CB5 Students will be able to develop those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
Transversal Competences.
CT1 : Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT4 : Capacity for teamwork
CT9 : Ability to organize and plan .
Specific Competences.
CEOP1 - Knowledge of the processes and products of the petrochemical industry.
According to the document "Continxence plan for or development of teaching in the course of 2021/2022" three possible situations are established:
-Scenario 1. Adapted normality (without restrictions to physical presence).
-Scenario 2: Distancing (partial restrictions on physical presence).
-Scenario 3: Closure of the facilities.
*Scenario 1:
1. Classroom (theory, problem classes and seminars). The course consists of 6-ECTS credits. In this workload includes 47 contact hours (class attendance) working both theory (37 h) and seminars (10 h). During the seminars the teacher and the students solve the problems proposed, which allows the teacher to assess the capabilities and constraints of each and improve learning.
2. Bulletins. Throughout the course, coinciding approximately with the end of each topic will be proposed problem sets that students must solve and deliver a mandatory for correction as personal work. The completion of this work in your home will allow you to acquire the skills necessary for the final exam. Of course, the student teacher may consult with any questions or to request your help to complete it.
3. Group Tutoring. Throughout the course will be planned four tutorials in groups (10 people) to be used to discuss and resolve all doubts in groups seeking greater participation of the student.
4. Personalized tutorials. These who intends to carry out close monitoring of the work of each student. To do newsletters are an important tool for the teacher and the students, since after correction we will allow a close look at the strengths and weaknesses in each student's learning. At the end the teacher will answer questions and guide the personal work.
5. Digital platform (Moodle). University of Santiago de Compostela uses a digital platform in which the teacher will provide the necessary information for students (PowerPoint files, summaries of the issues, newsletters, practice scripts, etc.) via the Internet. This platform also enabled discussion forums and internal mail that provides the teacher-student communication.
6. Visits to process plants will be scheduled to observe in situ the application of the knowledge acquired. These field practices will be subject to funding availability.
All teaching activities will be face-to-face, unless the competent authorities establish the obligation to carry out, in whole or in part, such activities remotely (telematically).
Scenarios 2 and 3: see the Comments section.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and reviewing grades” will apply.
*Scenario 1:
The evaluation system will be continued based on three points:
• During the course coinciding with the end of each issue a bulletin of problems, the student / a must resolve and deliver to his teacher for correction will be proposed. The rating of these newsletters will constitute 20% of the final grade. All the basic and specific accounting respectively for 15% and 85% of the value of the note competencies will be evaluated.
• During the academic year will be proposed student / three works: two for the first block, an individual and a group, and one for the thematic block II to represent 20% of the final grade. All basic, transversal and specific competencies will be evaluated. The percentage of the note will be respectively 10%, 10% and 80%.
• Finally, a partial exam will be held on each topic which will include all the contents of these. These contents if they had evaluated using theoretical questions. The note will review 55% of the final grade. This paragraph has a peculiarity; the student will need a minimum grade. The student must correctly answer 45% of each of the tests (4.5 points out of 10 on the test). All specific competencies will be evaluated.
As can be seen, there is still 5% of the total. This percentage will be administered by the teacher and he will take into account the overall development effort and student/her in the knowledge of matter from the indication of the semester. All core competencies will be assessed.
In the case of not passing at the First Chance, the student will be evaluated in the Second Chance through a final exam of all course contents.
*Scenarios 2 and 3: see the Comments section.
The number of ECTS credits of the subject is 4.5
Lectures in large group 102h (37h in the classroom and 65h of personal work )
Interactive clases in small group (seminars) 40h (10h in the classroom and 30h of personal work)
Interactive clases in very small group (tutorials) 4h, 100% in the classroom
Exam 4h, 100% in the classroom
Total= 150h
Total working hours in the classroom = 55h
Total hours of personal work = 95h
In the event that the competent authorities establish remote teaching, it would be essential for the student to have their own computer and an internet connection. It will also be useful for students to install the official application of the USC and Microsoft Teams on their mobile devices.
The main thing is to study day by day.
The languages of this course are spanish and gallician.
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHING IN THE 2021/2022 COURSE:
If the competent authorities establish the need to carry out, totally or partially, the teaching and / or evaluation activities electronically or remotely.
* Teaching Methodology:
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 USC, preferably the Virtual Campus and Ms. Teams.
Due to the nature and content of this subject, as well as the methodology used, the main difference between classroom teaching (Scenario 1) and remote teaching (Scenario 2 and Scenario 3) is that for the latter, the student must have a computer (or tablet, etc.) and an Internet connection.
To carry out the assignments, you will need to use Word, which will be available to the student in the corporate version of Office 365 through the domain @ rai.usc.es.
In addition, a forum will be available on the Virtual Campus that will serve to maintain direct communication both between the students themselves and between them and the teacher.
Thus, individual tutorials can be carried out through the Virtual Campus forum, through Ms Teams or through email addressed to the teacher.
However, in Scenario 2 at least the interactive teaching (Seminars and Tutorials) will be face-to-face and synchronous.
*Evaluation system:
The evaluation system will be exactly the same for the three scenarios, 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 and synchronously (except Group Work) through the telematic means available at USC.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the validation of academic performance for two students and for the review of qualifications" shall apply.
