Methodologies

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Keynote speech complemented with the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions to students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning. The order of the topics covered will not have to be the one described in the teaching guide. In addition, there will be topics that can be seen together on the development of others, and the division between them may not be strict.
Laboratory practice	Performing laboratory practice as far as possible; or, failing that, solving exercises and specific problems in the classroom, from the knowledge explained.
Workshop	Realization of an individual work of a specific subject of the subject and sharing in a group to share knowledge. Later the works will be joined in a common one that will be presented in class by groups.
Mixed objective/subjective test	It consists in carrying out an objective test of approximately 3 hours, in which the acquired knowledge will be evaluated.

Personalized attention

Methodologies

Laboratory practice

Description

The student has the relevant meetings of personalized tutorials, to resolve the concerns arising from the matter.

Assessment

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practice	A12 A13 B1 B14 C3 C5	Some tasks established in the subject, within the framework of this methodology	5
Mixed objective/subjective test	A7 A8 A9 A10 B1 B11	Exam type objective test	60
Workshop	A7 A8 B14	Accomplishment of an individual and group work, as well as its exhibition in class	35

Assessment comments
As part of the "Laboratory practice" may include aspects such as attendance, personal work, attitude, etc., to help to pass the subject. The "Mixed test" will be divided into a multiple choice and some questions. It is necessary to exceed 15% of the score in the "Mixed test" to pass, as well as to approve the works proposed in "Workshop".
