Students who accumulate more than 20% of unjustified absences, who have not carried out all the laboratory practices (without justified cause) or who have not submitted the supervised work are excluded from the continuous evaluation process. They will be qualified as NOT ATTEND at the first opportunity.

REQUIREMENTS TO PASS THE SUBJECT AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY :

1.Attend and participate regularly in class activities.

2.Submit and present the supervised work on the date indicated.

3. To do and submit all the laboratory practices on the indicated dates.

3. Obtain a minimun total score of 5 out of 10.

Students with recognition of partial time dedication and academic exemption from attendance, must communicate it to the teachers at the beginning of the term and justify them adequately. In this case, teachers will be given appropriate instructions to ensure that the students follow the subject without problems, by replacing the classroom teching methodologies with other individual works with the same score.

At the second opportunity, the student will have to pass an objective test or exam ( in classroom or online) that may have different types of questions (multiple choice, sorting, short answer, discrimination, completion and/or association). In addition, students will be asked to perform an additional work/laboratory practices. The rating will be 50% the objective test (exam), 30% the laboratory practices and 20% additional work/practices.

REQUIREMENTS TO PASS THE SUBJECT AT THE SECOND OPPORTUNITY :

1.To pass the exam (minimum 50% of the maximum score)

2.To do and submit on time the additional work/practices

3. Obtain a minimun total score of 5 out of 10.

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Oral presentation supported by audiovisual media with the inclusion of some questions for students, to provide knowledge and to facilitate learning.
Supervised projects	Methodology is designed to promote autonomous learning of students in different environments (academic or more professional environment) under the guidance of a teacher. It refers mainly to learning "how to do things." In this option, students must assume the responsibility for their own learning.
Laboratory practice	This methodology allows that students learn effectively doing practical activities, such as demonstrations, exercises, lab work and researches

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practice	B3 B1 B9 C1 C4	The student will perform three laboratory practices related to energy efficiency of conductive polymers .The skills acquired in the laboratory and the report submitted will be evaluated .	30
Supervised projects	A12 B3 B1 B9 B16 C1 C4	Students will do individual work on a topic related to conductive polymers to be delivered and presented to other students . Both will be evaluated.	70
