4. Academic activities
- Theoretical and practical classes (45 hours). Sessions of exposition and explanation of contents, together with problems and cases of practical application of such contents.
- Laboratory Practices (15 hours). In each session, the student will have a script of the practice to be carried out, which will be accompanied by explanations and necessary indications for its realization.
- Supervised work (18 hours). Completion of a course work, in which the contents of the subjectdeveloped in the different topics of the term are applied in a practical way.
- Individual study (68 hours).
- Evaluation tests (4 hours).
- Tutoring. Individualized attention to the student to solve doubts.
5. Assessment system
The subject will be assessed in the global assessment modality by means of the following activities:
ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE 1
The assessment activities of a student who has passed the practices in the teaching period will be:
- Laboratory Practices (10% of the grade, with a minimum of 5 out of 10). In order to pass the subject the student must have attended all the practical sessions.
- Tutorial work (10% of the grade).
- Written tests (80% of the grade, with a minimum of 4 out of 10 in each written test).
ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE 2
The evaluation activities of a student who has not passed the practices in the teaching period will be: - Laboratory practice exam (Pass or Fail grade)
- Tutorial Work (10% of the grade)
- Written tests (90% of the grade, minimum 4 out of 10 in each written test).
In order to pass the subject following the assessment procedure 2, it will be necessary to obtain a grade of PASS in the practical exam and a minimum grade of 6 out of 10.
