Exceptionally, face-to-face master classes can be combined with virtual teaching up to 10% of the total hours of the subject.
CG1 , CG2, CT10, CR3, CR4, EA1, MC1 , MC2
Individualized tutorials: Personalized attention to the student to solve doubts and problems raised (mainly face-to-face, although virtual tutorials can be scheduled respecting the timetables listed in schedule)
CG1 , CG2, CT10, CR3, CR4, EA1, MC1 , MC2
• Practical classes: They constitute an application of what has been analyzed in theory, and will include:
a) Analysis of practical cases.
b) Problem solving and practical assumptions
Laboratory practices.
Computer classroom practices
Problem resolution.
Preparation and presentation of work: Scheduled delivery date (penultimate week of the 2nd semester)
CG1 , CG2, CT10, CR3, CR4, EA1, MC1 , MC2
At the end of each topic or group of topics, the resolution of exercises to be evaluated, will be proposed.
During the practical sessions / seminars, examples will first be solved and new exercises / problems will be proposed individually that must be solved in the classroom / practical laboratory for a limited time, these exercises will be subsequently evaluated and will allow continuous evaluation of the students.
CG1 , CG2, CT10, CR3, CR4, EA1, MC1 , MC2
Non-contact activities:
• Autonomous work and independent study of the students.
• Works: To be carried out on the topics that are proposed at the time.
• Resolution of the problem bulletin.
• Preparation of final evaluation test.
CG1 , CG2, CT10, CR3, CR4, EA1, MC1 , MC2
All teaching will be carried out with the support of ICT and with the systematic use of the Virtual Campus as a teaching support.
Regular attendance at the expositive sessions and compulsory at the scheduled practical activities. To take the exam, it is necessary to attend 100% of the practical sessions, including the work done in them.
The 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 practical exercises (50% of the exam grade). The total value of the final test will be 60% of the total grade for the course, with compulsory numerical achievement (5) on both sides. Competences assessed: EA1, CR3, CR4 and MC2.
Attendance to theoretical and practical classes will have an additional score of 20% 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 for both theoretical and practical attendance and control of the delivery of the previously proposed solved exercises. Competences assessed: CG2, CT5, CG10, CT4 and MC2
Completion / presentation of specific works of the subject (20% of the grade). Competences assessed: CG1, CT5 and CT10.
The criteria for the first call and second call for recovery are the same. Students who repeat do not have garded notes.
Compulsory and inexcusable teaching activities for students who have a waiver of attendance according to instruction 1/2017 of the General Secretariat, may be replaced by work assigned to students, which will have a weighting similar to that of the practice they replace.
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 rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións” will apply.
