Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Introductory activities Presentation of the subject, in large group (GG). Teachers: Miguel Menacho (theory and problems) and Emilio Santomé (Workshop Practice).

Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation complemented the use of media and the introduction of questions aimed at motivating students, in order to impart knowledge and facilitate learning.

Corresponds to the kind of theory, large group (GG). Professor Miguel Menacho.


Problem solving Technique by to be solved a particular problem situation, from the knowledge and procedures that have been studied and worked.

Corresponds to the class of problems, medium (GM) group. Professor Miguel Menacho.

Laboratory practice Methodology that allows students to apply the knowledge acquired through the completion of practical activities.

It is for the workshop exercises, small group (GP). Instructor: Emilio Santomé.
Objective test Written test used for the assessment of learning.

In order to more rigorously assess the achievement of the objectives, the test consists of two parts: multiple choice questions (items) and problem solving.

Multiple choice questions (items) is a measuring instrument, whose distinctive feature is that it allows the answers qualify as correct or not; and to assess the knowledge acquired.

Troubleshooting: part that is intended to evaluate conceptual, procedural and attitudinal.

It is for the consideration of theory and problems. Instructor: Miguel Menacho

Multiple-choice questions Objective test consisting raise a question as direct question or incomplete statement with several response options or alternatives that provide possible solutions, of which only one is valid.

Corresponds to practice exam workshop. Instructor: Emilio Santomé.

Assessment comments

Para aprobar a asignatura é necesario aprobar a parte de teoría e problemas e a parte de prácticas de laboratorio. Aprobarase tamén a asignatura se acadando unha nota superior o igual a 3'5 puntos na nota de prácticas de laboratorio, compensara coa parte de teoría e problemas. A calificación final é a suma da (nota de teoría e problemas)*0'80 e a (nota de prácticas de laboratorio)*0'20 . Na presentación da asignatura (primeiro día de clase) poderanse indicar actividades adicionáis cuia valoración sumarase á nota da prueba obxetiva da parte de teoría e problemas. En cualquera caso, a nota desta parte (teoría e problemas) no poderá ser superior a 10 puntos.  

No caso de estudantes a tempo parcial, realizarase unha avaliación periódica e
continua, con probas obxetivas e problemas, tras impartir cada tema da materia.
Na segunda oportunidade, todos os temas entrarán no exame. A asistencia ás
clases de teoría e de problemas non é obrigatoria (exención do 100%), aínda que
se lle ofrecerá total flexibilidade para asistir ao grupo que elixan; non
obstante, a asistencia á clase práctica do taller é necesariamente obrigatoria
(exención do 0%), aínda que tamén se lle ofrecerá completa flexibilidade de
asistencia.

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

             The delivery of the documentary works that are made in this matter:

               • Will be requested in virtual format and / or computer support

               • 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.

                   - Printing of drafts will be avoided.

• There must be a sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment
