Training activities in the classroom with the lecturer
A) large group lectures ("L" in the timetable): Lessons taught with different possible formats (theory, problems and/or general examples, general guidelines on the subject,...). The lecturer can rely on audiovisual media and computers. Usually, the lectures follow the literature contents in the Teaching Guide of the subject. Attendance at these lectures will be evaluated.
B) interactive small group lectures (seminars, "S" in the timetable): theory and practice lectures issues related to theory, applications, exercises, problems, etc are proposed. (In these lectures, the student participates actively in various ways: he hands in exercises that have been given long in advance), solution of exercises in the classroom, etc. The lecturer may use audiovisual media and computers, but in general, students will not handle them. It can include screening tests. Attendance at these lectures will be evaluated.
C) practical laboratory: This includes lectures that take place in a laboratory. In these, students acquire the appropriate chemistry lab skills which consolidates the knowledge attained in the lectures. Student's personal work in this activity is greatly reduced. For these practices, the student will have a Practical Laboratory Guide, which includes general observations on the laboratory work and an outline of each of the experiments performed. The guide will consist of a brief presentation of the fundaments, methodology to follow, details on the calculations to be performed and results to be presented. The student will have to attend every laboratory session having previously read carefully the contents of this guide. At the beginning of each session, in a classroom, students meet for 5 or 10 minutes to answer some preliminary questions, that the lecturer will mark and take into account in the practical grading. Following an explanation by the lecturer, students will perform the experiments and calculations required to achieve the aims of the practical work, writing in their notebook the development, calculations and results of each experiment; they will hand in the results, which will be evaluated, the same day or at the next meeting.
The final report is an additional requirement for evaluation and the deadline is the date of the final examination.
Attendance is compulsory. Failure to attend must be properly excused, an illness, other exams and those cases falling within the existing university regulations will be accepted. The not made practice shall be recovered in accordance with the lecturer and within the scheduled time for the subject.
D) Tutorials in very small groups ("T" in the timetable): Tutorials scheduled by the lecturer and coordinated by the Centre. In general, each student will take two tutorials per semester and course. Additional work includes essays, answering questions about theory or practice, problems, exercises, reading or other proposed tasks, as well as presentations, debates or comments in small groups works. In many cases the lecturer will require students to hand the exercises before the tutorial. These will be included in the activities to be undertaken by students throughout the course and are in the Teaching Guide. Attendance at these lectures will be evaluated.
F) The student will find support material in the course website.
G) External Activities: A visit to a chemical factory will possibly be made during the semester. The purpose of this activity is to put the students in contact with the world of industry and observe the relationship between the knowledge acquired with its application outside of the purely academic world.

