Laboratory practice
Problem solving
Description
The laboratory practices are compulsory to overcome the subject. The student´s groups will develop the proposed practices, all being responsible for the results obtained. The whole time they will have the follow-up of the teacher.

During problem solution sessions, some typical problems will be solved in the classroom, selected from among the previously delivered bulletins. Other exercises are left as individual work of the student, both inside and outside the classroom, being supervised by the teacher.

For students with part-time dedication and academic assistance, the most appropriate methodologies will be taken into account for the specific needs required by each student.

Assessment comments

For a student to be evaluated, it must be taken into account that class attendance is mandatory. There exceptional cases must be documented.

The repeating students who will do the laboratory practice during the 2018/19 academic year will be able to choose between taking the laboratory practices again and being evaluated, or not doing them and keeping the laboratory score of the previous course. The laboratory practices are compulsory, so that a student who does not perform them, has no option to pass the subject. 

The students with grades of "not presented" are those who did not show up for the objective test. 

Students with part-time dedication: The criteria and evaluation activities for the first opportunity will depend on the amount of dedication to said part-time. The students, who for justified reasons (employment, illness, ...) do not perform the continuous evaluation, the objective test in person represents 90% of the score. The remaining 10% corresponds to the score of the laboratory practices, which are obligatory.

The second opportunity will be governed by the same criteria as the first opportunity. 

In general, the delivery of written documentary works will preferably be done in virtual format and / or computer support. If this is not possible, recycled paper, double-sided printing will be used preferably and prints of drafts and the use of plastics will be avoided.
