Teaching methodology
Activities:
• Oral presentation by the teacher of the different topics

Teaching methodology 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): 1. Lectures with ICT support and the systematic use of the Virtual Campus as support teaching. 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. 2. Practical sessions: 100% presence observing the hygiene measures determined by the authorities (hydrogel, mandatory mask, minimum safety distance). In addition to the hygiene measures implemented by the authorities, ANY OTHER RULES OF THE SUBJECT ARE MANDATORY 3. Tutoring Tutoring will be mainly face-to-face, nevertheless virtual sessions can be scheduled but respecting the time slots shown in the 2020-21 course calendar.
Evaluation system
The knowledge evaluation will be carried out by means of a final written test which includes an evaluation of theoretical knowledge by means of objective assessment tests “miscellaneous test type and questions to be developed” (50% of the exam grade) and a part of exercises practical (50% of the exam grade). The total value of the final test 70% of the total grade for the course. Competences assessed: EA1, CR3, CR4, MC1, MC2 y CG2.
Practical sessions
a) Attendance to practical classes will have an additional score of 15% of the total final grade, based on attendance, active participation and attitude in them and the delivery of exercises / problems proposed in class. It will be carried out by means of a control sheet of both theoretical and practical assists and control of the delivery of the previously proposed solved exercises. Competences assessed: CG1, CT10 and MC2
b) Presentation of specific work on the subject (15% of the final grade). Competencies assessed CG8 y CT10
Total a + b = 30% of the total evaluation of the subject
To evaluate in the second opportunity, the same method is followed as in the first
To evaluate the repeating students the same methodology will be followed
For students with class exemption, the theory will be evaluated through assignments and the exam.
Attendance at the practical part is compulsory.

CONTINGENCY PLAN IN THE EVENT OF AN INCIDENT CAUSING THE CHANGE TO SCENARIOS 2 OR 3.
Scenario 2 (distancing)
Teaching Methodology:
• Lectures delivered electronically through Ms Teams, or any other platform designed for that purpose. These sessions will count with the Virtual Campus as support to the teaching.
• 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 training activities will complement the interactive teaching. 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).
• Independent study of each student.
• Tutorials, only telematics.
Assesment system:
• Regular attendance to the telematic lectures and mandatory to the programmed telematic 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 theoretical activity(70% of the final note) will be carried out in a synchronous telematic way, although if the sanitary norm allows it, this test can be carried out in person, adopting the regulated hygienic-sanitary measures. - The continuous evaluation of the practical activity (30% of the final note) will be carried out by the combination of tests and face-to-face and/or telematic tasks, both synchronous and asynchronous. It is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points (of 10) in each part (expository and practical) to proceed to calculate the final average rating. As mentioned, attendance at practical sessions is mandatory.
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 rendementoacadémico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións”will apply.
Scenario 3 (Closing of the Polytechnic School)
Assessment system:
•All teaching activities will be carried out telematically through platforms enabled for this purpose, complemented with the use of the Virtual Campus and respecting the schedules established in the academic calendar 2020-21.
•The requirement of regular attendance for theoretical telematic sessions is maintained, and mandatory for programmed virtual practical activities.
- The final examination of the theoretical part (70% of the final note) will be carried out in synchronous telematics. - The continuous evaluation of the practical activity (30% of the final note) will be carried out through telematic tests and tasks, both synchronous and asynchronous. It is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points (of 10) in each part (expository and practical) to proceed to calculate the final average rating. As mentioned, attendance at virtual practical sessions is mandatory.
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 rendementoacadémico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións”will apply.
