Stages 2 and 3: see: CONTINGENCY PLAN in the “Observations” section.
Stages 1, 2 and 3:
CB2. That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
CB3. That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include a reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues.
CB4. That the students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to a specialized and non-specialized public.
CGI. To possess and understand the most important concepts, methods and results of the different branches of Physics, with historical perspective of their development.
CG2. To have the ability to gather and interpret data, information and relevant results, obtain conclusions and issue reasoned reports on scientific, technological or other issues that require the use of knowledge of Physics.
CG3. To apply both acquired theoretical and practical knowledge as well as the capacity for analysis and abstraction in the definition and posing of problems and in the search for solutions in both academic and professional contexts.
CT1. To acquire capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT2. To have capacity for organization and planning.
CT5. To develop critical reasoning
CE1. To have a good understanding of the most important physical theories, locating in their logical and mathematical structure their experimental support and the physical phenomenon that can be described through them.
CE2. To be able to clearly handle orders of magnitude and make appropriate estimates in order to develop a clear perception of situations that, although physically different, show some analogy, allowing the use of known solutions to new problems.
CE5. To be able to perform the essentials of a process or situation and establish a work model of it, as well as perform the required approaches in order to reduce the problem to a manageable level Demonstrate critical thinking to build physical models.
CE6. To understand and master the use of the mathematical and numerical methods most commonly used in Physics.
CE8. To be able to manage, search and use bibliography, as well as any source of relevant information and apply it to research projects, technical development of projects.
Stage 1:
The expository activity of the subject will consist of blackboard classes of theory and application examples, using in the exhibition the electronic cannon and the blackboard for auxiliary developments and clarifications. Mathematical developments will be largely ignored, referring the student to the bibliography and the notes published in the virtual classroom. The interactive activity will be based on the solution of previously proposed problems, seeking an agile development and qualifying the participation of each student.
Stages 2 and 3: see: CONTINGENCY PLAN in the “Observations” section.
Stage 1:
There will be a mandatory final exam, with theoretical and applied parts, requiring in it to explain the theoretical concepts that are applied. The lack of this justification may motivate the non-qualification (total or partial) of the exercise. Each part will be qualified separately, requiring the approved a minimum grade of 3 (out of 10) in each one. In the cases in which the grade of the continuous evaluation exceeds the grade of the final exemen, it will make a weighted average with it, being 60% the weight of the exam and 40% that of the continuous evaluation. In other cases, the Professor may take it into account in the final grade, but without the final grade being lower than the exam.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións” will apply.
Stages 2 and 3: see: CONTINGENCY PLAN in the “Observations” section.
Stages 1, 2 and 3:
The working time corresponding to the 4.5 credits of the subject is distributed as follows:
-Teaching time: 39 hours.
-Tutories: 3 hours.
-Time of personal work: 70.5.5 hours.
Stages 1, 2 and 3:
The understanding of this subject requires mastering the previous contents of Electromagnetism, and also a solid mathematical preparation, especially in field theory and tensor algebra. Poor mathematical training will mean a difficulty, if not the impossibility, to understand the developments of the expository classes.
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR A POSSIBLE CHANGE OF STAGE
1. Objectives: no changes.
2. Contents: no changes.
3. Bibliographic material:
At the time of approving this teaching program, the acquisition of bibliographic material in electronic format is being managed. The available funds and the access procedure will be announced in the virtual classroom.
4. Competence: no changes.
5. Metodology:
Stage 1: no changes.
Stage 2:
If the measures adopted by the health authorities allow it, the exposition classes will be carried out electronically (via Teams or Virtual Campus) and the interactive ones will be in attendance, respecting the official class schedule approved by the center.
If the limitation of capacity dictated by the health authorities does not allow all the students to attend the interactive classes, these will be broadcast in streaming.
At the time of scheduling the activity of the subject, the in attendance in the evaluation tests will be prioritized in front of the interactive classroom sessions. If, due to an inevitable turnover of the students, the continuous assessment tests consumed an unbearable number of hours, the corresponding teaching would be delivered electronically.
The tutorials may be face-to-face or telematic, always by appointment.
Stage 3:
Teaching will be telematic and classes will be held synchronously during official class time. It may happen that, due to unespected causes, the classes have to be carried out asynchronously, which will be communicated to the students well in advance.
The tutorials will be telematic and will require an appointment.
6. Evaluatión:
Stage 1: no changes.
Stages 2 and 3:
Evaluatiom activities that cannot be carried out in person, if they cannot be delayed, will be carried out electronically through the institutional tools in Office 365 and Moodle. In this case, the adoption of a series of measures will be required that will require the student to have a device with a microphone and a camera while there is no adequate assessment software. Students can be called for an interview to comment or explain part or all of the test.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións” will apply.
7. Study time and personal work: no changes.
8. Recommendations for the study of the subject: no changes.
