These contents connect with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Topics related to Sections I and II, Analysis Techniques and Clinical Analytical Chemistry, will reinforce SDG 3 (Health and well-being), through Targets 3.4. Reduction of non-communicable diseases and mental health, and 3.9. Reduction of deaths from chemical contamination and pollution. Topics related to Section III, Environmental Analytical Chemistry, will reinforce SDG 6 (Clean water and sanitation, based on Target 6.3. Improve water quality. Reduce pollution and wastewater), 11 (Sustainable cities and communities, through Target 11.6. Reduction of the environmental impact in cities), 14 (Life underwater, based on Target 14.1. Prevention and reduction of marine pollution) and 15 (Life and terrestrial ecosystems, through Target 15.9. Integration of plans sensitive to the environment). Likewise, a critical spirit and an increase in skills to obtain employment, essential for achieving SDG 4 (Education and quality), will be encouraged.

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 examination will be written and will be heldon the date set by the Faculty of Experimental 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 the work to be developed.

I.  Teaching methodology and training activities

II. Evaluation system (ordinary/extraordinary call)  

III. Resources

For the development of the teaching methodology and the evaluation process, University of Jaén will provided ICT tools, among which are the PLATEA platform and the Google MEET platform. Likewise, there will be electronic bibliographic resources that do not require a physical presence in the library.

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.

Rights: you can exercise your right of access, amendment, cancellation, opposition, suppression, limitation and portability by sending a letter to the postal or electronic address indicated above. In the event that you consider that your rights have been violated, you may submit a complaint to the Andalusian Council for Transparency and Data Protection www.ctpdandalucia.es
