4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Master classes (M1 - Lectures, M2 - Theory and general examples and M3 - Introductory activities and problem solving). The basic concepts of the subject will be presented through multimedia presentations, theoretical expositions, and realization of examples. With a total of 45 hours and an autonomous work by the student is estimated of 67.5 hours. In these classes will develop the specific competences CEM2, CEM4 and CEM9 as well as the general CB2, CB3, CB5 and CT2

Practices (M11 - Resolution of exercises, M9 - Laboratories and M8 Participation and debates). This course, given its applied mechanics focus, has many contents that will be explored through activities that involve the practical application of knowledge. A total of 10.0 hours will be applied and an autonomous work by the student is estimated at 15.0 hours. In these classes the specific competences CEM2, and CEM9 as well as the general CT4 CT2 CT6 CB4 and CB5 will be developed for which the student must deliver the works that are set. In particular, a series of practice work and a final project will be carried out in which the students will develop a specific engineering project.

Collective tutorials (M17 - Clarification of doubts). This activity is organized in short seminars where problems will deepen in some of the topics studied in the lectures, and will also resolve doubts of the students. This is intended to strengthen the competences CEM2 and CT2

Seminars (M15 - Seminars). A seminar will be organized on topics related to the context in which the subject is developed.
This is intended to strengthen the CEM2 and CT2 competences

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 evaluation system will be governed by the provisions of Royal Decree 1125/2003 of September 5, which establishes the European credit system and the system of qualifications in official university qualifications.

For the evaluation of the course, it will be done a final exam (60% of the final grade) to evaluate the results Resul-01 and Resul-02.

With the purpose of reducing weight from the exam, other evaluation criteria have been taken into account, such as attendance and participation in class (5%), reports of laboratory practices (20%) and delivery and presentation of a final work of the subject which will have a weight of 15%. In these sections, the learning of the specific competences CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5, CEM2, CEM4 and CT4 is mainly evaluated. For this, the ILIAS platform will serve as a support instrument, issuing reports, either individualized (in the personal area of each student) or group.

With respect to the exam, it is necessary that the student acquires a minimum mark of 4.5 points out of ten to pass the course. It is necessary to add that the attendance to the practices, as well as the delivery of the memories of practices and work through ILIAS are mandatory. In addition, it is necessary to obtain a minimum score of 3 points out of 10 in each of the reports of the practices presented and 5 in the work. If the practice reports are not delivered on the dates set by the lecturer, the student cannot pass the course.

30 Theory Sessions on Program Contents

In-person 100%

30 synchronous master classes, one or two hours each, held in the classroom.

10 Practice sessions in the computer classroom

In-person 100%

10 hour-long practice sessions synchronously.

Tutorials

In-person + Online

Some tutoring sessions will be held in-person and others online, always synchronously, except in some cases.

ASSESMENT METHODOLOGY  

The evaluation methodology for the subject under this modality is continuous. The subject is approved as a whole in all the calls, so the weights and conditions of the different parts remain unchanged.

In the event that no qualification greater than 5 during the course, the student may access a written in-person examination, provided that the conditions of capacity allow it, in the corresponding call. In it, the theoretical and applied contents are evaluated, with the same weight as during the continuous evaluation, 60%, keeping the weights of the rest of items to complete 100%.

The student may request a single test evaluation, in which the weight of the exam would be 100% of the grade of the subject, only under the exceptional circumstances set out in article 13 of the Reglamento de Régimen Académico y de Evaluación del Alumnado de la Universidad de Jaén . The application, accompanied by due justification, can only be made during the teaching period of the subject.

For the adaptation of teaching and evaluation to the online mode, the tools enabled by the University of Jaén will be used for this purpose: Google Meet, Google Jamboard, Google Forms, ILIAS platform, etc.

In particular, for practices and the work, finite element software for mechanical calculation will be used, which can be accessed through free-access computer rooms, virtual pcs or through free student licenses available for installation on their pcs.

In addition, for both exams and presentation of jobs or exercises in which it is applicable, it is necessary that the student has a webcam and microphone as means of interaction and identification against fraud.

ASSESMENT METHODOLOGY

The evaluation methodology for the subject under this modality is continuous. The subject is approved as a whole in all the calls, so the weights and conditions of the different parts remain unchanged. In view of the eventuality of moving towards this completely non-face-to-face modality, these criteria are maintained with respect to the mixed modality with the aim of not altering the conditions of evaluation of the students.
