Training activities in the classroom with the lecturer
A) large group lectures ("E" in the timetable): Lessons taught with different possible formats (theory, problems and/or general examples, general guidelines on the subject, ...). The lecturer can rely on audiovisual media and computers.
B) interactive small group lectures (seminars, "S" in the timetable): theory and practice lectures issues related to theory, applications, exercises, problems, etc are proposed. (In these lectures, the student participates actively in various ways and he hands in exercises that have been given long in advance), solution of exercises in the classroom, etc. The lecturer may use audiovisual media and computers, but in general, students will not handle them. It can include screening tests.
C) practical laboratory: This includes lectures that take place in a laboratory. In these, students acquire the appropriate chemistry lab skills which consolidates the knowledge attained in the lectures. For these practices, the student will have a Practical Laboratory Guide, which includes general observations on the laboratory work and an outline of each of the experiments performed. The guide will consist of a brief presentation of the fundaments, methodology to follow, details on the calculations to be performed and results to be presented. The student will have to attend every laboratory session having previously read carefully the contents of this guide. Following an explanation by the lecturer, students will perform individually or in groups of two, the experiments and calculations required to achieve the aims of the practical work, writting in their notebook the development, calculations and results of each experiment; they will hand in the results, which will be evaluated, the same day or at the next meeting.
It is mandatory that attendance to the practical lectures must be performed only within the scheduled time for the laboratory sessions. Attendance is compulsory. Failure to attend must be properly excused, an illness, other exams and those cases falling within the existing university regulations will be accepted. The not made practice shall be recovered in accordance with the lecturer and within the scheduled time for the subject.
D) Tutorials in very small groups ("T" in the timetable): Tutorials scheduled by the lecturer and coordinated by the Centre. In general, each student will take two tutorials. Additional work includes essays, answering questions about theory or practice, problems, exercises, reading or other proposed tasks, as well as presentations, debates or comments in small groups works. In many cases the lecturer will require students to hand the exercises before the tutorial. These will be included in the activities to be undertaken by students throughout the course and are in the Teaching Guide.
Students must attend all the lectures pertaining to the group they are assigned to; only group changes properly accounted for will be allowed.
Scenario 1: adapted normality.
The expository and interactive teaching will be fundamentally face-to-face, although in some special circumstances and in a justified manner, face-to-face teaching will be combined with online learning sessions to a maximum of 10% of the hours of the module. In the case of teaching laboratory classes, distance learning will be applied to a maximum of 25% of the hours. The tutorials may be partially carried out online and the tasks submission to the teacher will be preferably online.
Scenario 2: distancing
Expository teaching may be carried out entirely telematically, in the event that distancing is not possible, or be combined up to 50% with face-to-face teaching in the event that distancing is not possible. In interactive seminar and laboratory teaching, face-to-face teaching and telematic teaching may be combined up to a maximum of 50% of the hours telematically, when distancing is not possible. The tutorials will be preferably telematic. The tasks submission will be exclusively virtual. The online teaching will be carried out through the virtual classroom and the "teams" platform.
Scenario 3: closure of the facilities.
Teaching will be completely telematic, with synchronous and asynchronous mechanisms. The tutorials will be held exclusively online. The tasks submission will be exclusively virtual. Online teaching will be carried out through the virtual classroom and the "teams" platform.
ATTENDANCE AT PRESENTIAL CLASSES: MASTER CLASSES, SEMINARS AND TUTORIALS, IS EVALUABLE. THE ASSISTANCE TO LABORATORY CLASSES IS OBLIGATORY. ABSENCES MUST BE DOCUMENTED FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES ADOPTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA. LABORATORY SESSIONS NOT CARRIED OUT FOR JUSTIFIED CAUSES, MUST BE CARRIED OUT AFTER CONSULTING THE TEACHER.
