MD1. Lectures to large groups ("L" in the time tables): They will take place in 12 sessions in a group where the theoretical concepts of the course will be presented with relevant examples. The teacher will be helped mainly by Power Point presentations. The students will have access to the copies of the presentations through the virtual teaching platforms, which will allow them to study the course contents prior to the lectures, favoring explanations and the follow-up of the course. Attendance at these classes is compulsory.
MD3. Interactive classes with small groups (Seminars, "S" in the time tables): Four sessions of theoretical / practical class will be held in small groups in which the students will present the work proposed by the teaching staff, which will be followed by the discussion. Students will have access to the proposed exercises and research articles in advance through the virtual teaching platforms. Attendance at these classes is compulsory.
MD3o. Interactive graphic visualization classes (Seminars, “SO” in the time tables): 3 sessions in small groups in which transition structures are visualized for the most important reactions in the course. Attendance at these classes is compulsory.
MD5. Blackboard tutorials in a very small group ("T" in the time tables): There will be two hours of tutorials programmed by the teacher and coordinated by the Center. Activities are proposed such as supervising directed work, clarifying doubts about theory or practices, problems, exercises, readings or other proposed tasks; as well as the presentation, exhibition, debate or comment of individual works or carried out in small groups. Attendance at these classes is compulsory.
The evaluation of this subject will be done through continuous evaluation and the completion of a final exam, access to the exam being conditioned to participation in at least 80% of the compulsory attendance-based teaching activities (seminars and tutorials).
The continuous assessment (L1) will have a weight of 25-45% in the grade of the subject and will consist of two components: small group interactive classes (seminars) and very small group interactive classes (tutorials). The seminars and tutorials will include the following elements: problem solving and practical cases (10-15%), completion of written assignments and reports (5-10%), oral presentation [(practical cases, problems), 5-10%] and oral questions during the course (5-10%).
The final exam (N2) will deal with all the contents of the subject.
The student's grade will be obtained as a result of applying the following formula:
Final mark = maximum (0.4 x N1 + 0.6 x N2)
N1 being the numerical mark corresponding to the continuous assessment (0-10 scale) and N2 the numerical mark of the final exam (0-10 scale).
