Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Laboratory practice Understanding reading of the practice. Realise the experimental work. Pose and resolve the numerical calculations associated as well as the questions that pose. Examine and value the results. Draft and present the final report of the practices.
Objective test Tests written divide in two parts (theoretical and of problems) used for the evaluation of the learning of the student.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Has a expositive function complemented with the use of audiovisual means and the introduction of some questions headed to the students, with the purpose of transmit knowledges and facilitate the learning. The student takes aim, poses doubts and questions. Includes a conference or technical visit to charge specialists in a particular chemical industry.
Problem solving Methodology carried out in average group (20 students): presentation and resolution of numerical problems bulletins and of theory exercises bulletins. The student, of individual form or in reduced group, poses doubts and /or questions, participating of active form in the classroom.

Supervised projects Treats of the realization, in reduced groups of students, of studies directed that, each group, has to expose in the classroom and deliver to the professor for his correction.

Personalized attention
Methodologies
Problem solving
Supervised projects
Laboratory practice
Description
In the personalized attention will treat to amend possible deficiencies in the previous chemical training of the student and to resolve doubts and punctual questions that, usually, prevent him the general follow-up of the matter.

It will realize a follow-up of the work of the student in the laboratory, will take in consideration his suggestions and will loan him help to clear the doubts.

In the average group problem solving sessions, they will be helped to clarify concepts and resolve possible doubts.

In the supervised projects preparation will facilitate them the assistance that require for his preparation and exhibition.

The students that request and was them conceded academic dispense, will be able to remain exempt of the 80 % of the face-to-face classes assistance (Guest lecture and problems solving). They will realise mandatory the laboratory practices and will participate in the training of group of work sessions, preparation and presentation/exhibition of the supervised project, what involves the assistance to the 20 % of the face-to-face classes.

Assessment comments
This section indicates what marks in each methodology. The objective test describes as it is the examination and the punctuation of each one of the parts of theory and of problems. The minimum note in each part of the exam (theory or problems in the partial or final, or in the second part of the subject) so that you can take into account the scores of laboratory practices, problem solving and supervised work has to be 3.0 over 7.0. To obtain approved in the matter has to fulfil that the sum of the notes of the objective test, laboratory practice, problem solving of and supervised projects was at least 5,0.

Any of the theoretical subjects neither of the problems proposed in the partial examination will be able to leave in white, having to be recovered in the final examination with independence of the note obtained.

The supervised projects, to realize in groups of 5 students, will constitute a summary of the subject proposed by the professor, with an extension in the order of 5-6 pages in Word format. For his presentation in the classroom, previously will elaborate of 8 to 10 transparencies in PowerPoint format. The participants in each work have to belong to the same average group of the class.

All the groups that present a supervised project in a determinate session, will have to be presents in the classroom from the beginning to the end of the same.

In order to be qualified, the student will perform all laboratory practices and participate in the elaboration and exhibition of the supervised work in this subject. These methodologies are mandatory.

To the student that surpass the subject first part (Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry) in the partial examination or in the announcement of january or, well, that surpass the subject second part(Industrial and Organic Chemistry) in the announcement of january, will save him the approved part note during the corresponding academic course. In case to repeat the subject will have to examine of the two parts again.

The student that have been missing to some practice of laboratory or that have not surpassed the examination of recovery of the practice, in case to repeat the matter has to go back to realize all again.

Will take into account, in the measure of the possible, the circumstances of the repeat students.

The students with enrols to partial time will, or with conceded academic dispense, have to realise the activities or compulsory methodologies (laboratory practice and supervised Project), in this case will remain exempt of 80% of the assistance to the face-to-face classes. Nevertheless, it recommends them that they do also the activity problem solving; in this case would remain exempt of 70% of the assistance to the face-to-face classes.

Other comments
Since it treats of a matter that gives in the 1st four-month period of first course of the career, is indispensable that the student handle with fluency concepts and basic knowledges of Mathematics, Physical and Chemistry of the high school diploma. Previously to study this matter considers of big importance to know the chemical nomenclature (that is to say, appoint and formulate the chemical elements and more common inorganic and organic compounds). To help to achieve some immediate surroundings sustained and fulfil with the aim of the number 5 action: "Teaching and healthy and sustainable investigation environmental and social" of the "Plan of Action Green Campus Ferrol": The delivery of the documentary works that realise in this matter: * They will request in virtual format and/or computer support * Will realise through Moodle, in digital format without need to print them * In case to be necessary to realise them in paper: - They will not employ plastic - Will realise impressions to double expensive - Will employ paper recycled - Will avoid the impression of drafts. * It has to do a sustainable use of the resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the half natural.
