", the following recommendations are made: 

- Make a sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment.

- The delivery of the documentary works that are made in this matter: it will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them. If it is necessary to make them on paper.

- Plastics will not be used.

- Double-sided prints will be made.

- Recycled paper will be used. 

- The printing of drafts will be avoided.
