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 problem solving and seminar sessions in small group will loan them help to clear concepts and resolve possible doubts.

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

The student with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of attendance exemption will be attended in tutoring hours (by appointment).

Mixed objective/subjective test A4 A4 B1 B2 B5 B1 In the middle of the term there will be an eliminatory partial exam of the subject taught up to that moment (theory and problems). At the end of the four-month period, a second partial exam will be held to eliminate the rest of the subject that has not been included in the first partial exam (theory and problems). Students who have not passed the partial exam(s) will be able to be examined in the global exam of January of first opportunity (theory and problems). 70

Assessment comments

In order to be evaluated, students must have completed at least 75% of the practical laboratory classes.

In order to add the points of the different activities to the grade of the exam, a minimum of 2.5 points must be obtained.

For the evaluation of the second opportunity, the same continuous evaluation activities can be carried out as during the course, except for the laboratory practices, and in their place, questionnaires via Moodle and/or exams can be taken.

The student with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance will be evaluated by the grade obtained in the final exam (80%) and the completion of tutored work (20%).

Advance call (December): It will be evaluated in the same way as the rest of the calls (January and July).

Implications of plagiarism: the fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities will directly imply the grade of "0" in the subject in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all evaluation activities for the extraordinary call.

Anuncio anticipado (diciembre): Se evaluará de la misma forma que el resto de anuncios, excepto que no se contabilizará la actividad "resolución de problemas". La prueba objetiva se evaluará con 8,0 puntos y se requerirá una nota mínima de 3,5 puntos para sumar las notas del resto de actividades (prácticas de laboratorio y proyectos tutelados).

Implicaciones del plagio: la realización fraudulenta de las pruebas o actividades de evaluación implicará directamente la calificación de "0" en la materia en la convocatoria correspondiente, invalidando así cualquier calificación obtenida en todas las actividades de evaluación para la convocatoria extraordinaria.

Other comments

The importance of ethical principles related to the values of sustainability and gender equality in personal and professional behavior should be taken into account. "To help achieve a sustainable immediate environment and meet the objective of action number 5: "Healthy and environmentally and socially sustainable teaching and research" of the "Green Campus Ferrol Action Plan": The delivery of the documentary work carried out in this area: - Request them in virtual format and/or computer support - They will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them - If necessary, they will be done on paper: - No plastics will be used - Double-sided printing will be done. - Use recycled paper. - Avoid printing drafts.

We will try to transmit to the students the importance of the ethical principles related to the values of sustainability so that they apply them not only in the classroom but also in their personal and professional behavior.

The gender perspective should be incorporated in this subject so that the work delivered by students and the material prepared should use a non-sexist language.

Facilitate the full integration of students who, for physical, psychological or socio-cultural reasons, experience difficulties in gaining adequate, equal and adequate access to university life.