H) In the necessary cases the telematic teaching of face-to-face classes, seminars and tutorials will be carried out through the MS Teams platform. You can also use the tools available in the Virtual Classroom of the subject. Taking into account the indications contained in the document “Directrices para o desenvolvemento dunha docencia presencial segura no curso 2020-2021”, three possible scenarios are distinguished, each with its own teaching methodology:Scenario 1: adapted normality (without restrictions on physical attendance)
- In classroom lectures and interactive teaching will be fundamentally face-to-face, although in an exceptional and justified way telematic teaching may be combined with face-to-face teaching up to a maximum of 10% of the hours of the module, and in the case of practical teaching carried out by telematic means, up to 25% may be reached. The tutorials may be partially done electronically.
Scenario 2: distancing (with partial restrictions on physical attendance)
- In classroom teaching may be carried out entirely telematically (in teaching spaces where distancing is not possible), or 50% may be combined with face-to-face lectures, in those teaching spaces where distancing is possible. The laboratory sessions will be done individually.
- In the interactive teaching of seminars and laboratories, physical and telematic attendance may be combined, up to a maximum of 50% of the hours of the module in a telematic way, when the distance requires it.
- The tutorials will be preferably telematic.
Scenario 3: closure of the facilities (impossibility of teaching face-to-face)
The teaching (expository and interactive) will be completely telematic.
The tutorials will be exclusively telematic.
The attendance to lectures, seminars, tutorials and practicals will be subject to assessment. Absences must be properly documented, in accordance with the guidelines adopted by the University of Santiago de Compostela. Unattended laboratory sessions not accounted for will have to be re-taken by mutual agreement with the lecturer.
1. The assessment will consist of two parts:
1.1) Continuous assessment, which in turn consists of:
i. Attendance at lectures.
ii. Attendance and participation at seminars and tutorials.
iii. Exercises handed to the lecturer (Ej_entr)
iv. Exercises handed in at the seminars (Ej_sem) and tutorial work (Tut)
v. Laboratory Practical (Pract)
1.2) Final exam (EF)
2. Each subsection of section 1. shall account for the student's final grade as follows:
2.1) i +ii + iii + iv: 25%
v: 15%;
2.2) Final exam (FE) 60%
The final grade will be the highest between the result of this calculation and that obtained in the final exam.
3. For the evaluation of laboratory practicals, the items to evaluate are:
• Preliminary test
• Organization and neatness in the laboratory
• Experimental work
• Final Report
4. The final exam will include a first part, which will deal with aspects related to the theoretical issues of the course and a second part which will consider issues related to laboratory work.
5. Keeping in mind the indications contained in the document “Directrices para o desenvolvemento dunha docencia presencial segura no curso 2020-2021”, there are three possible scenarios,
Scenario 1: adapted normality (without restrictions on physical attendance)
- The final exams (first and second chance final exams and final laboratory test) will be face-to-face.
Scenario 2: distancing (with partial restrictions on physical attendance)
- The final exams (first and second chance final exams, and final laboratory test) will preferably be telematic, although they can be done in person if allowed by the regulations.
Scenario 3: closing down of the facilities (impossibility of teaching face-to-face)
- The final exams (first and second chance final exams and final laboratory test) will be telematic.
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises and tests, the provisions of the “Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións” will apply.
In the event that it is necessary to carry out telematic final exams (first and second chance final exams and final laboratory test), these will be carried out through the MS Teams platform and / or the Virtual Classroom of the subject.
The following competencies will be evaluated during the course development:

• It is important to attend the lectures.
• It is important to keep an "up to date" revision of the course.
• Once a chapter has been read in the reference manual, it is useful to summarize the important aspects, identifying fundamental points and the basic relationships that must be remembered, and making sure to know both its meaning and the conditions under which they may be applied.
• Problem solving is important for learning in this field. It may be helpful to follow these steps: (1) Make a list of all the relevant information provided by the heading. (2) Make a list of quantities to be calculated. (3) identify the equations to be used in solving the problem and apply them properly.
• Preparing the practical work is essential for the laboratory sessions. First, the important theoretical concepts of each experiment should be reviewed and then you should carefully read the outline of the practice, trying to understand the objectives and the development of the proposed experiment. Any doubts that arise must be discussed with the lecturer.
Those students repeating the module who have passed the laboratory demonstrations will keep their marks for a maximum of two academic years. Therefore, they will not have to take the laboratory sessions again, but they will attend the remaining interactive classes (seminars and tutorials) on equal terms with the other students.
In the necessary cases the telematic teaching of expository classes, seminars and tutorials will be carried out through the MS Teams platform. You can also use the tools available in the Virtual Classroom of the subject. Taking into account the indications contained in the document “Directrices para o desenvolvemento dunha docencia presencial segura no curso 2020-2021”, three possible scenarios are distinguished, each with its own teaching methodology:

The tutorials may be partially carried out electronically.
Scenario 2: distancing (with partial restrictions on physical attendance)
- Expository teaching may be carried out entirely telematically (in teaching spaces where distancing is not possible), or 50% be combined with face-to-face modality, in those teaching spaces where distancing is possible.
- In the interactive teaching of seminars and laboratories, physical and telematic attendance may be combined, up to a maximum of 50% of the hours of the subject in a telematic way, when the distance requires it.
- The tutorials will be preferably telematic.
Scenario 3: closure of the facilities (impossibility of teaching face-to-face)

Scenario 3: closing down of the facilities (impossibility of teaching face-to-face)
- The final exams (first and second chance final exams and final laboratory test) will be telematic.
Due to of fraudulent performance of exercises and tests, the provisions of the “Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións” will apply.
In the event that it is necessary to carry out telematic final exams (first and second chance final exams and final laboratory test), these will be carried out through the MS Teams platform and / or the Virtual Classroom of the subject.
