The subject is designed to promote the active learning of students. Theoretical classes, of voluntary assistance, are conceived as general introductions to each theme, which will be complemented with the rest of proposed activities. These activities are the individual study, the accomplishment of practical activities in laboratory and of a book of practices, the resolution of questions in seminars and the resolution of doubts of the matter through the tutorials. The individual study will be carried out with organized and detailed information provided by the teaching staff. The basis of this information will be the recommended basic bibliography, which will be complemented with additional information.
In the seminars the students will be distributed in working groups to which they will be proposed various practical qualifiable questions in which concepts and theoretical knowledge presented during the lectures will be applied. Attendance and realization of the seminars will be voluntary, the answer bulletins will be evaluated and their contents are subject of examination. Attendance tracking will be determined by participation list and with delivery bulletins at the end of each seminar.
Laboratory practices are organized into 5 compulsory sessions (except for repeaters) of 2.5 or 3.5 hours. Students must carry out a series of experimental tests, collect the results obtained, review the content provided by the teaching staff and analyze everything appropriately to answer the questions and exercises set out in the practical script, to prepare an individual practice memory for delivery. This practice report is mandatory and will be evaluated.
The tutorials, of voluntary/realization assistance, are conceived as a means of control, coordination and for students to raise doubts or questions. They will be especially useful as an element of feedback and self-evaluation of the tasks performed. Internet will also facilitate the contact of the students with the faculty through electronic consultations.
Scenario 1 (adapted normality). The expository classes and the seminars will be face-to-face and will be held in the classroom following the official schedule and calendar of the subject. In the seminars, the students must carry notes, books, calculator and all the teaching material that is needed. The problem bulletins made by each working group in the seminars will be delivered at the end of each session for evaluation.
The laboratory practices will consist of 3 compulsory sessions (except for the repeaters) face-to-face of 2.5 hours (practices 1 to 3). Students must carry out a series of experimental tests, collect the results obtained and analyze them appropriately. There will be 2 asynchronous virtual sessions of 3.5h each (practices 4 and 5) in which the students must view and analyze the material provided by the teachers in the Virtual Campus. The set of laboratory activities will be evaluated with the preparation of an individual practice report which must be delivered in print or through the Virtual Campus.
The first tutorial will be face-to-face following the calendar and the groups set by the Dean of the faculty. The rest of the tutorials, at the request of the students, may be in person or by telematic mechanisms to be agreed with the students (Virtual Campus and institutional institutional email).
Scenario 2 (distancing; partial restrictions on attendance). The expository classes and the seminars will be face-to-face and will be held in the classroom by turns of attendance of the students following the official schedule and calendar of the subject. Students not present in the classroom will follow the telematic transmission of the classes through the mechanisms enabled by the Faculty Dean's Office.
In the seminars, the students must carry notes, books, calculator and all the teaching material that is needed. The problem bulletins made by each working group in the seminars will be delivered at the end of each session for evaluation. In the seminars, the non-presential students will carry out the same problems and questions and at the end of the session, they will upload the answer bulletins to the corresponding section of the Virtual Campus.
The laboratory practices will consist of 3 compulsory sessions (except for the repeaters) face-to-face of 2.5 hours (practices 1 to 3). Students must carry out a series of experimental tests, collect the results obtained and analyze them appropriately. There will be 2 asynchronous virtual sessions of 3.5h each (practices 4 and 5) in which the students must view and analyze the material provided by the teachers in the Virtual Campus. The set of laboratory activities will be evaluated with the preparation of an individual practice report which must be delivered in print or through the Virtual Campus.
The first tutorial will be face-to-face following the calendar and the groups set by the Faculty Dean's Office. The rest of the tutorials, at the request of the students, may be in person or by telematic mechanisms to be agreed with the students (Virtual Campus and institutional email).
This teaching planning in scenario 2 will be maintained as long as your organization is compatible with the adoption of the measures established in the health protection protocols of the University of Santiago de Compostela in force at all times.
