Guest lecture / keynote speech A14 B3 C1 C2 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 answer or multiple election questions, during the lecture hours. The solution and presentation of a study case using Moodle are also possible. The marks corresponding to these activities will be added to the “problem solution” marks.

Laboratory practice A1 A4 A6 A9 A16 A17 A18 A20 A22 A23 A26 B1 B4 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.

Assessment comments

Students will be assessed
according to the following contributions.

C1 Mixed text. (Students must
attain a minimum of the 45% of the maximum mark to pass the subject)

C2 Laboratory practice. (Students
must attain a minimum of the 45% of the maximum mark to pass the subject.
Attendance to laboratory classes is mandatory)

C3 Keynote speech + problem
solving + short test.

C4 Student progression.

In order to pass the subject,
students have to attain a minimum mark of 5 points corresponding to the formula:

0,7(C1) + 0,15(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)

If the overall mark is lower
than 0,85(C1) + 0,15(C2) the mark will be replaced by the result of
such addition.

The student must attain a
minimum of the 45% of the maximum mark in contributions C1 and C2. If the
overall mark is 5 points or higher but C1 and C2 do not reach the 45%
threshold, the final mark will be 4.5 points.

In order to get the “no
presentado” mark students cannot attend to the laboratory classes

In the “second opportunity”,
students will repeat only of the mixed test. The remaining contributions to the
overall mark minimum thresholds and calculation formula will be the same.

The mark “matricula de honor”
will be granted preferably to the students that have passed the subject in the
first opportunity.

Attendance to laboratory
practice classes is mandatory for part-time students (according to the UDC
regulations). For those students, the contribution to the final marks is as
follows: 85% of the final marks corresponds to the mixed text and the remaining
15% corresponds to the laboratory practice. The marking system (percentages)
will be the same for both opportunities. The condition of “no persentado” will
be granted to those part-time students who do not take the mixed text.

Plagiarism in any test or activity will be sanctioned according to university regulations.
