Theory class (1):

The main objectives of the subject will be clearly stated, the subject contents will be explained and problems, that help students to better understand the meaning of the concepts, will be resolved.

Classroom practices (2):

Resolution of issues and problems individually or in groups led by the lecturer.

Laboratory practices (3):

Experimental laboratory activities related to the subject, developed in the laboratory under the supervision of the lecturer.

Evaluation and training activities:

Two tests of individual assessment will be carried out in each semester.

Evaluation questionnaires are supplied to the students through the virtual classroom.



(1) It will allow the acquisition of skills: G-3 G-5, S-1, S-2, S-3, S-4 and S-5.

It will be made available to students the material necessary for their understanding.

(2) It will allow the acquisition of skills: G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4, G-5, G-6, S-1, S-2, S-3, S-4 and S -5.

(3) It will allow the acquisition of skills:: G-2, G-3, G-4, G-5, G-6, S-5 y S-6.

In this subject the system of continuous assessment is used. It will consist of:

1.- Two tests of individual assessment in each quarter. Each test will consist of a written exam including theoretical issues (concepts, definitions, etc), and theoretical and practical questions related to the application of theoretical knowledge.

One of the tests will be done in the middle of the four-month period (mid-term test) and will be liberatory if the student earns a grade of 6.5/10. At the end of the quarter a second test will be held in the period set in the academic calendar of the center. The student will pass this test with a minimum grade of 5/10 (for both students who have liberated matter in the mid-term test or not).

The computation of the tests in the final grade will be:

- If the student liberates matter in mid-term tests, 20% each.

- If the student does not reach the 6.5/10 score in the mid-term tests, and therefore does not liberate matter, the exam at the end of the quarter will be the 40% of the final mark.

2.- Laboratory practices: attitude, reports and knowledge examination will be assessed at the end of the practices. They will be the 20% of the final mark.

Students will have the right to be assessed through the final assessment system regardless of whether or not they have participated in the continuous assessment system. To this end, the student must submit in writing to the lecturer responsible for the subject the waiver of the continuous assessment, for which he/she will have a period of 18 weeks from the beginning of the course according to the academic calendar of the center. The final assessment for the students who did not carry out the continuous assessment will consist of:

1.- Carry out a laboratory practice to evaluate the learning outcome of the subject related to the application of experimental techniques, or make the practices during the course, the reports and the exam (20%).

2.- Take the final written test consisting of a written exam of theory and problems (80%).

Students may submit their renouncement to the call by a letter to the lecturer who teaches the subject within a period to be at least one month before the date of completion of the teaching period of the corresponding subject.

NOTE: To pass the subject it is necessary to overcome both the laboratory practices and the written examination of theory and problems.

Passed quarters are saved until the extraordinary call.

The laboratory practices can be saved for the next academic year if the student has passed the practical part and not the theoretical part of the subject. The student who wants to save them would have to use a call.