Scenario 3 (closure of facilities; impossibility of teaching with physical presence). All teaching activity will be non-face-to-face. The expository classes will be of asynchronous type using the presentations used in the classroom plus the complement files (videos, audios, etc.) for each topic that the teachers will contribute in the Virtual Campus.
The seminars will be held asynchronously by working groups based on the presentations with the problems and questions that will be available in the Virtual Campus. The students' response bulletins must be uploaded on a specific date to the Virtual Campus, in the section enabled for this purpose, for subsequent evaluation.
The entire set of laboratory practices require the asynchronous display and study of the materials that the teachers provide in the Virtual Campus of the subject, which will be necessary for the completion of the practice report, which will be delivered on Virtual Campus for evaluation.
For the first tutorial, a detailed presentation of the course content and development will be uploaded to the Virtual Campus for asynchronous query, which would be used in the classroom if it had been attended. The rest of the tutorials, at the request of the students, will be by asynchronous telematic mechanisms to be agreed with the students (Virtual Campus and institutional email).
COMMON RULES TO ALL SCENARIOS
For all teaching scenarios, the compulsory attendance and task delivery requirements will be the same as those stated at the beginning of this section.
Plagiarism and improper use of technologies in the performance of tasks or tests: in cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and review of grades will apply.
It is expressly forbidden for students to distribute the teaching material (both written and audiovisual) available on the Virtual Campus to people outside the course.
The criteria for evaluation are indicated in a table that can be seen in the following link.
Http://www.usc.es/gl/centros/bioloxia/criteriosavaliacion.html
Exam: CT1, CT2, CT5, CT9, CT11, CE1.c, CE2.a, CE2.b, CE2.d, CE2.e, CB1, CB4, CB5, CG1, CG3, CG5.
Practices: CT1, CT2, CT3, CT5, CT7, CT11, CE1.c, CE2.a, CE2.d, CE2.e, CB1, CB4, CB5, CG1, CG2, CG3, CG5.
Seminars: CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT7, CT9, CT11, CE2.a, CE2.d, CE2.e CB1, CB4, CB5, CG2, CG5.
Scenario 1. The continuous evaluation will suppose 35% of the final grade, distributed in 15% of the bulletins carried out in groups during the seminars and 20% of the memory of individual practices. There will be a compulsory face-to-face final exam that accounts for 65% of the final grade. The subject evaluated in the exam includes the contents of the expository classes and the seminars. In the second call, only the compulsory final exam will be repeated (which will also represent 65% of the final grade), keeping the grade obtained in the continuous evaluation.
Scenario 2. The continuous evaluation will suppose 35% of the final grade, distributed in 15% of the bulletins carried out in groups during the seminars (delivered in the classroom or electronically on the Virtual Campus). The remaining 20% will correspond to the individual practice report. There will be a telematic synchronous final exam through the compulsory Virtual Course (depending on the circumstances) which accounts for 65% of the final grade. The subject evaluated in the exam includes the contents of the expository classes and the seminars. In the second call, only the compulsory final exam will be repeated (which will also represent 65% of the final grade), keeping the grade obtained in the continuous evaluation.
Scenario 3. The continuous evaluation will suppose 35% of the final grade, distributed in 15% of the bulletins corresponding to the seminars (delivered in the corresponding period of each one). The remaining 20% will correspond to the individual practice report. In both cases, deliveries will be made electronically through the Virtual Campus. There will be a synchronous telematic final compulsory exam through the Virtual Course that accounts for 65% of the final grade. The subject evaluated in the exam includes the contents of the expository classes and the seminars. In the second call, only the compulsory final exam will be repeated (which will also represent 65% of the final grade), keeping the grade obtained in the continuous evaluation.
COMMON RULES TO ALL SCENARIOS
In all scenarios, the final exam is considered as a compulsory complementary test to the continuous evaluation for all students. In all scenarios as well, it will be necessary to achieve a minimum of 4 out of 10 in the final exam (in both calls) for the continuous assessment to be added. Otherwise, the final grade will be exclusively that of the exam. A minimum final grade of 5 out of 10 will be necessary to pass the course.
