Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation complemented by the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions aimed at students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning. The master class is also known as a lecture, expository method or Lecture. This last modality is usually reserved for a special type of lesson given by a teacher on special occasions, with content that implies an original elaboration based on the almost exclusive use of the word as a way of transmitting information to the audience.
Supervised projects Methodology designed to promote the autonomous learning of students, under the tutelage of teachers
and in varied settings (academic and professional). It is primarily concerned with learning how to do things.
It is an option based on the assumption by students of responsibility for their own learning. This teaching system is based on two basic elements: independent student learning and monitoring of that learning by the tutor.
Laboratory practice Methodology that allows students to learn effectively through practical activities, such as demonstrations, exercises, experiments and research
Mixed objective/subjective test Exam that integrates standard questions and objective type questions. As for the former, it includes open-ended questions of development, the latter can combine multiple-choice, ranking, short-answer, discrimination, completion and association questions.
ICT practicals Practice-based learning method for theoretical subject content using ICT resources (demonstrations, simulations, etc.) ICT is an excellent medium for practical knowledge applications and information processing, and a key aid to student learning and skills development.
Problem solving Technique through which a specific problem situation has to be solved, based on the knowledge that has been worked on, which may have more than one possible solution
Field trip Activities developed in a context external to the university academic environment (companies, institutions, organizations, monuments, etc.) related to the field of study of the subject. These activities focus on the development of skills related to direct and systematic observation, information gathering, product development (sketches, designs ...)

Description
Traballos tutelados: Recoméndase a asistencia a titorías personalizadas. Nelas o/a alumno/a recibirá orientación sobre o xeito de iniciar e levar a cabo o traballo de acordo aos criterios que se indicarán.

Presentación oral: Realizarase con apoio de diapositivas ou o material que consideren oportuno e cada alumno/a do grupo dispoñerá dun determinado tempo para esta.

Prácticas de Laboratorio: O/A alumno/a será convocado/a con anterioridade a través do Campus Virtual. As prácticas realizaránse no laboratorio de Tecnoloxía Química e Medio Ambiente (Edificio Talleres Tecnolóxicos), salvo que se indique o contrario.

En caso de dispensa académica o/a alumno/a porase en contacto coas profesoras para acordar as mellores datas para realizar cada unha das actividades previstas na materia, dentro sempre das posibilidades que permitan os horarios.

Assessment comments

The student with a grade higher than 4 in the objective tests will go on to weighing with the rest of the evaluation methodologies.

In the event that any of the activities mentioned above were not carried out, the qualification of that methodology will pass to the objective test.

In the first evaluation opportunity, both the qualification of the works and the laboratory practices will be taken into account, as long as they pass the minimum of 4 in the mixed test. This same criterion will be applicable for the second opportunity.

For the advanced call, the laboratory practices and the mixed test will be taken into account, therefore the latter having a value of 95% of the note and 5% the laboratory practices.

Attendance at laboratory practices is mandatory to pass the course.  The student who presents proof of not attending the practice as must take an exam of the same as the day of the exam of the January call or, failing that, the day of the second opportunity exam.

The fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities will directly imply the grade of failure a "0" in the matter in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all the evaluation activities for the extraordinary call.
