T he contents of this course are intended to contribute to the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

SDG 4.4: Developing skills for access to employment

SDG 12.8: Education for sustainable development

SDG 13.3: Improving education and environmental awareness

In the development of the teaching-learning process, different teaching methodologies will be used depending on the part of the course to be addressed. 

1. To develop the theoretical part of the subject methodologies of "expository classes in large group" will be used. Specifically, M1 (lectures) and M2 (conferences). The delivery of a lecture related to the program of the subject, given by a professional of the company, will be adaptive and will take into account the specific circumstances that arise in the academic year in which the teaching is given.

2. In relation to the development of the three practical credits of this subject, methodologies in line with "Classes in groups of practices" will be used. Specifically: exercises proposed by the teacher related to the theoretical program of the subject (M11) will be solved; furthermore, practices will be carried out in the laboratory where the theoretical knowledge acquired will be applied by the students, solving at the same time different problematic situations that may occur in the laboratory; all this actions imply that teaching methodologies such as M11, M6 and M9 will be developed. Also closely related to the practical activities are the development of seminars given on specific aspects of the program, or with the practices to be carried out in the laboratory (M7). Finally, students may be proposed to carry out certain works related to the contents of the program, which must be presented and exposed to the rest of their classmates so involving, after the exhibition, a discussion by the attendees in relation to the work presented (M12 and M8).

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

Students may choose between two evaluation systems in this course:

- Continuous evaluation and

- Single evaluation

In the case of selecting the continuous evaluation system, the chosen criteria and the weight assigned to each activity are those one specified above. Class attendance will be valued with 10% of the final mark, by means of a daily control of attendance and an active and participative attitude in class. The theoretical exam will involve the resolution of problems and theoretical questions related to the course program, having been dealt with during the course (50%); in this way the students will have to demonstrate the acquisition of the competences CBB3, CC3, CER4, CG4, CC12, CG5 and CG6. The students will have to hand in questions and problems, previously established and/or assigned, as well as a practice notebook; the evaluation of these last aspects will represent 40% of the final grade of the course (specifically, the grade of the practice notebook will represent 20% of the total mark); the completion of works, cases or exercises will be associated with the procurement of the competences: CBB3, CC3, CER4, CG4, CG4, CC12, CG5 and CG6. This system will allow the evaluation of the learning result: Result-07.

In order to pass the subject, the score obtained in the theoretical exam must be at least 4.5. If this value is not exceeded, the score obtained in the evaluation corresponding to the practical activities of the subject will not count in the final mark, so the final rating for the subject will coincide, in this case, with the mark obtained in the theoretical exam. In order to definitively pass the course, the student must obtain a final overall score equal to or higher than 5.0 points.

In the case of selecting the single evaluation system, the final mark will be obtained by means of an exam that covers all the contents of the subject, carried out within the calendar foreseen for the final exams, which will allow to verify that the students have acquired the competences CBB3, CC3, CER4, CG4, CC12, CG5 and CG6, allowing to evaluate the learning result 7.

This evaluation system will be applied both in the ordinary and extraordinary call.

In any case, the evaluation system will be submitted to the provisions of the Regulations of Academic Regime and Student Evaluation of the University of Jaén.

SCENARIO : Groups of students below the limited capacity in the classroom.

The teaching methodology to be used in the development of the teaching-learning process for this subject as well as the different activities to be developed in the theoretical-practical sessions are:

The expository classes in groups (master classes, introductory activities, and conferences, when the situation allows it) will be dedicated to explain contents of fundamentally theoretical character, related to the established topics. Some of these sessions will have as purpose to comment relevant contents previous to the realization of the laboratory practices. They will allow the student to achieve the competences CBB3, CC12, CC3, CER4, CG4, CG5 and CG6.

On the other hand, the practical activities (problem solving, practical exercises, seminars, discussions, exhibitions and laboratory practices), will allow the student to achieve the competences CBB3, CC12, CC3, CER4, CG4, CG5 and CG6.

The theoretical classes will be generally supported by the use of different didactic and audiovisual resources such as: cannon, blackboard, computer, internet, etc. In the laboratory sessions, specific teaching equipment will be used according to the different programmed practices. In addition, the didactic resources available in the UJA library, both in paper and electronic format, as well as other resources available on the Internet, will be used as support teaching materials.

In the case of on-line tutoring, this work will be carried out using tools such as e-mail, teaching platform (PLATEA), google meet, etc.

The evaluation criteria will be the same as those established in the first scenario, corresponding to face-to-face teaching, both for the ordinary and extraordinary call. This system will allow the evaluation of the learning outcome: Result-07.

________________________________________________________________________________________

In the multimodal and/or non face-to-face scenario, when appropriate, the teaching staff involved in teaching reserves the right not to give consent for the capture, publication, retransmission or reproduction of their speech, image, voice and explanations, in the exercise of their teaching functions, within the scope of the University of Jaén.

In this case, the teaching methodology to be used in the development of the teaching-learning process for this subject as well as the different activities to be developed in the theoretical-practical sessions are as follows:

The expository classes in groups (lectures, introductory activities, and conferences, when the situation allows it) will be dedicated to explain contents of fundamentally theoretical character, related to the principles and basic operations object of study of chemical engineering. They will allow the student to achieve the competences CBB3, CC12, CC3, CER4, CG4, CG5 and CG6.

On the other hand, the practical activities (problem solving, practical exercises, seminars, expositions and debates), will allow the student to reach the competences CBB3, CC12, CC3; CER4, CG4, CG5 and CG6.

The synchronous non face-to-face teaching will be given by videoconference using the Hangouts meet tool (from Google) or any other videotelephony tool. Some ICT resources will be used, together with the virtual teaching platform as well as the use of e-mail as mechanisms that will allow the teaching-learning process to be carried out. These same tools will be used to carry out the tutoring work.

The evaluation criteria and instruments will be the following:

In order to pass the subject, students must pass an on-line theoretical-practical exam that will represent 40% of the total weight of the evaluation. The evaluation of the practical part of the course will be done through the delivery of a practical report in relation to the teaching activities developed that will represent 40% of the final grade (20% the delivery of the proposed exercises and 20% the report of the activities that replace the laboratory practices), as well as the realization of a group work (or individual, if considered more convenient) related to the subject of the course (example: Topic 5); the student will have to defend this work before the teacher and carry out the activity/activities suggested and its weight in the final evaluation will be 10%. Finally, attendance will be controlled, valuing the participation and active attitude in class, which will represent 10% of the final mark. To pass the subject, the student must obtain a final overall grade equal to or higher than 5.0 points.

Note 1: In order to pass the course, in general, the score obtained in the theoretical exam must be at least 4.0. If this value is not exceeded, the score obtained in the evaluation corresponding to the practical activities of the course will not count in the final grade of the same, so that it will coincide, in this case, with the grade obtained in the theoretical exam.

Note 2 : The above evaluation system will be applied to those students who can regularly attend the virtual sessions (continuous evaluation system). However, there are specific cases of students who cannot follow the above mentioned system. In that case, the student would be evaluated exclusively by means of the written exam, carried out within the calendar foreseen for the final exams, and would pass the subject by obtaining a minimum grade equal to 5.0 points.

This evaluation system will be applicable for both the ordinary and extraordinary exams.

This system will allow the evaluation of the learning result Result-07.
