See the contingency plan in the comments section below
Scenario 1:
Exam 50%
Reports and other activities 45%
Individualized tutorials 5%
Scenarios 2 and 3: No changes
See the contingency plan in the comments section below
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the following will apply to the provisions of the "Regulations for evaluating students' academic performance and reviewing grades":
"Article 16. Fraudulent performance of exercises or tests.
The fraudulent performance of any exercise or test required in the evaluation of a subject will imply the qualification of failed in the corresponding call, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be followed against the offending student. It is considered fraudulent, among other things, the realization of plagiarized works or obtained from sources accessible to the public without re-elaboration or reinterpretation and without citations to the authors and the sources ”.
Scenario 1:
Main lectures 13 hours
Interactive laboratory classes 4 hours
Interactive teaching Seminars 3 hours
Group tutoring 1 hour
Individualized tutoring 1 hour
Exam and review 2 hours
Personal work of the student and other activities 51 hours
Scenarios 2 and 3: No changes
Scenario 1:
Attendance and active participation in class is highly recommended.
Scenarios 2 and 3: No changes
CONTINGENCY PLAN in the case of a possible change of scenario:
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 expository classes will be carried out electronically (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 face-to-face
classes, these will be broadcast in streaming. Students will take turns attending face-to-face classes. The number of
students per shift will be conditioned by the rules in force at all times.

At the time of scheduling the activity of the subject, priority will be given to face-to-face assessment tests over the faceto-
face interactive classes. If, due to the inevitable rotation of the students, the assessment tests consumed an
unbearable number of hours, the corresponding teaching would be delivered electronically.
The tutorials may be face-to-face 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, due to
unsuccessful causes, some of the classes take place asynchronously, which will be communicated to the students in
advance.
The tutorials will be telematic and will need an appointment
6) Evaluation system
Scenarios 2 and 3:
The evaluation activities that cannot be carried out in person, if they cannot be postponed, will be carried out
electronically using the institutional tools in Office 365 and Moodle (Teams and Virtual Campus). In this case, it will
require the adoption of measures that could require that the student have a device with a microphone and camera while
there is no adequate assessment software. Students may be called for an interview to comment or explain part or all of
the test.
7) Study time and personal work: unchanged.
8) Recommendations for the study of the subject: unchanged.
