The development of large group and small group lectures will be focused on promoting quality teaching by giving priority to activities that foster inclusive and equitable learning (SDG-4)"
A1. Large group lectures
They are based in the explanation of the theory concepts, exercises and practical problems of the course.
A2. Small group lectures
They are based on the explanation of the practical units
in the lab including the execution by the students and
resolution of problems in class.
The use of electronic devices in classes and exams is forbidden except that they are required for the right development of learning activities and always with the authorization of the lecturer.
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

At the end of the term the students can choose between two assessment modalities:
CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT or FINAL EXAM.
1.1 Continuous
Assessment
The Continuous Assessment modality
will be carried out according to the outcomes of the
activities planned in the syllabus
and described in the section "Methodology and activities",
in
addition to those described in the
section "Detailed description of the Continuous
Assessment"
that will be weighted by considering
the aspects and percentages detailed in the above
table.
In order to pass the course,
students must obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of
10
in the overall results, but with the
condition of obtaining a grade equal to or higher than 4.0
in
each of the individual aspects
assessed. Otherwise, in the case of failing any of these
two
conditions (a grade equal to or
higher than 5.0 out of 10 in the overall results, or equal to
or
higher than 4.0 in any of the
assessed aspects), the student must follow the Final
Exam
modality.
1.2 Final Exam
In the FINAL EXAM modality, an exam
will be held on the day set for the course within the
exam period, which will cover all
the course contents, ensuring that students have acquired
the
competences and learning outcomes
established for the course. The two parts of this written
exam are weighed as
follows:
Part 1: Attendance and
participation, theoretical concepts and completion of
study
cases or exercises assignments (S1,
S2, and S3): 70%.
- Part 2: Laboratory/ computer
practical work (S4): 30%.
The specific conditions, as well as
the material and/or documentation that may be used in
the
Final Exam will be established by
the lecturer.
In order to pass the course,
students must obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of
10
in each of the two parts.
Students who have passed the S4
aspect (laboratory/computer practical work) of the course,
through CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT, with
a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10, will
not have to take Part 2
corresponding to this aspect in the exam. The same grade obtained
in
the CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT will be
assigned
to this
part.
he parts passed at each exam attempt will be maintained until the end of the academic year.
With this system, the following competencies will be evaluated:CB6,CB7,CB8,CB9,CB10,CG1,CG4,CG5,CG6,CG9,CG10,CT1,CT2,CT3,CT4,CT5,CT6,CT7, CE2,CE3,CE5
The positive evaluation will assume that the student has achieved the following learning outcomes: 1,2,3,4,5

Teaching methodology Description |
A1. Lectures with big group of students |
100% in person class |
Participatory master class sessions, lasting one or two hours each, held in the classroom. |
A2. Lectures with practical groups |
100% in person class |
Development of practical sessions, lasting two hours each, in laboratories. |
Schedule
The schedule can vary mainly due to the change from multi-modal scenario to the online one.
Evaluation system
There are no changes in the evaluation format (weights of each section) or in what is specified in the detailed evaluation.
Since the evaluation of the subject is continuous, there will only be an exam in the event that the student opts for the Single Test Evaluation, which is summarized in the following tables:
