Theoretical techniques will address to be used in the implementation and optimization of the planning , programming and control of the production , using the methodology of lecture , to be supported in the practical sessions with the approach and resolution by the students of the case studies and illustrative examples proposed by the teacher , which will indicate the bibliography that is most appropriate for each of the sections of the course .

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

S2 - 'Concepts of matter' appearance.

The final exam, whose total weight as endpoint is 80%, will consist of two distinct parts: theory and problems. The theoretical part will have a weight of 30% on the final exam grade , while the practical part will result in a 70% , due to high operational and tactical content for the subject. Will be necessary to approve both parts by separate to overcome the test . Some of the exercises that make up the exam may have qualifying consideration , in the sense that it will be necessary to have a positive assessment of it as a necessary condition to approve the practical portion of the examination and , consequently , get positive in the whole of the assessment . The use of mobile phones during the examination is expressly prohibited . By "S2 - concepts of matter", will be assessed the specific skills CE09 and CE10 CE13 , besides CG01 , CG05 , CG08 , CG09 and CT05 , competencies by obtaining all of the results of learning ( 10.1 , 10.2 , 10.3 and 10.4) indicated in paragraph 4 of this guide .

S3 - "Realization of works , cases and exercises" appearance.

The remaining 20% , as shown in the section "Evaluation system" , will correspond to the evaluation of works and collections of cases proposed by the Professor , whose realization will be accumulating score depending on the degree of resolution of the same . Minimum note in this section is not required . By "S3 - realization of works , cases and exercises" will evaluate the acquisition CE09 , CE10 and CE13 specific competences , as well as competences CG01 CG03 , CG04 , CG05 , CG06 , CG07, CG08 , CG09 , CG10 , CG11 , CT03 , CT04 and CT05 ; and all through the results of learning 10.1 , 10.2 , 10.3 and 10.4 indicated in this guide . The acquisition of basic skills CB6R , CB7R , CB8R , CB9R and CB10R is evaluated by appearance S2 and S3 look alike .
