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 and the results 16 and 17.

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, the general ones CT4 CT2 CT6 CB4 and CB5 and the results 18 and 19 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 grading system will be governed by the provisions of RD 1125/2003 of September 5, which establishes the European credit system and the grading system for official university degrees.
For the evaluation of the subject, an exam will be carried out as a fundamental evaluation procedure (60% of the final grade of the subject) to evaluate the results Resul-16 and Resul-17.
In order to reduce the weight of the exam, other evaluation criteria have been taken into account, such as attendance and participation in class (5%), laboratory practice reports (20%) and delivery and presentation of a final work for the subject which will have a weight of 15%. In these sections, the learning of the specific CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5, CEM2, CEM4 and CT4 competencies and results 18 and 19 are mainly evaluated. For this, the PLATEA platform will serve as a support instrument, issuing reports, either individualized (in the personal area of each student) or group.
Regarding the exam, it is necessary for the student to acquire a minimum score of 4 points out of ten to pass the course. Attendance at the practices and the delivery in time of the reports of practices and work are mandatory. In addition, it is necessary to obtain a minimum score of 3 out of 10 in each of the practical reports and 5 on the job. Failure to comply with any of these conditions implies not being able to pass the subject in any call of the course.
The student could request an evaluation through a single test, in which the weight of the exam would be 100% of the grade for the subject, only under the exceptional circumstances that are included in article 13 of the Academic Regulations and of Evaluation of the Alumnado of the University of Jaén.
The request, accompanied by the due justification, can only be made during the teaching period of the subject.

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

 (*) The Center may establish rotating attendance depending on the number of students and the capacity of the classroom / laboratory in accordance with the sanitary measures (class in the schedule and classroom / laboratory assigned to a part of the group and broadcast by videoconference to the rest, with periodic rotation of students, as determined by the Center).

ASSESMENT METHODOLOGY

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

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.

RESOURCES

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.

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.
