In accordance with stage 1, 2 and 3, defined in the “Guidelines for or development of safe face-to-face teaching”:
-stage 1: expository and interactive classroom teaching.
-stage 2: face-to-face and virtual teaching coexist according to the calendar and schedules established by the center.
-stage 3: completely virtual teaching.
The teaching methodologies will be adapted to the three stages as follows:
Stage 1:
The methodology for teaching and learning in this field and its temporal development has been divided into: lectures, seminars, individual and / or group tutorials and exams.
The achievement of the basic training of students is based on 39 hours of lectures masterful type but with the active participation of students will be encouraged to continuously intervene. At these times, students receive explanations of concepts, ideas, description of processes, interpretation of plans, etc. Often, reading material related to the contents to exhibit at the lecture, to have them worked previously asked in advance.
For its applied nature, seminar 10 hours, compulsory attendance, are a fundamental part of matter, and this activity is mainly into three distinct types: debate and discussion seminars, workshops interpretation of plans and problems processes, and statement of work. Well. in the work and seminars shows the evolution of the student regarding the acquisition of these competences and objectives.
Related to this methodology, students will carry out a group work consisting of searching for information, preparing a report and presenting it on a subject related to the subject.
Individual tutorials will be conducted to clarify specific problems of each student and two hours of tutorials with small groups to work specific issues.
If possible, visits to process facilities will be made to observe on-site the applications of the knowledge acquired. These visits will be subject to the availability of financing and the possibility of being carried out by both the companies / facilities visited and the USC.
To support the development of teaching, the Virtual Campus of the USC will be used.
Stage 2 and 3:
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR REMOTE TEACHING ACTIVITIES:
The teaching activities would be carried out, synchronously and always according to the schedule established by the center, through the different telematic means available at the USC, preferably the Virtual Campus and Microsoft Teams.
Due to the nature and content of this subject, as well as the methodology used, the main difference between face-to-face teaching and remote teaching is that for the latter, the student must have a computer (or tablet, etc.) for connection to the internet, and for the exhibition of works, webcam and microphone.
For the management of calculation techniques, Microsoft Excel will be needed, which will be available to students in the corporate version of Office 365 through the domain @ rai.usc.es.
To carry out tutorials, as well as to maintain direct communication both between the students themselves and between them and the teacher, they can be done through the Virtual Campus forum, through Ms. Teams or by email.
In accordance with stage 1, 2 and 3, defined in the “Guidelines for or development of safe face-to-face teaching”, the evaluation system will be exactly the same for the three stages regardless of the type of teaching used (face-to-face or virtual), with the only difference that the evaluation activities will be carried out, as established by the competent authorities, either in person in the classroom or remotely using the telematic means available at the USC.
"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 evaluation system is continuous, with specific partial tests and monitoring of the learning with the approach of practical cases and activities to be solved, individually or in groups, mainly during the seminar hours. The student's final grade will consider both the result of the specific partial tests (50%) and their continuous evaluation (50%). This continuous evaluation includes both the work done by the student (25%) and the activities carried out in the classroom (25%).
Only students who have not carried out any of the evaluable activities will be able to obtain the final grade of Not Presented.
A) -FIRST OPPORTUNITY:
The evaluation will be carried out through Continuous Evaluation (50%) and specific partial tests (50%).
* A1) -Continuous Evaluation, the minimum required qualification will be 50% (2.5 points) and will consist of two sections:
1st) (compulsory) work: performed asynchronously. Rating: 25% (up to 2.5 points), minimum required rating: 1.25 points. Personal initiative, the ability to work as a team and to confront and solve problems that may arise, as well as the results achieved and their criticism, will be valued. The quality of the works presented and their presentation will be taken into account. Competences assessed: CG4 (10%), CG7 (10%), CT3 (10%), CT4 (10%), CT15 (20%), CT8 (10%), CE20 (15%), CE21 (15%) .
2nd) (compulsory) seminars: held synchronously. Rating: 25% (up to 2.5 points), minimum required rating: 1.25 points. In the seminars the student's interventions and the resolution of the problems and questions that arise will be valued. Competences assessed: CB2 (5%), CB3 (10%), CB4 (10%), CG1 (10%), CG6 (10%), CG7 (10%), CT1 (15%), CE20 (15%) , CE21 (15%).
Students who do not reach the minimum required grade will receive a final grade of Suspense and will be evaluated in the Second Chance as detailed in section (B2).
* A2) -Specific partial tests: synchronous. It is theoretical-practical tests on the contents of the subject. Rating 50% (up to 5 points), minimum required rating: 2.5 points. Competences assessed: CE20 (50%), CE21 (50%).
It is mandatory to achieve the minimum qualification required in each of the parts to pass the subject.
B) - SECOND OPPORTUNITY:
* B1) -Students who have achieved the minimum grade required in the Continuous Assessment will keep that grade and will take a Final Exam with the same characteristics as the specific partial tests (A2).
* B2) -Students who did not reach the minimum grade required in the Continuous Assessment will lose this grade, and must take a final exam, synchronous in nature, with the following characteristics:
Final exam: theoretical-practical test on all the contents of the subject. Rating 100%, minimum rating required 5 points. Competences assessed: CE20 (50%), CE21 (50%).
For monitoring, understanding and study of the contents is considered that the student must spend 42 hours for teaching expository, 10 hours for seminars, 15 hours to work and two hours for group tutorials.
In addition, 26 hours are necessary for the preparation and conduct of the examinations.
It is advisable to have previously taken the courses "Basic Operations", "Transport of Fluids", "Mass Transfer", "Heat Transfer", "Chemical Reaction Engineering" and "Environmental Technology",
In the event that the competent authorities establish remote teaching, it would be essential for the student to have their own computer and internet connection. It will also be useful for students to install the official application of the USC and Ms Teams on their mobile devices.
The subject is taught in both official languages of the community: Spanish and Galician.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
Applicable in the event that the competent authorities establish the need to carry out, in whole or in part, the teaching activities electronically or remotely.
