Competencies evaluated with each instrument:

Theoretical exam (objective test): B-1, B-6, C-16, C-20.

Evaluation of directed activities (objective test and conceptual tests): B-6, P-5.

Evaluation of the practical exam (objective test): B-1, P-2, P-5.

Rating system:

The qualification system will be governed by the provisions of RD 1125/2003 of September 5, which establishes the European credit system and the qualification system in official university degrees.

Attendance:

Attendance at lecture classes is essential for the development of the rest of the subject's activities.

Theory evaluation (50%):

An objective test will be carried out in which the contents on Crystallography and Characterization Techniques will have a weight of 60% and the contents on Mineralogy and Geochemistry will have a weight of 40%.

Evaluation of oriented activities (20%):

An objective test will be carried out on the 6 directed activities that make up the subject coinciding with the theory evaluation. This test represents 50% of the evaluation of the directed activities (10% of the overall subject).

It will be necessary to complete 6 self-assessment tests and content fixation available in Virtual Teaching during the development of the course. Your grade represents 50% of the evaluation of this section (10% of the overall subject).

Evaluation of practices (30%):

After the completion of each block of practical content, an evaluation exercise will be carried out during class time. The grade for these exercises will be saved as the grade for the practice exam if it is higher than 4 in each block.

Minimum qualifications:

To pass the subject satisfactorily it will be necessary to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5 points in the entire subject (see grading instruments and percentage of each in the final grade). An average will only be taken if the student obtains at least a 4 in the practical evaluation and a 4.5 in the theoretical exam.

No parts of the subject are saved for the following course.

Minimum qualifications:

To pass the subject satisfactorily it will be necessary to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5 points in the entire subject. An average will only be taken if the student obtains at least a 4 in the practical evaluation and a 4.5 in the theoretical exam.

No parts of the subject are saved for the following course.

3- CONTINGENCY PLAN

If a change to a totally virtual teaching scenario is necessary, the following changes will be made:

Theoretical evaluation:

No changes compared to the multimodal scenario. Its weight in the overall evaluation of the subject remains at 50%.

Evaluation of academically oriented activities:

The objective evaluation test of academically directed activities will be replaced by academic works with a weight of 10% in the overall evaluation of the subject.

The obligation to take the 6 self-assessment and content-setting tests available in PLATEA will continue during the development of the course, the grade of which represents 10% of the overall subject.

Evaluation of practices:

The objective evaluation test of the practices will be replaced by academic works with a weight of 30% in the overall evaluation of the subject.

The grades obtained in the evaluation exercises will be saved after the completion of each block of practical content carried out during the multimodal teaching period. Those who have obtained a grade higher than four in said blocks will only be required to carry out the academic work of the blocks that would not have been taught in the multimodal scenario.

1. RESOURCES

Google Meet will be used to broadcast the theory sessions, practices, guided activities and virtual individual or group tutorials.

The evaluation of exams or synchronous objective tests will be carried out using Google Forms.

The web space of the subject on PLATEA will contain the necessary resources for the development of the subject and the concept tests.
