1.- The lectures will be taught primarily as exposing lectures.
2.-
The
student will attend a mandatory practice sessions that will be
conducted the analysis of chemical compounds in different
biological and environmental matrices.
3. The
students will develop Academically Supervised Activities:
(a)
Seminars
/ Presentations: each student will select a topic of clinical or
environmental interest which will be finally exposed in class to
other colleagues; (b) E
xercises,
Problems and Test.
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
The theoretical examinationshall be written andwill be heldon
the date setby the Faculty ofExperimental Sciences.
The practical sessions will be mandatory. The
knowledge gained will be evaluated from the lab notebook.
To overcome the Academically Supervised Activities will be
taken into account attendance, which is mandatory, and the
work to be developed.

I. Teaching methodology and training activities
|
Training activities |
Format (classroom/online) |
Teaching methodology. Description |
|
4 Practical sessions in specialized laboratories |
Classroom (50%) |
The 4-hour time slot will be subdivided into two, with half the group attending the first slot and the other half the second. In short, the student will attend in person half of the practical teaching (two hours in each practical session). |
|
32 Theory sessions on the contents of the program |
Online (100%) |
They will consist of 32 sessions of master classes, one hour each, conducted by videoconference. |
|
10 Sessions of resolution of works, cases or exercises |
Classroom (100%) |
They will consist of 10 face-to-face sessions, lasting one hour each, conducted in the classroom. |
|
Tutorials
|
Classroom + Online |
Some tutoring sessions will be done face-to-face and others online (synchronous and asynchronous). |
II. Evaluation system (ordinary/extraordinary call)
|
Assessment test
|
Format (classroom/online synchronous or asynchronous) |
Description |
Percentage
|
|
Theoric test |
Classroom |
The student must demonstrate mastery of the theoretical knowledge of the subject. The exam will be a mixture of free answer questions and short questions. |
60% |
|
Carrying out work, cases or exercises
|
Classroom |
Preparation and presentation of a topic related to subject matter. The students will have to carry out the work with the help of technological resources, which will finally expose the rest of the classmates in class (10%). Also, they will do different exercises, problems and tests related to the topics exposed in the master classes (10%). |
20% |
|
Laboratory practices
|
Classroom |
Compulsory attendance and preparation of a summary script of practices. Students must complete the theoretical foundations as well as discuss the results obtained in each of the practices carried out. Lack of attendance is reason for not passing the course. |
20% |
III. Resources
For the development of the teaching methodology and the evaluation process, University of Jaén will provided ICT tools, among which are the ILIAS platform and the Google MEET platform. Likewise, there will be electronic bibliographic resources that do not require a physical presence in the library.
