Laboratory practice | A7 A8 B8 B9 C1 | During the pre-lab tutorial, the professor assess the rigorous preparation of the theoretical and experimental parts of the laboratory experiment which concerns both the synthetic and the characterization methodology. The professor also assesses the laboratory work, particularly: the organization, safety work, knowledge of the material and technical procedures, the manual skill and, especially, the ability to find relationships between the experimental procedure carried out and the theoretical background acquired during the previous work. The laboratory notebook will also be marked. It consists of four parts: preparatory work, exact description of laboratory work (laboratory diary), characterization of the products synthesized and results and conclusions drawn from the experiment. |

Problem solving | A2 A3 A7 B1 B2 B3 B7 B8 B9 C1 C3 | During the problem-solving classes, the professor assesses the active participation of students as well as their reasoning and oratory skills. If necessary, the students might take a brief test consisting of short answers or multiple election questions, during the lecture hours. The solution and presentation of a study case may also contribute to the assessment procedure. The marks corresponding to these activities will be added to the “lecture” marks. | 25 |
Guest lecture / keynote speech | A1 A2 A3 B1 B6 B8 B9 C1 C2 C3 | During lectures, the professor assesses the active participation of students as well as their reasoning and oratory skills. If necessary, the students might take a brief test consisting of short answers or multiple election questions, during the lecture hours. The solution and presentation of a study case may also contribute to the assessment procedure. The marks corresponding to these activities will be added to the “problem solution” marks. |

Assessment comments | |||
Students will be assessed according to thefollowing contributions. C1 Mixed text. (Students must attain aminimum of the 45% of the maximum mark to pass the subject) C2 Laboratory practice. (Students mustattain a minimum of the 45% of the maximum mark to pass the subject. Attendanceto laboratory classes is mandatory) C3 Keynote speech + problem solving +short test. C4 Student progression. In order to pass the subject, studentshave to attain a minimum mark of 5 points corresponding to the formula: 0,6(C1) + 0,25(C2) + 0,15(C3). The contribution C4 “Student progression”will be added to the overall mark only if the sum C1 + C2+ C3 is 5 or higher.(In any case, the maximum overall mark will be 10 points) Participation in “extra activities” willincrease the final mark. The student must attain a minimum of the45% of the maximum mark in contributions C1 and C2. If the overall mark is 5points or higher but C1 and C2 do not reach the 45% threshold, the final markwill be 4.5 points. In order to get the “no presentado” markstudents cannot attend to the laboratory classes In the “second opportunity” the formula 0,85(C1)+ 0,15(C2) will be used to calculate the overall mark, complying with the aforementionedminimum thresholds. The mark “matricula de honor” will begranted preferably to the students that have passed the subject in the firstopportunity. Attendance to laboratory practice classesis mandatory for part-time students (according to the UDC regulations). Forthose students, the contribution to the final marks is as follows: 85% of thefinal marks corresponds to the mixed text and the remaining 15% corresponds tothe laboratory practice. The marking system (percentages) will be the same forboth opportunities. The condition of “no persentado” will be granted to thosepart-time students who do not take the mixed text. Any case of |
