PRACTICE PROGRAM:
- Obtention of hydrometerological parameters
- Identification and cartography of surficial hydraulic forms
- Potential and real evaportranspiration
- Elaboration of a potentiometric surface map. Quantitative analysis of potentiometric surfaces
- Aplication of Darcy Law
- Treatment of hydrogeochemical data
- Hydrogeochemical diagrams
- Field trips
- Lectures (3,2 ECTS credits): theoretical academic sessions
with the support of ICT which teaching materials, references,
Internet sites will be provided, in which the student can
continue the work personally, this activity will acquire the
skills 1-4.
- Lab (compulsory): Problems and seminars ( 2.6 ECTS
credits): the laboratory practice will be developed in the
laboratory instrumentation. They consist of conducting
experiments in a guided way. They will be in groups work and
students, with the support of the practice script, perform the
procedures corresponding experimental. The results will be
analyzed and discussed globally in tutoring with the teacher.
Thisactivity will acquire competencies 5-6. Problems and
seminars: resolution of questions on the subject worked as
well as exposition and defense of work done bygroups of
students on theme of environmental and related materials
previously worked interest. This activity will acquire
competencies 5-6.
- Tutorials in small groups ( 0.2 ECTS credits) for
discussion on topics of interest working on matters. This
activity will acquire competencies 5-6 .
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
An evaluation of the theoretical and practical training in which all are valued generic skills and specific skills and content will be used in the different thematic units proposed. Specific skills and attitudes will be addressed in specific activities of groupwork, as well as under other specific activities such as debates attitude.
Theoretical exam: 50% qualification. This part will allow the evaluation of the competences CE-33, CE-2, CE-24 and CB-1.
Study of problems and real cases: 35% rating. This evaluation will focus on the competences CT-2, CE-24, CE-2 and CB-5. Class and laboratory practices + field activities. This test will allow to evaluate basically the competences CT-2, CE-24, CE-33 and CB-5. It will include: Continuous evaluation through assistance and delivery of the activities developed during the course, and assistance and delivery of resolved activities carried out during the scheduled field work.
Assistance to the personalized tutorials, presentation of works and debates: 10% qualification. It will allow the evaluation of all competences, although especially the competences CT-2 and CE-2. The following will be also considered: Team activity and assistance to follow-up tutoring. Assistance and participation in the debates. In addition, 5% of the grade will be given for attendance to class.
