The contents of this subject are connected with following ODS

ODS-4 Quality education

ODS-6 Clean water and sanitation

ODS-7 Affordable and clean energy

ODS-9 Industry, innovation and infrastructure

DETAILED INFORMATION:

The theoretical and practical contents of the program topics will be developed in large group lectures. 

In the seminars the proposed problems are completed and the participation of the students to the resolution of the same in the class is valued.

Likewise, topics related to the practical contents of the program will be proposed to present presentations in the groups of directed activities.

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

DETAILED INFORMATION:

The exam, which will be taken on the date determined by the University, will be a written test in which there will be, in a weighted way, theory questions (40%-50%) and practical problems (60%-50%). The aim is to ascertain the degree of assimilation of the theoretical content of the subject, as well as whether the student has been able to reach the required competencies. The theoretical part includes a battery of multiple choice questions.

In order to compute with the rest of the activities, the minimum qualification of 4 points must be obtained in the evaluation of contents.

Laboratory practises can only be carried out on the dates established by the centre, being obligatory to do them in order to obtain the calification corresponding to the percentage of practises established in the guide.

With the exam the following competences will be evaluated: CE1, CT1, CT3, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7 and CT9.

The report of the four practices will contribute with 1.2 points to the final grade of the subject. All internships are delivered at the end of the internship in a single document in docx format, which will be uploaded through the digital platform of the University within the indicated period of time. The internship note is reserved for two consecutive academic years.

The internship report will be used to evaluate the following competencies: CE1, CG1, CG5, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT5, CT6, CT7, CT8, CT9 and CT10.

• Teaching methodology and training activities

• Evaluation system.

Evaluation system.

As in the face-to-face situation, the weight of the three sections considered in the evaluation is the same.

The evaluation system in the ordinary convocatory contemplates the possibility of continuous evaluation by means of partial alternatives to the final exam.

In the extraordinary convocatory only contemplates the possibility of final examination with all the contents of the subject.

In all cases, the exams will be structured as described in the following section

Data Protection Delegate: dpo@ujaen.es

Purpose: In accordance with the Universities Law and other national and regional regulations in force, carrying out exams and assessment tests corresponding to the courses students are registered in. In order to avoid frauds while sitting the exam, the exam will be answered using a videoconference system, being able the academic staff of the University of Jaén to compare and contrast the image of the person who is answering the exam with the student's photographic files. Likewise, in order to provide the exam with evidential content for revisions or claims, in accordance with current regulation frameworks, the exam will be recorded and stored.

Legitimacy: compliance with legal obligations (Universities Law) and other national and regional regulations currently in force.

Addressees: service providers who are the owners of the platforms where the exams are carried out and with whom the University of Jaén has signed the corresponding data access contracts.

Storage periods: those established in current in force regulations. In the specific case of exam videoconference recordings, not before the examination records and transcripts are closed or the exam can still be reviewed or challenged.
