| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Classroom activity designed for relatively large groups of students (a maximum of sixty) in which the main contents of the course are presented. The lectures will require the participation of the students asking questions about the lecture and answering those questions raised by the instructor. It is advised that the students read in advance the literature associated to the topic that will be covered by the lecture.

| Workshop |
Classes where various activities will be carried out in which the student must actively participate.
- In this activity, bulletins of questions and problems will be solved, which will have previously been given to the students and that, once in class, the students will discuss with their classmates the answers to the different questions, establishing a debate.
- In the workshops, intermediate tests will also be carried out that combine questions of multiple response type, ordering, short answer, to complete, etc., which will help the student and the teacher to verify that the topics covered in previous classes were understood.
- Before attending the workshop, and in order to participate and be evaluated in it, the student must deliver the bulletin through the online platform available for the subject. |
| Laboratory practice |
It will focus on the synthesis and isolation of inorganic substances.
- Before starting the practices, the student will have to carry out an initial study that includes both preparatory and theoretical aspects associated with the experiments to be carried out, applying their knowledge and relying at all times on the bibliographic review of the proposed texts. The results and conclusions of this autonomous work must be presented in a personal interview with the professor in charge before beginning the actual practices in the laboratory, in order to determine if the degree of knowledge acquired is sufficient to allow them to proceed to carry out with safety and use the experimental work.
- During the development of the experiments, the student must demonstrate a responsible attitude with regard to safety regulations, as well as the rigorous and efficient characteristics of the scientific method.
- The student must prepare a laboratory notebook that will consist of three parts: summary of the previous theoretical preparation (carried out during the initial study), detailed description of the execution and development of the experiment (laboratory diary), and a final comment on the results obtained and the conclusions that can be drawn from them. |
| Multiple-choice questions |
A test will be carried out in the lectures at the end of each lesson, to evaluate the learning of the contents. This test will be made using platforms such as Moodle, Office 365 package tools and / or applications available on the Internet. For this purpose, questions will be asked as a direct question or an incomplete statement, and several options or response alternatives providing possible solutions, of which only one of them is valid, thus seeing the degree of assimilation of the contents of the course by the student. |
| Document analysis |
This methodology will help the student to work on relevant content for the subject matter, with activities specifically designed on the platforms for their analysis through the use of audiovisual and / or bibliographic documents (fragments of documentary reports or films, current news, photographs, articles, etc.) available to the student through the online platforms. |