There will be no compensatory mechanisms for non-attendance and/or non-performance of some compulsory and/or evaluable activity.
In the case of repeating students: i) both the overall grade obtained in the continuous assessment (maximum 35% of the final weight) and the fulfillment of the obligation to attend and carry out the laboratory practices can be kept , from previous courses; ii) if practices or seminars are repeated they will have a weighting of 15% and 10%, respectively (keeping 10% of the tutoring work that was done in previous courses, if applicable); iii) if no tutoring work was done in that course, the assessment of practices and seminars is the same as in this guide; iiii) if practices and seminars are repeated, none of the continuous assessment grades from previous courses will be taken into account and their assessment will be governed by these standards. In any case, it will be necessary to take the compulsory final exam with a weight of 65% of the final grade and with the same criteria mentioned above for passing the subject.
Plagiarism and improper use of technologies in performing tasks or tests:
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and review of grades will apply.
It is expressly forbidden for students to distribute the teaching material (both written and audiovisual) available on the Virtual Campus to people outside the course.
Activities within the classroom: 58 hours
26 hours lectures
15 hours laboratory practice
10 hours of seminars
5 hours of tutorials
2 hours of exam
Activities out of the classroom: 92 hours
64 hours of individual study for the preparation of the subject; 20 hours to the elaboration of works, 8 hours to the elaboration of reports of practices.
Total work volume: 58 hours of classroom activities and 92 hours of personal work = 150 total hours (25 hours / ECTS x 6 ECTS = 150 hours).
Scenario 1 (adapted normality) and scenario 2 (distancing; partial restrictions on attendance). Continuous attendance and monitoring of the exhibition classes. Although attending and conducting the seminars is not compulsory, it is highly recommended since: i) a large part of the subject matter is reviewed; ii) is also subject of examination; iii) the answer bulletins are evaluated (a significant percentage of the final grade); iiii) the type of questions and issues covered are very similar to some that will appear on the exam. It is also important to carry out the problems and questions that do not give time to do in each seminar session and that will be made available to the students.
Use of the recommended bibliography and the material provided by the teaching staff.
Special attention in the laboratory practices for the optimal realization of the memory of practices. Careful preparation of the practice report.
Frequent reading and reflection on the subject taught, necessary for the integration of knowledge.
Make use of the tutorials and contact the teaching staff to solve any doubts and problems that arise in the study of the subject and to monitor the learning.
.Use of the recommended bibliography and the material provided. Frequent reading and reflection on the subject are needed. Integration of the different pieces of knowledge provided. Interest and attention on the new advances taking place in this discipline.
Scenario 3 (closure of the facilities; impossibility of teaching in person). Continuous visualization and study of the teaching material provided for the expository classes, following temporal guidelines as if they were face-to-face classes. In other words, do not let topics accumulate without reviewing and studying in order to study everything at the end of the course. The conduct of the seminars, although telematic, will be scheduled according to the foreseeable calendar in a face-to-face setting, so that the subject must be brought up to date.
Although the completion and delivery of the seminars is not mandatory, it is highly recommended since: i) a large part of the subject matter is reviewed; ii) is also subject of examination; iii) the answer bulletins are evaluated (a significant percentage of the final grade); iiii) the type of questions and issues covered are very similar to some that will appear on the exam. It is also important to carry out the problems and questions that do not allow time (according to the criteria that the teachers estimate to adapt them to the estimated duration of each seminar) to be done in each seminar session and that will be made available to the students.
Study and analysis of the teaching material of the laboratory practices for the optimal realization of the memory of practices. Careful preparation of the practice report.
Frequent reading and reflection on the subject taught, necessary for the integration of knowledge.
Make use of the tutorials and contact the teaching staff to solve any doubts and problems that arise in the study of the subject and to monitor the learning
