The students will acquire the basic knowledge about the physical environment that they will need to develop their career as biologists. The physical environment (the internal and external geological processes and the risks associated to them) constitutes the basis of ecosystems and biological communities.
Contingency plan
SCENARIO A: PANDEMIC OUTBREAK
1. Modifications to content
The contents will not be modified, but the field trip and laboratory practices will be adjusted to the limitations imposed by online teaching.
2. Methodologies
Teaching methodologies to be maintained
Lecture session
Seminar
Laboratory activities
Objective test
The methodologies will be adapted to a non-presential style. This means that lectures, seminars and if necessary laboratory activities will be adapted to an online delivery.
Teaching methodologies to be modified
The field trip will be replaced by an activity related to the study area, using videos and images, and the elaboration of a descriptive report.
3. Mechanisms for personalised attention to students Personalised online attention will be reinforced by means of arranged tutorials to be carried out preferably through Microsoft Teams. Moodle and e-mail will also be used.
4. Modifications in assessment
Online mid-term exams will be implemented, unless it is not possible to guarantee that the tests will be monitored. In this case, the continuous assessment of the theoretical part will be cancelled and the qualification will depend on the result of the final exams in January and/or July.
Assessment observations: For part-time students according to the "Norma que regula el régimen de dedicación de los estudiantes de grado en la UDC (arts. 2.3; 3. b y 4.5) (29/5/2012)", attendance to 80% of the course activities is compulsory. Students in this situation must request an appointment with the professors in advance to explain their case.
5. Modifications to the bibliography or webgraphy
None
SCENARIO B: OVERCROWDING
In the event of capacity problems in the spaces designated for face-to-face activities, additional spaces will be reserved in which students can follow the activities through the TEAMS platform. In the case of practical activities, the groups will be split to adapt to the capacity of the laboratory.
