Basic skills:
• CB6 - To have and understand knowledge that provides a basis or an opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context.
• CB7 - That the students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or little known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
• CB8 - That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
• CB9 - That the students know how to communicate their conclusions and understanding and the final reasoning that support them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
General skills:
• CG1 – Control information retrieval techniques related to primary and secondary information sources (including databases with the use of a computer) and critical information analysis, in Spanish and English.
• CG2 - Identify information from the scientific literature using the appropriate channels and integrate this information to raise and contextualize a research topic.
• CG5 - To use scientific terminology in English to argue the experimental results in the context of the Chemistry profession
• CG10 - Acquire the necessary training to be able to join future doctoral studies in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, or in related fields.
Transversal Competences:
• CT01 – Know how to propose a simple research project independently in Spanish and English.
• CT06 – Initiative for continuous training and tackling new scientific and technological challenges.
Specific Competences:
• CE05 – Evaluate the relationships and differences between the properties of materials on a macro, micro and nano scale.
• CE09 –Apply computational techniques, experimental design and statistical analysis for the preparation of nanostructured systems and the evaluation of their properties.
• CE10 – Understand the design and characterization stages of nanostructured systems for the release of active substances and / or encapsulation / confinement of biomarkers or harmful substances, evaluation of their efficacy and safety.
In accordance with the "Bases for the development of a safe face-to-face teaching in the academic year 2021-2022" and the "Guidelines for the development of a safe face-to-face teaching, course 2021-2022" established by the USC, the teaching methodology to be used and detailed in this section, corresponds to the so-called ordinary scenario "Scenario 1 - adapted normality (without restrictions on physical attendance)". Moodle (virtual class) and MS Teams platforms will be used. Modifications to this methodology result from the occurrence of extraordinary situations: (i) Scenario 2 - distancing (with partial restrictions on physical attendance); or (ii) Scenario 3 - closure of the facilities (impossibility of teaching face-to-face); are indicated in the comments section (CONTINGENCY PLANS) of the program.
-Theoretical classes with student participation
-Discussion of practical cases in seminars with the support of computers and whiteboard
-Problem-based learning
-Oral presentations of previously prepared topics, followed by debate with participation of students and teachers
-Attendance at conferences or round tables
- Written exam on the contents of the subject (60% of the marks). The exam of the subject will consist of short answer questions or tests and / or problems
- Active participation in seminars, practical classes and/or oral presentations (40% of the marks). Active participation in seminars and laboratory practices will be evaluated. This evaluation will be carried out by solving questions and problems raised in class, the presentation of works, evaluation tests and/or the participation in the debates.

CONTINGENCY PLANS
Scenario 1: adapted normality (no restrictions on physical attendance).
• Lectures and interactive lessons will be given under physical attendance modality. Exceptionally, on-line attendance will be implemented up to a 10% of the subject hours. For laboratory classes, this maximum limit might reach 25%.
• Tutorships might be partially given on-line.
• Final exams will be under physical attendance modality.
Scenario 2 - social distancing (partial restrictions to physical attendance).
• The teaching can be carried out in two modalities, under physical presence (for small groups), or combined with 50% physical presence and 50% telematics, in those teaching spaces in which distancing is possible. As for interactive lessons (seminars and laboratories), physical and on-line attendance might combine up to a 50% on-line, if required.
• Tutorships will be entirely face-to-face (if distancing is possible) or combined 50% with online classes (if face-to-face is not possible).
• Final exams will preferentially be in-person.
Scenario 3: closed facilities (no physical attendance).
• All classes will be on-line, either under synchronous or asynchronous formats.
• Tutorships will exclusively be on-line.
• Final exams will exclusively be on-line.
For the three sceneries, on-line classes will be given with MS Teams and Moodle.
In case of exercises or test realized by dishonest means, the "Evaluation rules of students’ academic performance and qualifications" will be of application.
