IN THE EVENT OF AN INCIDENT CAUSING THE CHANGE OF THE SCENARIO 1 DESCRIBED, SEE THE MODIFICATIONS SPECIFIED IN THE CONTINGENCY PLAN IN THE FINAL COMMENTS SECTION
Scenario 1 (adapted normality):
• Lectures supported by computer-based resources. Students should attend lectures and can take part in the debates. Presential lectures will require the application of hygiene measures determined by the authorities (hydrogel, mandatory mask, minimum safety distance). Exceptionally, classroom teaching may be combined with virtual teaching up to 10% of the total hours of the subject.
• Autonomous practical work, supervised by the professor. Practical work will be carried out in reduced-size groups, using the provided material as well as the guides/manuals provided and bibliography. Practical sessions will be carried out observing the hygiene measures determined by the authorities (hydrogel, mandatory mask, minimum safety distance).
• Submission of essays. Students will be able to submit an essay dealing abouth the practical contents. This essay will be defended during a time of 15 minutes in public session at the end of the semester.
• Independent study of the student. Students can make use of recommended bibliography and any other resources compiled during lectures and practical sessions.
• Tutorial classes. The aim of these sessions will be to deal with aspects relative to the preparation of the essay and to solve questions about the contents of the subject. Tutoring will be mainly face-to-face, nevertheless virtual sessions could be scheduled.
IN THE EVENT OF AN INCIDENT CAUSING THE CHANGE OF THE SCENARIO 1 DESCRIBED, SEE THE MODIFICATIONS SPECIFIED IN THE CONTINGENCY PLAN IN THE FINAL COMMENTS SECTION
- Regular attendance to lectures and compulsory attendance to programmed practical activities. The waiver of attendance to class is not applicable. The absence of one or more practical sessions involves the loss of the right to be examined and, therefore, the suspense of the subject.
- Final written exam will constitute 70% of the final mark. To pass, a minimum of 50% of correct answers will be required. This exam will be complementary to the continuous evaluation.
- Continuous evaluation during the practical lessons and the essay will represent 30% of the final mark.
In case of plagiarism, fraud or improper use of technologies for the realization of the telematic tests, the provisions of the “Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións” will apply.
PRESENTIAL WORK:
- Lectures: 24 hours
- Practical classes: 12 hours
- Tutorial classes: 1,5 hours
Total hours of presential work of the student: 37,5 hours
AUTONOMOUS WORK:
- Independent study: 27,5 hours
- Preparation of an essay: 4 hours
- Bibliographic review, library, etc.: 4 hours
- Examinations: 2 hours
Total hours of autonomous work of the student: 37,5 hours
TOTAL HOURS: 75
Attendance to lectures and practical sessions. Consultation of the material referred to in the basic and applied bibliography, strongly recommending access to the indicated web pages.
There is no dispensation for attending lectures or interactive classes.
Comments
CONTINGENCY PLAN IN THE EVENT OF AN INCIDENT CAUSING THE CHANGE TO SCENARIOS 2 OR 3.
Teaching Methodology:
Scenario 2 (distancing)
- Lectures delivered electronically and synchronously through platforms approved by the USC and / or recorded lectures uploaded to the Virtual Campus.
- Autonomous practical work in small groups and supervised by the lecturer. The duration of the practices may be reduced by up to 50%, depending on health recommendations, in order to enhance the security measures and maintain the same time slots for each group. In this case, telematic and synchronous training activities will complement the interactive teaching. These activities will be monitored by scheduling deliveries. Hygienic measures will be mandatory and reinforced in accordance with the recommendation of the authorities at the time (hydrogel, mandatory mask, safety distance or other).
- Students´ essays will be preferably defended in person by the authors for a period of 15 minutes at the end of the semester. If it were not possible because the sanitary measures of the moment prevented it, the defense would be carried out virtually, in the time slot assigned for that activity.
- Independent study of each student.
- Tutorials, preferably telematics.
Scenario 3 (closure of the faculty)
- Lectures delivered electronically and synchronously through platforms approved by the USC and / or recorded lectures uploaded to the Virtual Campus. Lectures will be complemented with the use of the Virtual Campus.
- Interactive teaching will take place virtually, keeping the scheduled times and using the Virtual Classroom as a support, as well as institutional platforms enabled. These activities will be monitored by scheduling deliveries or checking the lists of participants.
- Independent study of each student.
- Tutorials, preferably telematics.
Assessment system
Scenario 2 (distancing)
- Regular attendance for theoretical telematic lectures, and mandatory for programmed practical activities. In order to be able to take the exam, it is necessary to attend 100% of the practical sessions –both the face-to-face work and the work carried out in a telematic way through the enabled platforms–.
-The final examination of the subject will be carried out preferably in person by adopting the hygienic-sanitary measures established. It will be necessary to correctly answer 50% of the questions in order to pass. This exam will constitute 70% of the final mark. This exam will be complementary to the continuous evaluation.
- The continuous evaluation of the practical activity will be carried out by combining face-to-face and telematic tests, both synchronous and asynchronous. It will constitute 30% of the final mark.
In case of plagiarism, fraud or improper use of technologies for the realization of the telematic tests, the provisions of the “Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións” will apply.
Scenario 3 (closure of the faculty)
- Regular attendance for theoretical telematic lectures, and mandatory for programmed virtual practical activities. In order to be able to take the exam, it is necessary to attend 100% of the virtual practical activities carried out in a telematic way through the enabled platforms–.
- The final examination of the subject will be carried out telematically, and will weigh 70% of the overall score. It will be necessary to correctly answer 50% of the questions in order to pass. This exam will be complementary to the continuous evaluation and it will constitute 70% of the final mark.
- The continuous evaluation of the practical activity will be carried out through telematic tests and will provide the remaining 30% of the overall rating.
In case of plagiarism, fraud or improper use of technologies for the realization of the telematic tests, the provisions of the “Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións” will apply.
