Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Workshop A7 B4 B6 B8 B9 B10 C3 Both the responses of the students and their individual or group participation in the corresponding face-to-face activities will be graded. Occasionally, and at the teacher's request, students must present problem sets that can also be evaluated. 15
Laboratory practice A3 A6 A8 B4 B7 B9 B10 C3 C9 The following aspects of work in the laboratory will be evaluated:
- Organization of work and safety.
- Attitude, scientific curiosity and degree of involvement in the work.
- Quality in the interpretation of the results.
- Quality of the final report (laboratory notebook).

Mixed objective/subjective test A3 A6 B3 B7 It will consist of a test on theoretical content. It will consist of both development questions and multiple choice questions and problems that will be similar to those presented throughout the course. The minimum score required to pass this test is 5 points out of 10. 55
 
Assessment comments

The course will be divided into three parts: one focused on the study of spatial symmetry and spatial symmetry groups, another will address the physical and optical properties of crystals, and the third on the study of crystals by X-ray diffraction. Each of these parts will have a third of the percentage of each mentioned activity assigned in the final grade.


To pass the subject, it is an essential requirement to obtain a minimum score of 5 points out of a maximum of 10 in the total calculation. In the case of the 'Mixed Test', the minimum score will be 5 out of 10, and in the cases of 'Laboratory Practices' and 'Workshop', it will be 4.6 out of 10. These scales are maintained for each of the three parts in which the subject is divided. Otherwise, the subject will not be passed. In the event that the average grade among all the activities is greater than 5, but any of the evaluable activities has not been passed with the previously indicated grades, the grade that will appear in the minutes will be 4. Once all the activities have been passed, the final grade will be calculated as follows: the 'Mixed Test' will account for 55% of the final grade, the 'Laboratory Practices' will account for 30% of the final grade, and the resolution of 'Workshop' problems will contribute with the remaining 15%. Attendance to workshop classes and laboratory practices, and the delivery of problems are mandatory to be evaluated. Unjustified absence from one of the laboratory sessions, or from a small group activity will mean disqualification from the course. The student will be declared NOT PRESENTED only if he does not attend any of the activities whose evaluation represents more than 10% of the final grade.

Honors will only be awarded to students who have been evaluated during the course and have passed the corresponding evaluation on either of the two opportunities, until reaching the maximum number of Honors possible according to the institution's regulations.

In the calls for June (first opportunity) and July (second opportunity) it will be evaluated in the same way (percentages). Students with recognition of part-time dedication will not have the obligation to attend theoretical classes or activities in small groups, although their attendance at practices will be mandatory. The percentage of the qualification corresponding to the small group activities will be assimilated to the qualification of the mixed test both in the first and in the second opportunity.

During the test, on either occasion, except as otherwise indicated, the use of any device with Internet access is prohibited. If, during the practical test, there is evidence of the unauthorized use of these devices, the student will be expelled from the classroom, and the procedure will be followed according to Law 3/2022, of February 24, on university coexistence and disciplinary regulations of the UDC student body. Fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply a failing grade in the call in which it is committed: the student will be graded with "fail" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call for the course academic, whether the commission of the offense occurs on the first opportunity or on the second. For this, their qualification will be modified in the first opportunity record, if necessary.

In the extraordinary call for December, the evaluation criteria of the teaching guide for the 2022-23 academic year will be applied.
