The GUIDELINES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SAFE PRESENTIAL TEACHING COURSE 2020-2021 of the University of Santiago de Compostela (agreement of the Government Council of June 19, 2020) is followed.
Scenario 1: adapted normality.
A) Large group expository classes (“CE” in the time tables): Explanation of the theoretical foundations of each topic, complemented by general examples and resolution of exercises related to analytical techniques applied to the analysis of water, food and the environment. These classes will be carried out in person and students will have additional material on the virtual platform of the USC (Virtual Classroom).
B) Interactive classes in small groups (Seminars, “S” in the time tables) face-to-face: The Teacher will provide the student, periodically and well in advance, exercise bulletins and practical cases. The teacher will solve doubts about exercises and will debate with the students in person. The participation of the students is required, since the deliveries of the proposed exercises are part of the continuous evaluation. During the semester they will consider carrying out a small group work and will be exposed in the classroom.
C) Interactive practical laboratory classes: The classes that take place in a practical laboratory are included here. In them the student acquires the skills of working in a laboratory and consolidates the knowledge acquired in the exhibition classes. The student will carry out different experiments in which they will become familiar with the experimental application of the analytical concepts and methodologies explained. The student's personal work in this activity is much smaller. In support of practical teaching, the student will have a laboratory practice manual, which will include general considerations on the work in the laboratory, as well as a script for each of the practices to be carried out, which will consist of a brief presentation of the fundamentals, the methodology to be followed and the indication of the calculations to be made and results to be presented. The student must go to each practice session having carefully read the content of this manual. After an explanation from the teacher, the student will carry out individually or in small groups, the experiences and calculations necessary to achieve the objectives of the practice, collecting in the laboratory diary the development of the practice and the calculations and results that proceed, Presenting the results, which will be evaluated.
The admission and permanence of the students enrolled in the practice laboratory requires that they know the information and comply with the xerais Standards for the security of the practice laboratories, available on the website of the Faculty of Pharmacy.
The student will not be evaluated if he does not carry out and pass the laboratory practices.
Repetitive students, who have not carried out practices in the laboratory in the 2019-20 academic year, must carry out the practices in the 2020-21 academic year.
D) Tutorials in a very small group (“T” in the time tables): Scheduled tutorials, which will mean for each student 2 hours per semester in person. The teacher will guide the student both in global proposals and in specific questions related to the contents of the subject. Activities such as supervising supervised works, clarifying doubts about theory or practices, problems, exercises, readings or other proposed tasks are proposed. The presentation, exhibition, debate or comment of individual works or those carried out in small groups, through group forums of the Virtual Classroom or meetings through the Teams platform is also contemplated.
The deliveries, in scenario 1, will be face-to-face and / or telematic, following the instructions of the teacher and the Virtual Classroom.
Scenario 2: distancing.
A) Large group expository classes (“CE” in the time tables): Explanation of the theoretical foundations of each topic, complemented by general examples and resolution of exercises related to analytical techniques applied to the analysis of water, food and the environment. These classes will be carried out telematically, respecting the schedules programmed by the center, with basic didactic resources and new information and communication technologies: presentations through video call sessions through the Teams tool or with power point slides and audio additional explanations, group consultation forums, delivery of tasks, etc. through the Virtual Classroom of the USC.
B) Interactive classes in small groups (Seminars, “S” in the time tables) face-to-face: The Teacher will provide the student, periodically and well in advance, exercise bulletins and practical cases. The teacher will solve doubts about exercises and will debate with the students in person. The participation of the students is required, since the deliveries of the proposed exercises are part of the continuous evaluation. During the semester they will consider doing a small group work and will be exposed in the classroom.
C) Interactive practical laboratory classes: The classes that take place in a practical laboratory are included here. In them the student acquires the skills of working in a laboratory and consolidates the knowledge acquired in the exhibition classes. The student will carry out different experiments in which they will become familiar with the experimental application of the analytical concepts and methodologies explained. The student's personal work in this activity is much smaller. In support of practical teaching, the student will have a laboratory practice manual, which will include general considerations on the work in the laboratory, as well as a script for each of the practices to be carried out, which will consist of a brief presentation of the fundamentals, the methodology to be followed and the indication of the calculations to be made and results to be presented. The student must go to each practice session having carefully read the content of this manual. After an explanation from the teacher, the student will carry out individually or in small groups, the experiences and calculations necessary to achieve the objectives of the practice, collecting in the laboratory diary the development of the practice and the calculations and results that proceed, Presenting the results, which will be evaluated.
The student will not be evaluated if he does not carry out and pass the laboratory practices.
Repetitive students, who have not carried out practices in the laboratory in the 2019-20 academic year, must carry out the practices in the 2020-21 academic year.
D) Tutorials in a very small group ("T" in the time tables): Scheduled tutorials, which will mean for each student 2 hours per semester, preferably virtually. They will be carried out, respecting the schedules. The teacher will guide the student both in global proposals and in specific questions related to the contents of the subject. Activities such as supervising supervised works, clarifying doubts about theory or practices, problems, exercises, readings or other proposed tasks are proposed; as well as the presentation, exhibition, debate or comment of individual works or carried out in small groups through group forums of the Virtual Classroom or sessions through the Teams platform.
The deliveries, in scenario 2, will be face-to-face and / or telematic, following the instructions of the teacher and the Virtual Classroom.
Scenario 3: closure of the facilities.
