* Basic
-CB1: That students have demonstrated to possess and understand knowledge in a study area that starts from the base of general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that imply knowledge coming from the vanguard of its field of study.
-CB2: That student knows how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and have the skills that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
* General
-CG4: Ability to solve problems with initiative, decision making, creativity, critical reasoning and to communicate and transmit knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of Industrial Engineering in their specialty of Industrial Chemistry.
* Transversal
-CT1: Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
-CT4: Ability to work in a team.
-CT8: Ability to use information and communication technologies.
-CT10: Ability to solve problems
-CT14: Demonstrate critical reasoning
* Specific
-CE25: Knowledge about the main methods and techniques of chemical analysis.
Master classes (theory and seminars). These classes will be compulsory attendance. The teacher will explain the fundamental theoretical contents of each topic and its importance in the context of the subject. Type numerical problems will be solved, emphasizing the understanding of the resolution mechanism and highlighting the relationship of the problems with practical applications. The Virtual Campus will be used as support for teaching.
The classes will be developed interactively with the students, discussing with them the aspects that are more difficult or especially interesting of each topic.
Laboratory practices. They will be compulsory attendance. The practical sessions will be devoted to the realization of the corresponding practice and to the interpretation of the obtained results.
Tutorials They intend to carry out a close monitoring of the work developed by each student as well as clarify doubts and guide the student's personal work.
The student will have available before the beginning of each topic, to facilitate the monitoring of the class, the contents as well as the bulletins with questions and problems in the virtual USC.
- A single examination of the knowledge acquired throughout the course will be carried out. This exam (7 points) will mean 70% of the grade of the subject. Competencies evaluated: CB1, CB2, CG4, CT10, CE25.
-The qualification obtained in the realization and/or public presentation of the practical works of problems individually or in team and other academically supervised activities will suppose 15% of the qualification of the subject. Competencies evaluated: CT4, CT8, CT10.
-The presentation of a laboratory practice memory will represent 10% of the grade of the subject. Competencies evaluated: CT1, CT4, CT10.
-The qualification obtained for attendance and active participation in class and for the attendance to tutorials will suppose 5% of the qualification of the subject. Competencies evaluated: CT14.
-It is compulsory to attend all laboratory practices in order to pass 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.
-The final grade will be achieved as long as the test score is at least 3.5 (over 7.0). The positive evaluation of the work done through the rest of the activities will increase the grade of the exam until the final score.
“In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and reviewing grades” will apply.
It is considered that a student to achieve an adequate degree of monitoring and understanding of the subject should use in study and work of the contents of the subject about 83 hours for expository teaching (33 face to face hours), 28 hours for the completion of work and seminars (4 face-to-face hours), 4 hours for group tutorials (2 face to face hours) and 16 hours for preparing the practices and preparing the notebook (12 face to face hours). In addition, 19 hours will be necessary for the preparation and completion of the final exam (face to face hours).
- Assistance and take advantage of the classes
- Completion of the exercises proposed in the bulletins prior to their explanation in the seminars
- Consultation and management of the recommended bibliography
- Use of tutorial hours
The subject is taught in the two official languages of the autonomous community.
"In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the" Regulations for evaluating the academic performance of students and reviewing grades "will apply.
