Teaching methodology
The teaching will be adapted to the circumstances of the moment, depending on the scenario in which we find ourselves, teaching the expository and interactive classes face-to-face (scenario 1), combining the physical or telematic presence in whole or in part (scenario 2) or a fully telematic mode (scenario 3).
In the case of “remote” activities, the platforms used will be those available at the USC, or Moodle through the virtual classroom of the USC and the “Microsoft Teams” platform.
A)Expositive sessions: lectures of different format (theory, problems and/or examples, general guidelines…) The lecturer may use audiovisual and informatics media as a support. These lectures will follow the contents from the Reference Manual of the Course. Attendance is not compulsory but will be considered positively.
All schemes and presentations from these expositive sessions will be available to students through the USC Virtual Classroom. This platform will also be used to provide students with any other material necessary.
Scenario 1.- Adapted normality (without restrictions to physical attendance).
Expository teaching will be fundamentally face-to-face.
Scenario 2.- distancing (with partial restrictions on physical presence).
Expository teaching will be "remotely" in synchronous mode through MS Teams, respecting the scheduled time for subject classes.
Scenario 3.- Closing of the facilities (impossibility of teaching with physical presence).
Expository teaching will be "remotely" synchronously through MS Teams.
B) Interactive sessions- Seminars: The student will participate actively in different ways: hand-in exercises to the lecturer, solution of exercises, etc. It may also include assessment tests. Attendance is considered an element of continuous evaluation of the subject. The practical work will be presented in any of the scenarios through the virtual classroom.
Scenario 1.- Adapted normality (face-to-face teaching without restrictions, adopting the required security measures).
Interactive teaching will be fundamentally face-to-face.
Scenario 2.- distancing (with partial restrictions on physical attendance).
The interactive teaching of seminars will be face-to-face whenever possible and if not, the face-to-face and synchronous "remote" teaching will be combined.
Scenario 3.- Closure of the facilities (impossibility of teaching face-to-face).
Teaching will be completely telematic, synchronous mode with MS Teams and Moodle - USC virtual classroom
C) Practical computer sessions: they will take place in the informatics room. or telematically, if it were the case with a scenario that does not allow for physical presence. Here, the student will acquire and consolidate the skills related to the knowledge form the expositive lectures. The student will have a Practical session’s manual, which includes general considerations and a guide through each of the practical problems to be carried out and the results that should be presented at the end. The student must attend these sessions after having already prepared them, according to the established schedule. Before each practical computer session, the student must answer a preliminary test. After the lecturer explanation, the student will develop the practical work individually or in group and hand in exercises to the lecturer.
The practical work will be in all stages through the virtual classroom.
Scenario 1.- Adapted normality (face-to-face teaching without restrictions, adopting the required security measures).
The teaching of the practical sessions will be fundamentally face-to-face in the assigned computer room.
Scenario 2.- distancing (with partial restrictions on physical attendance).
The teaching of the practical sessions will be face-to-face whenever possible and, if not, it will be combined with physical and telematic attendance.
Scenario 3.- Closure of the facilities (impossibility of teaching face-to-face).
The practical classes with a computer will be completely telematic in synchronous mode with MS Teams and Moodle, the same as in scenario 2.
It is planned to use software for which the USC has campus licenses, so that all students will be able to download and install the necessary software on their own computers. Said software operates exclusively on MS Windows operating systems, and therefore, students must have use of a computer operating under that system.
D) Tutorial sessions: as programmed by the lectures in coordination with the Centre. In general, they consist of 1,5 h/student for each course and semester. Different activities, such as supervision of academic reports, solution to possible doubts from theory and practice, problems, exercises, presentation of individual or group assignments, etc. The lecturer may ask the students the hand-in of exercises before the tutorial. Attendance is compulsory.
Scenario 1 (classroom teaching without restrictions, other than the required security measures)
The tutorial sessions in the course they may be partially made online with MS Teams platform
Scenario 2: (cautionary distance)
All tutorial sessions in the course will be made online with MS Teams platform, if it is a faculty recomendation
Scenario 3: (confinement)
All tutorial sessions in the course will be made online with MS Teams platform
The evaluation of this matter will do by means of continuous evaluation combinate with the realization of a final examination.
The final examination, in the stage 1 will have face-to-face character, in the stage 2 will be preferably telematic and in the stage 3 will be exclusively of telematic character. The date of realisation of the examination will be the one who determine the centre.