A) Large group expository classes (“CE” in the time tables): Explanation of the theoretical foundations of each topic, complemented by general examples and resolution of exercises related to analytical techniques applied to the analysis of water, food and the environment. These classes will be carried out electronically, respecting the schedules, with basic teaching res ources and new information and communication technologies: presentations through the Teams platform or with additional explanatory audio power point slides, group consultation forums, homework assignments , etc. through the Virtual Classroom of the USC.
B) Interactive classes in small groups (Seminars, “S” in the time tables): they will be carried out electronically, respecting the schedules. The teacher will answer questions about exercises through group forums and / or Teams sessions, and the student will have to solve, present and discuss similar exercises within a reasonable time, through applications enabled in the Virtual Classroom or through other ICTs in the USC. The participation of the students is required, since the deliveries of the proposed exercises are part of the continuous evaluation. During the semester, a small group work will be considered and it will be exposed in a Teams group session.
C) Interactive laboratory practical classes: Given the impossibility of doing the laboratory practical classes in person, an alternative activity is proposed that will be considered within the continuous evaluation. In this activity the student consolidates the knowledge acquired in the exhibition classes, becoming familiar with the practical application of the analytical concepts and methodologies explained. Students will have in the Virtual classroom a laboratory practice manual, which will include general considerations, as well as a script for each of the practices, which will consist of a brief presentation of the fundamentals, the methodology to be followed and the indication of the calculations to be made and results to be presented. After carefully reading the content of this manual, students will be called to video call sessions, through Teams. The teacher will make an explanatory presentation and / or video presentation of each of the practices, facilitating the intervention of the students to comment and clarify doubts. The student will individually prepare a report answering questions related to each practice and the calculations necessary to achieve its objectives, using the simulated data and presenting the results. This report will be delivered through the Virtual Classroom.
Repeating students, who have not passed the laboratory practices in the 2019-20 academic year, must carry out the practical activity in the 2020-21 academic year.
D) Tutorials in a very small group (“T” in the time tables): Scheduled tutorials, which will mean for each student 2 hours per semester, virtually. The teacher will guide the student both in global proposals and in specific questions related to the contents of the subject. They will be carried out, respecting the schedules, but extending the terms of consultation and comments of doubts. Activities such as supervising supervised works, clarifying doubts about theory or practices, problems, exercises, readings or other proposed tasks are proposed; as well as the presentation, exhibition, debate or comment of individual works or carried out in small groups through group forums of the Virtual Classroom or sessions through the Teams platform.
The deliveries, in scenario 3, will be telematic, following the instructions of the teacher and the Virtual Classroom.
Scenario 1: adapted normality.

It will consist of a set of theoretical-practical questions and numerical exercises that cover the different contents of the subject assimilated with the competences (general and specific) and skills, representing 70% of the overall assessment.
- The distancing measures imposed may mean that it is necessary to reduce the size of the practice groups and with this the number of contact hours that will have to be complemented with non-contact activities such as explanations and elaboration of calculations that would be carried out through Teams sessions. The completion and passing of the evaluation of the interactive laboratory classes (face-to-face and telematic hours) will be essential to pass the subject. The mark of practices is 15% of the global mark of the subject. The practices will be evaluated on the basis of the following three items, each of which represents 5% of the overall evaluation: attendance and completion of the practices, presentation of results (via practice report) and practice exam. This exam will consist of questions related to the practices carried out.
- The interest and participation in the expository and interactive classes of seminar and tutorials and the performance of exercises proposed by the Teacher during the semester will be evaluated and, in addition, the completion and presentation of a work, the ability of oral and written expression will be evaluated. and the teacher / student debate, representing 15% of the overall assessment.
3. In the second opportunity, the same evaluation criteria, described in sections 1 and 2, are maintained as in the first opportunity.
The deliveries, in scenario 2, will be face-to-face and / or telematic, following the instructions of the teacher and the Virtual Classroom.

This exam will consist of questions related to the practices carried out.
- A TELEMATIC TEST OR NON-PRESENTIAL EXAM, which represents 70% of the final grade. This test will be carried out using the tools available on the Virtual Classroom platform and students will be provided with advance instructions to familiarize themselves with said tool. It will consist of a set of theoretical-practical questions and numerical exercises that cover the different contents of the subject assimilated with the different skills.
3. In the second opportunity, the same evaluation criteria, described in sections 1 and 2, are maintained as in the first opportunity.
The deliveries, in scenario 1, will be telematic, following the indications of the teacher and the Virtual Classroom.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and the review of qualifications will apply.
It is estimated that in addition to daily attendance, students must dedicate approximately 1-2 hours of personal work per each lecture or seminar hour.
- Attendance at the exhibition classes.
- Previous study and completion of the exercises and questions included in the bulletins that will be delivered prior to the completion of the seminar classes.
- Active participation of the student in the seminar classes and delivery of the exercises proposed by the Professor.
- It is essential to prepare the practices or alternative activity before entering the laboratory. First, the theoretical concepts necessary to carry out each experiment must be reviewed, and then the practice script must be read carefully, trying to understand the objectives and development of the proposed experiment. Any questions that may arise should be consulted with the teacher.
- Consultation of the recommended bibliography.
- Taking advantage of the hours of tutoring during the development of the subject. Those students who encounter significant difficulties when working on the proposed activities should attend the teacher's tutoring hours, in order for the teacher to analyze the problem and help solve those difficulties.
“Contingency Plan” includes the adaptations corresponding to the sections on teaching methodology and evaluation system foreseen for scenarios 2 and 3 for the purposes of future monitoring and accreditation of the degrees.
