The applied methodology consists basically of theoretical classes (12 hours) type master classes but with the active participation of the student who will be encouraged to participate continuously, discussing with them the aspects that are more difficult or especially interesting of each topic.
In the seminars (4 hours) problems and specific activities of the subject will be proposed to be solved individually or in groups.
Individual tutorial sessions will be carried out to clarify particular problems of each student and programmed tutorial sessions with reduced groups (2 hours) to work on specific topics, mainly related to the individual or group activities proposed to the students.
The practical sessions (6 hours), of compulsory attendance, will be dedicated to the accomplishment of the corresponding practice and to the interpretation of the obtained results. At the end of the practical sessions, students must submit a practice report.
The virtual classroom of the subject will be used to provide students with any type of material, be it schemes and presentations used in the lectures or questions and exercises.
Contingency plan for remote teaching activities:
Scenario 1 (Adapted normality): All teaching activities (expository classes, seminars, tutorials and practices) will be carried out in person in the classrooms or laboratories assigned by the Faculty at the times published for this purpose.
Scenario 2 (Distance): In case of scenario 2, the teaching activities will be carried out as follows:
- Expository classes: They would be held, synchronously / asynchronously and always according to the schedule established by the center, through the different telematic means available at the USC, preferably the Virtual Campus and Ms Teams.
- Seminars and group tutorials: They will be carried out in person, in small groups in the classrooms assigned by the Faculty at the times published for this purpose.
- Practices: They will be developed in person, in small groups in the laboratories assigned by the Faculty at the times published for this purpose.
For personalized tutorials and attention to the student, as well as to maintain direct communication both between the students themselves and between them and the teacher, the contact will be made through the Virtual Campus, through Ms. Teams or by institutional email.
Scenario 3 (Closure of the facilities): All teaching will be completely virtual, with synchronous or asynchronous mechanisms. All activities will be conducted through the USC Virtual Campus, through the Ms. Teams platform and using the institutional email.
The evaluation of the learning will be done through the continuous evaluation with examination. The follow-up of the learning will be carried out through the activities to be solved individually and in a group by means of the sum of the continuous evaluation (degree of fulfilment of the activities programmed in seminars, tutorials and practices, as well as by their participation in the expository classes) that will compute a maximum of 35% of the total grade and the grade reached in the exam of the subject, which will be done according to the official calendar, which will be a maximum of 65%. Thus, the evaluation system will consist of the following sections:
• Jobs (individual and in group): Up to 1.5 points. Skills to evaluate: CT3, CT6, CT7
• Practice memory: up to 1 point. Skills to evaluate: CT1, CT3, CT7, CT14
• Class activities: up to 1 point. Skills to evaluate: CT7, CT11
• Final exam: up to 6.5 points. Skills to evaluate: CEOP3, CB6, CB9, CG1, CG2, CG9, CT7
Attendance to the practice sessions is mandatory, so the failure to attend all practice sessions will mean the impossibility of passing the subject.
The repeating students who will pass the part corresponding to the continuous evaluation of the laboratory of a previous edition, will keep the grade obtained in this section during an academic course, so they will be exempted (unless they wish) to attend the corresponding sessions of practices.
“In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and reviewing grades” will apply.
The evaluation system will be exactly the same regardless of the type of teaching used (face-to-face or virtual), with the only difference that the evaluation activities will be carried out, as established by the competent authorities, either in person in the classroom or remotely through the telematic means available at the USC
Subject consists of 3 ECTS credits. The total number of hours of work of the student is 75 hours, of which 32% are face-to-face and 68% are independent student work hours. The detailed distribution of the student's work time is as follows:
Magister classes:
* 12 classroom hours + 8 hours autonomous work = 20 hours total
Interactive seminar classes:
* 4 classroom hours + 3 hours autonomous work = 7 hours total
Interactive classes of practices:
* 6 classroom hours + 2 hours of practice memory = 8 hours total
Interactive tutorial classes:
* 2 classroom hours + 38 hours autonomous work = 40 hours total
- Attend the classroom and bring the subject up to date
- Participate actively, constructively and respectfully in the classes
- Prepare the contents that are working on the subject with the basic and complementary bibliography recommended
- Properly use the tutorials to know in detail the recommendations of the teacher and clarify any questions that arise in the learning process
- Consult regularly the virtual classroom of the subject and make use of it
The subject is taught in the two official languages of the autonomous community.
The attendance to expository and interactive classes is considered necessary to overcome the subject. The material that will be provided to the student is intended to facilitate and guide learning, but does not substitute the consultation and study of the recommended reference texts or constitute in themselves a reference manual for the preparation of the exam.
In order to pass the subject, it is first necessary to understand it and to handle the concepts correctly.
