Scenarios 2 and 3: without changes
Scenarios 1:
A course will be activated in the Moodle platform of the Virtual Campus, which will contain information of interest for the student and different teaching materials.
The course will take place in hours of master class, using all media of which can be available and make the subject enjoyable and training for the student. Simulation practices polymer chains are made. The student will have all necessary for the study of the subject and for the conduct of laboratory practice material.
Scenarios 2 and 3: see contingency plan in the observations section
Scenario 1:
The evaluation of the subject is composed of a combination of:
Attendance at lectures and participation 25 %
Performing works and/or exercises 50 %
Oral presentation and defense of works 25 %
Exceptionally, a final exam may be done 100 %
Scenarios 2 and 3: see contingency plan in the observations section

Scenarios 2 and 3: without changes
Scenario 1
It recommends a continued study since the first lecture, the use of mentoring as a means of clarifying concepts and especially as a guide to learning orientation and abundant use of bibliographic material to consolidate and expand the material supplied class.
Scenarios 2 and 3: without changes
CONTINGENCY PLAN before a possible change of scenery:
1) Objectives: unchanged
2) Contents: unchanged
3) Bibliographic material: unchanged
4) Competencies: unchanged
5) Methodology:
Scenario 2:
Part of the teaching will be carried out telematically:
If the measures adopted by the health authorities allow it, the exposition classes will be developed telematically (via Teams, Virtual Campus) and the interactive ones in person respecting the official class schedule approved by the center.
If the limitation of capacity dictated by the health authorities does not allow all students to attend interactive classroom classes, you are will broadcast in streaming. Students will take turns attending in person classes. The number of students per shift will be determined by the rules in force at all times.
At the time of scheduling the subject activity, the face-to-face in the assessment tests will be prioritized over interactive classroom classes. If due to the inevitable rotation of the students, the assessment tests consuming an unbearable number of hours, the corresponding teaching would be delivered electronically.
The tutorials may be in person or telematic and will need an appointment.
Scenario 3:
Teaching will be telematic and classes will be held synchronously during official class time. It may be that, for supervening causes, some of the classes take place asynchronously, which will be communicated to the students with anteriority.
The tutorials will be telematic and will need an appointment
6) Evaluation system:
Scenarios 2 and 3:
The evaluable items will be the same as in scenario 1.
Evaluation activities that cannot be carried out in person, if they cannot be advanced or delayed, will be carried out electronically through the institutional tools, provided that they have measures to prevent fraud. Students may be required 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 Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and review of grades will apply.
7) Study time and individual work: unchanged.
8) Recommendations for the study of the subject: unchanged.
