The course consists of a theoretical part, a practical part, and a part of the student's personal work. A total of 48 contact hours are taught. The total dedication is 150 hours, for which there is a non-contact dedication of 102 hours. Throughout the course the following activities will be carried out:
Theory classes and problems (15 hours)
Theory sessions, where the teacher will provide information on the knowledge of the subject and on strategies to acquire, expand and organize this knowledge. The active participation of the students during these sessions will be encouraged, for example by posing discussions in those points that admit diverse technological solutions.
Laboratory practices (33 hours)
Practical sessions in the laboratory, where a project related to the subjects of the subject will be proposed. This project will be carried out in groups of two people. The sessions will have been prepared, documented and scheduled by the teacher in advance and the students will have to prepare them before attending, reviewing the related theoretical knowledge and basic technical aspects of development.
The detailed calendar with the content of the different sessions will be exposed on the day of presentation of the subject. It will also be posted on the Virtual Campus where students can find the detailed description of the exercises and practices, the various teaching materials and any information necessary for the proper monitoring of the subject. In the event of a change in the teaching modality for health reasons, the teaching staff will inform of the changes that will occur in the programming of the subject and in the teaching methodologies.
During one of the classes, the teacher will provide students with 15 minutes to answer the surveys on the teaching performance and the subject or module.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class attendance | 0.1 | 2 | 0.08 | 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17 |
| Laboratory sessions | 0.5 | 6 | 0.24 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19 |
| Theory and problems classes | 0.4 | 6 | 0.24 | 3, 4, 5, 7 |
The course consists of the following assessment activities:
- Activity A, 10% on the final grade: Attendance, monitoring and participation in theory classes.
- Activity B, 40% of the final grade: individual assessment tests for the theory and problem sessions. This activity will have two face-to-face tests carried out during the course to assess the degree of knowledge achieved by the student at the individual level. In each of these tests, the content of the subject so far will be partially evaluated. The first test will have a weight of 40% and the second 60% in the final grade of activity B. In order to pass the course through continuous assessment, these partial tests must be passed together with an average of 5 between the two.
- Activity C, 50% of the final grade: monitoring and evaluation of the laboratory practices through a follow-up of the sessions and the technical evaluation of the documentation delivered by the student at the end of the activity.
In order to pass the course, you must have a minimum grade of 5 in activities A, B, and C.
Students will have the right to the recovery of the course if the weight of which has been evaluated is equal to a minimum of 2/3 parts of the total grade of the course. For evaluation activity B there will be a retrieval test (maximum grade of 5) for those students who have not reached an average of 5 between the two evaluation tests. Due to the practical nature of laboratory practices, assessment activity C will not have a recovery mechanism.
In the case of a second registration, students can only take the 2 assessment tests. The qualification of the subject will correspond to the qualification of the average obtained.
This subject doesn't provide for the single assessment system.
In the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation ofan evaluation act, this evaluation act will be gradedwith0, regardless of the disciplinary process that could be instructed. In the event, that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.
