Lectures and practical exercises in class.

During the lectures the contents are presented using digital tools.

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

Exam on the theoretical concepts and practical of the matter: 50 %

Realization of works, cases or practical exercises: 50 %

Exceptionally, in the extraordinary call the students may request an exam with a value of 100% of the total grade of the subject.

METHODOLOGY AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES

Groups with a number of students above the limited capacity in the classroom.

The activities will be the same as those indicated in the face-to-face scenario, that is, they will be carried out in the classroom, but in this case, they will also be broadcast by videoconference (Meet) synchronously to the rest of the group. Periodic rotation of students (face-to-face at 50%).

The tutorials, as in the face-to-face format, will combine the two options (face-to-face and online), group or individual.

Groups with number of students below the limited capacity in the classroom.

In this case, it will not be necessary to introduce any modification to the face-to-face scenario.

EVALUATION SYSTEM

Ordinary call

Extraordinary call

The evaluation system will be the same as in the ordinary call, maintaining the grades obtained in the activities carried out (problems, practical cases, etc.) during the course of the subject.

Exceptionally, in the extraordinary call the student body may request an exam with a value of 100% of the total grade of the subject.

CONTINGENCY PLAN

In the event that it is necessary to move to a non-face-to-face scenario, of totally virtual teaching, the following changes will be made:

Theoretical evaluation:

No changes compared to the multimodal scenario. Its weight in the global evaluation of the subject is maintained (50%).

The realization of problems, cases and exercises is maintained in the same way as in the multimodal scenario and with a weight of 50%.

The grades obtained during the multimodal teaching period will be saved.

Exceptionally, in the extraordinary call the student body may request an exam with a value of 100% of the total grade of the subject.

MEANS

Google Meet will be used for the retransmission of the theory sessions as well as for non-face-to-face tutorials. The evaluation by means of an exam or objective tests will be carried out through Google Forms or in Virtual Teaching. The web space of the subject in Virtual Teaching will contain all the necessary material for the development of the subject.

The activities will be the same as those indicated in the face-to-face scenario, but in this case all of them will be carried out by videoconference (preferably Meet). The tutorials will be only by videoconference (preferably Meet).

Institution in charge of data processing: Universidad de Jaén, Campus Las Lagunillas, s/n, 23071 Jaén

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
