ASPECT: Concepts of the subject to be treated. It means a 70% of the final weight of note, given the importance of their domain. Competencies evaluated: CB-5, CT-2 and CE-33.
ASPECT: Conducting workshops and seminars. The instrument will be a continuous assessment of the development of practices and seminars. It will constitute 20% of the final weight of the note. Competencies evaluated: CE-4, CB-3, CB-4, CB-5, CT-2 and CE-33.
ASPECT: Preparation of written reports on specific topics. Exhibitions and reporting will be the assessment tool. It also constitutes a 10% of the final weight of the note. Competencies evaluated: CB-5, CT-2, CT-3, CE-33, CE-4, CB-3 and CB-4.

3. RESOURCES
The resources of the mixed scenario are summarized as follows:
- Theory classes will be held on-line using Google-Meet for 100% virtual, and the necessary tools if you need to relay from the classroom.
- AADs and laboratory practices, indicate that they will participate in person in the laboratory the number of students that allow the capacity and that the rest will work in a non-in-person manner.
- Written reports on specific topics will be carried out through the ILIAS platform.
- Students will be in informed advance of GSuite-Calendar and e-mail from the ILIAS platform, both in the manner and date of the different tests and exams.
- The tutoring and review of exams will be carried out by telematics at the time indicated in advance, preferably by videoconference (Google Meet), or by e-mail of the ILIAS platform.