1 The assessment will consist of two parts:
1.1) Continuous assessment, which in turn consists of:
i. Attendance to the large group lectures
ii. Attendance and participation to workshops and tutorials
iii. Exercises given to the lecturer (Ej. entr)
iv. Exercises performed in the workshops (Ej.sem) and work performed in the tutorials (Tut)
v. Laboratory Experiments (Pract)
1.2) Final exam (FE)
2 . SUB-SECTIONS OF SECTION 1 WILL COUNT FOR THE FINAL NOTE OF THE STUDENT IN THE FOLLOWING WAY:
Scenario 1: adapted normality.
The final tests will be face-to-face.
2.1) I +II + III + IV: 25%
V: 15%
2.2) FINAL EXAM face-to-face format (EF) 60%
THE FINAL GRADE WILL BE THE GREATEST BETWEEN THE RESULT OF THIS CALCULATION AND THE ONE OBTAINED IN THE FINAL EXAM. To pass the subject, the student must obtain a minimum of 5 points, with the corresponding grade for the final exam equal to or greater than 4 points (scale from 0 to 10).
Scenario 2: distancing
The final tests will preferably be online.
2.1) I +II + III + IV: 25%
V: 15%
2.2) FINAL EXAM online format (EF) 60%
THE FINAL GRADE WILL BE THE GREATEST BETWEEN THE RESULT OF THIS CALCULATION AND THE ONE OBTAINED IN THE FINAL EXAM. To pass the subject, the student must obtain a minimum of 5 points, with the corresponding grade for the final exam equal to or greater than 4 points (scale from 0 to 10).
Scenario 3: closure of the facilities.
The final tests will exclusively be online.
2.1) I +II + III + IV: It will consist of a continuous evaluation with exercises given to the teacher before the seminars, online questionnaires and other telematic tests that the teacher considers necessary. 25%
V: 15%
2.2) FINAL EXAM online format (EF) 60%
3 For the evaluation of laboratory practicals, the items to evaluate are:
• Organization and neatness in the laboratory
• Experimental work
• Laboratory questions and final questions
• Written test on the practical contents
In order to obtain a passmark, the student must obtain a passmark for the laboratory sesion, 5 (on a 0-10 basis).
In scenario 3, attendance to virtual sessions will be evaluated, together with the evaluation of the submitted questionnaire.
4 The final exam deals with all the issues of the course.
Students who have successfully passed the laboratory demonstrations keep the marks for a maximum of two academic years. Therefore, they will not have to take the lab sessions again.
Those students who have not obtained a passmark in the laboratory demonstrations, but have passed the part pertaining to the classroom lectures, seminars and tutorials must do the laboratory session again, and they will keep the mark of the final exam, as well as the one corresponding to the continuous assessment (seminars and tutorials), for a maximum of two academic years. They do not have to attend the classroom lectures again.
Students having failed both the classroom and laboratory lectures are required to attend the course on the same terms as new students.
“In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and reviewing grades will apply”.
The following competencies will be evaluated during the course development:

• It is very important to attend the lectures and to keep an "up to date" revision of the course.
• Once a chapter has been read in the reference manual, it is useful to summarize the important aspects, identifying fundamental points and the basic relationships that must be remembered, and making sure to know both its meaning and the conditions under which they may be applied.
• Problem solving is important for learning in this field. It may be helpful to follow these steps: (1) Make a list of all the relevant information provided by the heading. (2) Make a list of quantities to be calculated. (3) identify the equations to be used in solving the problem and apply them properly.
• Preparing the practical work is essential for the laboratory sessions. First, the important theoretical concepts of each experiment should be reviewed and then you should carefully read the outline of the practice, trying to understand the objectives and the development of the proposed experiment. Any doubts that arise must be discussed with the lecturer.
Students who have successfully passed the laboratory demonstrations keep the marks for a maximum of two academic years. Therefore, they will not have to take the lab sessions again, but they will attend the other interactive classes (seminars and tutorials) on equal terms with the other students.
