Total hours of personal work 140
Testing and review: 9 presential / telematic contact hours.
The student must dedicate a total of 85 presential / telematic contact hours (including revisions and tutorials) and 140 hours of autonomous work (equivalents to 9,0 ECTS).
The student taking this course will acquire useful knowledge in other subjects as well as Mathematics or Computer Science. In the laboratory practices it is convenient to know how to use the Free Office spreadsheet to be able to do the data processing.
It is recommended to students who often see the virtual classroom of matter, where you will find a summary of the slides used by the lecturers in lectures , tests , links and information about the subject.
Students are advised not to try to memorize but to understand the reasoning and methodologies, trying to sort out the problems indicated in the worksheets and recommended books. It is important for the students to avoid studying only one or two days prior to the exam. With regard to laboratory practice sessions, the student should pay special attention to proper handling of equipment and data collection to avoid possible errors, with the consequent loss of time, when carrying out the treatment and analysis of data.
The course will be taught in Galician and the virtual campus of the USC will be used for all teaching, publishing, and delivering scripts work practices.
The admission and permanence of students enrolled in the practical laboratory requires that they know and comply with the rules included in the Protocol of basic safety training for experimental spaces of the School of Engineering, available in the safety section of its website, which you can access as follows:
1. Access your intranet.
2. Go to Documentation/Safety/Training.
3. Click on "Protolo de formación básica en materia de seguridad para espacios experimentales".
CONTIGENCE PLAN in the event of a possible change of scenario
1) Objectives: no change
2) Contents: no changes
3) Bibliographic material: no changes
4) Competencies: no changes
5) Methodology:
Scenario 2
The lectures will be telematic, maintaining the official class schedule, and synchronous. It is possible that, for some reason, some of the classes will be held asynchronously, which will be communicated to the students beforehand.
Interactive Seminars
If the measures adopted by the health authorities allow it, the interactive ones will be carried out in person, respecting the official class schedule approved by the centre.
The tutorials will be telematic and will require an appointment.
Laboratory practices
If the capacity limitation dictated by the health authorities allows it, the laboratory practices will be carried out in person, respecting the official class schedule approved by the centre. Distance measures imposed may mean that it is necessary to reduce the size of the practice groups and with that the number of hours in attendance to 50% of the practical hours of the subject, which will be complemented with non-attendance activities.
Scenario 3
The teaching will be telematic and the classes will take place synchronously in the official class schedule. It is possible that, for some reason, some of the classes will be held asynchronously, which will be communicated to the students beforehand.
Tutorials will be telematic and will require an appointment.
6) The assessment system will be the same regardless of the teaching modality used (face-to-face or virtual), with the only difference that the assessment activities will be carried out, as established by the competent authorities, either in the classroom or remotely through the telematic means available at the USC. In scenario 2, exams will preferably be face-to-face.
7) Personal study and work time: no changes
8) Recommendations for the study of the subject: no change
Recommendations for telematic teaching:
*A computer with a microphone and camera is required to carry out the telematic activities programmed during the course. It is recommended to acquire equipment with the MS Windows environment, since other platforms do not support some of the computer programs used in the subjects, available at the USC.
*Improve informational and digital skills with the resources available at the USC.
