Plan de contingencia:
* Metodología de enseñanza: Dada la incerteza ocasionada por la situación sanitaria actual, parte de los contenidos podrán ser trabajados de manera autónoma por el/la estudiante, o inclusive podrán ser eliminados del temario que será objeto de evaluación; cualquiera de estas casuísticas será debidamente informada a través del Campus Virtual de la materia. En caso de requerirse docencia telemática (tanto expositiva como interactiva) podrán emplearse las herramientas Teams (para docencia síncrona) y el Campus Virtual (para docencia asíncrona). Las actividades llevadas a cabo a través del Campus Virtual serán objeto de seguimiento, realizando una programación de las entregas, controlando el nivel de participación del alumnado y otorgando una cualificación a las diferentes tareas que se planteen.
* Sistema de evaluación en escenarios 2 (docencia semipresencial) o 3 (docencia telemática):
- Evaluación de teoría: El examen final tendrá lugar de manera telemática por medio de la herramienta Cuestionario del Campus Virtual. Consistirá en una prueba objetiva de 30 ítems y dos opciones de respuesta (verdadero/falso). Se llevará a cabo de forma síncrona en la fecha que fije el Decanato (para los casos de realización fraudulenta de pruebas será de aplicación lo recogido en la "Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións"). Esta prueba objetiva tiene un peso en la nota final de un 60%.
- Evaluación de prácticas: Las actividades relativas a las sesiones interactivas y los trabajos planteados a través del aula virtual, ponderarán un 40% en caso de encontrarnos en los escenarios de docencia semipresencial o telemática (2 o 3). En estas circunstancias, las tareas interactivas realizadas previamente en escenario 1 (de forma presencial) tendrán el mismo peso que las tareas realizadas y entregadas por medio del Campus Virtual en escenarios 2 o 3.
