4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Large group lectures
During the hours of theory classroom teachers inform students about the course content. To do this, previously the program will be provided for each topic so that the student can follow the development of the subject. At the end of each topic, the teacher will make a brief summary of what has been studied.

During the lectures will enhance student participation, trying to be relaxed climate and raising questions by the teacher.

Also one or two lectures will be given on topics related to the knowledge learned in the course. Following a discussion of the conference will be held. Finally, students will conduct a conference report.

 

Classes in groups of practices

The first day of class, a lab notebook which includes the procedures of different practices will be delivered to be undertaken by the student in the lab, and a summary of seminars to be performed.

During the early days teachers taught seminars on the management of analytical instrumentation and data processing.

Each day that students do a practice, the dicentes will read everything about the practice to perform.

Finally, the student will make all entries it deems appropriate concerning the practice and then develop a lab notebook that will be delivered at the end of the completion of all laboratory work.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

The final grade for the subject was calculated according to the following sections:

  • Written exam (40%): It consists of questions of theory and practice
  • Laboratory work (40%): Development of lab notebook
  • Student's personal work (10%). classroom activities, seminars or through the Virtual Learning Platform of the University of Jaén
  • Attendance and participation in class (10%)
