4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The large group sessions (in spanish) will combine presentations and techinques and strategies for active participation of the students (whenever possible). Some of the practical sessions will be held in  Science Laboratories.  Lecture sessions linked to the practical sessions can be carried out in the laboratory or in classrooms. 

Aspects to take into account in relation to the working practival laboratory groups.  Students will be admitted withing groups by terms established by by the teacher. 

For international students (PATIE level2) some aditional seminars will be offered, but it is strongly recomended to take part  in theoretical and/or  practical sessions.

 

 

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

7. VIRTUAL / CLASSROOM TEACHING SCENARIO

1. Teaching methodology and training activities

Formation activities

Format

Teaching methodology

Description

10 practice sessions (2 hours) + 1 of 1 hour

In person (up to 10%) and the rest online.

 

The final number of enrollments will be determined by the rotating shifts adjusted to the capacity of the classroom where the practices are carried out (laboratory/mobile classroom), trying to respect the most optimal ratio of the experimental index but applying the pedagogical and didactic criteria consistent with the situation.

The students will attend the face-to-face sessions that correspond to them (according to the percentage indicated above).

 

The face-to-face sessions of a practical nature will take place in specialized laboratories and/or a specific classroom/seminar as long as the capacity in the sanitary circumstances allows it. The rest of the sessions will be online (preferably synchronous) with the resources and materials adapted to them. The students will have the necessary instructions for accessing the materials, as well as the personal schedule adapted to their % attendance. The appropriate resources will be made available to the practice groups through the teaching platform to promote asynchronous aspects when necessary.

 

25 theory sessions on the contents of the subject

In person (up to 10%) and online.

Preferably synchronous theory sessions (and necessary materials for the asynchronous model, when appropriate) will be offered.

Tutorships

Face-to-face and online.

Preferably, whenever possible due to the theme and extension, online tutorials will be prioritized, using various tools (virtual room or email).

 

Exceptionally, if possible and the circumstances require it, students may request face-to-face tutoring.

 

In any of the cases, the tutorials will be carried out during the tutoring hours established by the teacher, regardless of whether they are synchronous or asynchronous in virtual media.
