1.Large groups lectures. (EC)
Classes given by the professor on the most relevant aspects of the subject. The teacher can count on the support of computer and audiovisual media. The USC virtual platform will serve as support and complement to the theoretical teaching.
Teaching will be taught in the classroom in person, with the current distribution of students.
2. Interactive classes in small groups. Seminars, (S)
Theoretical / practical classes dedicated to solving the bulletins of questions and problems that, previously, will be delivered to the students, and that will allow them to determine the degree of use of the personal work carried out. The student must actively participate in these classes. Evaluative tests can be included.
Teaching will be taught in the classroom in person. With groups of students less than 50.
3. Practical laboratory classes. Practices (L)
In these classes the student acquires the skills of a laboratory and consolidates the knowledge acquired in the theory classes. For these practices, the student will have a manual of laboratory practices, which will include general considerations about 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 an indication of the calculations to be carried out and results to be presented. Students must attend each practice session having carefully read the content of this manual and previously carrying out the necessary calculations to be able to carry out the experimental work. At the beginning of each practical session, the student must demonstrate that he understands the work to be carried out in the laboratory. Subsequently, the experimental part will be carried out in the laboratory, collecting in the laboratory diary the development of the practice and the calculations and results that proceed. The results of the practices, as well as the answers to the questions raised in the scripts, will be evaluated.
Attendance at these classes is compulsory. The absences must be justified by documentation. Practices not carried out will be made up, if possible, in agreement with the teacher and within the scheduled time for the subject.
The student will not be evaluated if he does not complete and pass the practices of the subject.
The laboratory practices will be carried out 100% synchronously and in person, in groups of 20 students.
4. Blackboard tutorials (T)
These tutorials are aimed at solving doubts about theory or practices, but they can also pose problems or exercises to be solved individually or in small work groups. They will be taught in person.
The teaching will be carried out according to scenario 1, without restrictions to physical presence, although in the contingency plan in the observations section, the possible scenarios 2 and 3 are detailed.
The student will not be evaluated if he does not complete and pass the laboratory practices.
The course is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical, which will be assessed separately.
The theoretical part of the subject will be evaluated with a final test, which will account for 80% of the final grade, will consist of short questions and problems aimed at the student to reason about the subject studied, in addition to questions related to laboratory practices. Assessment controls may be carried out throughout the course in order to help the student in following the subject. (Competences in the exam: C102, C103, C105, C108; CS03, CS04).
The evaluation of the theoretical test will be complemented with the assessment obtained from the student in the aspects related to the completion of the exercises and / or problems suggested by the teacher. The evaluation control tests that are carried out and the participation in the seminars and tutorials, as well as the performance of individual or group work, will be valued. In the final evaluation these aspects will account for 20% of the final grade. In order to access the qualification corresponding to the continuous assessment, attendance to the interactive classes is an essential requirement. Exceptionally, students who repeat the course will not have to attend interactive seminar classes, if they so request in writing to the teacher. In this case, the grade corresponding to the interactive classes of the previous course (s) will be maintained. (Competences in interactive classes: C101, C103, C105, C109; C110, CP01, CP02).
In the practices, the opinion obtained about the student in the work sessions in the laboratory and their notebook of practices will be taken into account. On the one hand, issues related to laboratory work will be taken into account and, on the other, those related to the preparation of the laboratory diary. The qualification of the practices will be "suitable" or "not suitable". Students not suitable in practices will have failed the subject. The student who does not complete all the practices will be classified as "Failure". Students who repeat the subject and who have the grade of PASS in practice, will not have to do it again, if they do not want to. (Competences in practices: Q02, Q03, Q04, Q06, Q07, CP01, CP02, CP103, CS01, CS03, CS04, CS08, CS12)
The student must obtain five points out of ten and the qualification of apt in the practices to pass the subject.
In the second call of the academic year, only the theoretical test will be carried out, keeping the grade corresponding to the continuous assessment obtained during the course. The maximum mark on which the exam will be graded will be the same as in the first call. The requirements of having carried out and approved the practices will also be maintained.

• It is advisable to attend the lectures.
• It is important to keep the study of the subject “up to date”.
• Once you have finished reading a topic in the reference manual, it is helpful to summarize the important points, identifying the basic equations to remember and making sure you know both their meaning and the conditions under which they can be applied.
• Problem solving is essential for learning this subject. It may be helpful to follow these steps: (1) Make a list of all the relevant information that the statement provides. (2) Make a list with the quantities to be calculated. (3) Identify the equations to use in solving the problem and apply them correctly.
• It is essential to prepare the practices before entering the laboratory. First, the important theoretical concepts should be reviewed in each experiment and then it is necessary to read the practice script carefully, trying to understand the objectives and development of the proposed experiment. Any questions that may arise should be consulted with the teacher
Contingency plan:
Methodology:
Teaching according to scenarios 2 and 3:
Scenario 2: distancing (with partial restrictions on physical presence).
2.1. Lectures in large groups: they will be taught completely electronically, making use of the virtual classroom, and / or Teams
2.2. Interactive seminar classes and tutorials: will be taught in the classroom
2.3. Laboratory practical classes: 50% synchronous classroom teaching in the laboratory and 50% virtual asynchronous practical classes, groups of 10 students
Scenario 3: closure of the facilities (impossibility of teaching face-to-face).
3.1. Lectures in large groups: they will be taught completely electronically, synchronously / asynchronously, making use of the virtual classroom and / or Teams.
3.2. Interactive classes of seminar and tutorials: they will be taught telematically, synchronous / asynchronous, using the virtual classroom, and / or Teams.
3.3. Practical laboratory classes: they will be taught electronically (virtual classroom, Teams), synchronous or asynchronous or a combination of both), if they are synchronous in groups of 20 students
Assessment system:
The valuation will be exactly the same regardless of the scenario. It will be essential to have passed the laboratory practices to be able to pass the subject in any case
Scenario 2: distancing (with partial restrictions on physical presence).
- In this case, the compulsory attendance to be eligible for continuous assessment is classroom and virtual attendance for those classes that could be taught online.
- Attendance at practical classes implies attendance at the laboratory and virtual classes if it is not possible to carry out all the practical sessions in the laboratory.
- The exams will be carried out in person / online depending on the health situation.
In the case of being telematic, they will be carried out through the virtual classroom, Teams or other platforms that the University enables for this purpose, although, and as indicated, the possibility of taking face-to-face exams will be valued whenever the regulations allow it. and the distancing can be fulfilled.
Scenario 3: closure of the facilities (impossibility of teaching face-to-face).
- In this case, deliveries made as attendance to those classes in which attendance is considered mandatory in order to be eligible for continuous assessment will be counted.
- Attendance at the practical classes implies the visualization of the possible alternative classes and the realization of the proposed substitute works.
- The exams will be telematic through the virtual classroom, Teams or other platforms that the University enables for this purpose.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises and tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the validation of academic performance for students and for the review of qualifications" shall apply
