Academic dispensation is accepted. Students whose presence during the four-month period is insufficient to monitor their work will still have to prepare and present the lab practices and the tutored work for assessment. The monitoring of this work will be carried out in the tutorial sessions. In this case, the assessment process of the subject may include, in addition to the presentation of the lab practices and the tutored work, an individual or group session, in which the student solves the problems set by the teacher manually and/or with the computer.

For the second opportunity, the student can present the pending work and improve thework already done. Follow-up is carried out in tutorial sessions. The evaluation is carried out by means of the presentation of the laboratory practices and of the pending and/or improved tutored work. The assessment process of the subject may include, in addition to the presentation of the laboratory practices and the tutored work, an individual or group session, in which the student solves the problems manually and/or with the computer.

The evaluation criteria for the early December call will be the same as those for the second opportunity of the previous academic year.

Proven
fraud in any work, test or evaluation activity will directly lead to a failing
grade of "0" in the work, test or evaluation activity in question,
without the option to resubmit it in the extraordinary or advanced call

Methodologies	Description
Seminar	Técnica de traballo en grupo para resolver problemas, mediante exposición, discusión, participación e cálculo. Emprégase calculadora.
Laboratory practice	Metodoloxía que permite a realización de actividades de carácter práctico con computador, tales como modelización, análise e simulación de elementos mecánicos e estruturais
Supervised projects	Metodoloxía deseñada para promover a aprendizaxe autónoma dos estudantes, resolvendo un problema que involucre o conter da materia e involucre as competencias específicas da mesma, realizado baixo a tutela do profesor Alternativamente proponse un traballo tutelado no ámbito do aprendizaxe-servizo, que combina o servizo á comunidade coa aprendizaxe nun só proxecto, no que o alumnado se forma traballando en necesidades reais da súa contorna co fin de melloralo
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Exposición oral complementada co uso de medios audiovisuais, que ten como finalidade transmitir coñecementos e facilitar a aprendizaxe da materia

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practice	A19 B2 B3 B5 B13 B15 B14 B16 B7 B6 C1 C2 C3 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C11	Students must systematically attend the practicals and prepare them during the practical sessions of the subject and in the non-classroom hours assigned. The work carried out is monitored during these practical sessions. The evaluation is carried out through the presentation of the reports of these practical sessions.	30
Supervised projects	A19 B2 B3 B5 B13 B15 B14 B16 B7 B6 C1 C3 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C11	The work involves the theoretical and practical contents developed in the subject. It must be done individually in the practical sessions throughout the course and at home, in the non-face-to-face hours assigned to this subject. The work will be monitored during the practical sessions. The assessment is carried out through the presentation of the tutored work.	70