For the cases of fraudulent realisation of exercises or proofs will be of application the collected in “Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión das cualificacións”
The participation to the expositive classes is not compulsory, although it will be valued positively. It will demand an assistance of 80% in the interactive classes of compulsory character: seminars, tutorial work and computer interactive practical. It is compulsory the assistance at least to one of the tutorial work programmed to take into account the continuous evaluation. Regarding the assistance to the practical classes is compulsory. The lacking will have to be justified, accepting those cases contemplated in the valid university rule.
1.1. Continuous assessment will have a weight percentage of the 40 % and will have evidence that will be able to state to his time of:
• Seminar and tutorial exercises: 20%.
Las Tutorías servirán para evaluar las siguientes competencias: CG4, CB3, CB4, CT5, CT7, CT8, CT9
Seminar and tutorial exercises evaluation competencies: CG1, CG2, CG3, CG4, CG5, CB3, CB4, CB5, CT7,
• Computer interactive practical work 20%. For the evaluation the items to evaluate will be the following:
Practical work
- Final exercises
Computer interactive practical work evaluation competences: CG1, CG2, CG3, CG4, CG5, CB3, CB4, CB5, CT1, CT4, CE1 CG5,
1.2. Final examination (EF), have a weight percentage of the 60 %.
Evaluation competences Final examination:
CG1, CG2, CG3, CG4, CG5 CB1, CB2, CB4, CB5, CT1, CT4, CT5,
The qualification of the student will not be inferior to that obtained in the final examination neither to the obtained after the continuous evaluation
Anyway, in order to pass this course, it is compulsory to have also passed the practical work. Those practical sessions not accomplished could be recovered, in accordance with the professor and the schedule, if that is possible, and only when there is a justifiable reason for the absence.
Those students from the previous course who passed the continues evaluation from the practical work, will preserve this qualification during a maximum period of two years. Thus, they are exempted from repeating the practical work (unless they wish to; in such case, by repeating the practical work, the old qualification will not be retained and the one obtained in the current course will prevail) but will be required to do the examination from that part too.
Scenarios may change throughout the course and alternate. However, the syllabus of the subject and the structure of the contents and activities do not have to be modified by it, so that the evaluation described is valid for any of the three scenarios that are considered possible throughout the course.
Scenario 1 (classroom teaching without restrictions, other than the required security measures)
CLASSROMM WORK HOURS PRESENCIAL
Expositive sessions: ……………..……………………………….20 h ….……… 100 %
Interactive sessions (seminars) ………………………….7 h ………….. 100 %
Computer interactive practical sessions: ………….10 h ………….. 100 %
Group Tutorials: …………………………………………………1 h ……………… 100 %
Individual Tutorials: …………………………………….0,5 h ..…………. 100 %
Exam and revision: ………………………………………….2 h ……………. 100 %
PERSONAL WORK: ………………………………………..72 h ………….. 100 %
In the case of scenario 2, the time is the same, but preferably it will not be in the classroom and in scenario 3, it will be exclusively telematically
It is assumed that the student of this course has already passed the previous courses on mathematics and statistics.
All materials and presentations from the lecturer during expositive sessions aim to facilitate and guide student’s learning, but they do not substitute reference books and other recommended literature neither they are a reference manual or a text for exams preparation. The student must prove during examinations that he/she has made a personal effort beyond those schemes and presentations from the expositive sessions.
Recommendations for online teaching:
• It is necessary to have a computer with a microphone and camera to be able to follow the online activities programmed along the course. For practical computer sessions (in the case these sessions will be developed also online) the computer must operate under MS windows because the software to be used does not support other operating systems.
• Improve the computer and digital competencies by means of the resources available in the USC
The teaching of this subject will be followed at all times “Bases para o desenvolvemento dunha docencia presencial segura no curso 2020-21” y el documento “ Directrices para o desenvolvemento dunha presencia segura, curso 20-21” de la USC.
Contingencies plan:
Methodology: Contingency plan for online teaching activities.
These activities will be developed in synchronous mode in accordance with the official calendar and timing established by the Centre. The digital resources available in the USc (Moodle and MS Teams) will be the tools employed in these activities.
Due to the contents of this course, as well to the methodologic approach employed, there will be no significant differences between the online and presential teaching.
For tutorial sessions as well to maintain a fluid communication channel between the students and with the teacher, the tools provided by the Moodle and MS Teams platforms will be used.
Evaluation process:
The evaluation system and process will be the same, no matter which of three possible scenarios. The only difference will affect the place to develop the evaluation process (classroom or online mode, according to the situation defined by the authorities). The digital tools available in the USC will be applied to develop any remote evaluation processes
