  Description
Introductory activities
Introduction to the subject and explanation of its regulations
Lecture
Development of the theoretical content of the corresponding practice and explanation of how the practice will be developed. The student will have to come to the laboratory with these assimilated contents to be able to do the practice correctly.
Laboratory practicals
In each practice, in groups, students will develop the corresponding practice according to the report and must present a report detailing the results and conclusions.
It is essential that the student comes with the report read and analyzed.
Personal attention
Personalized attention will be provided to students who require it

Personalized attention
Description

Students' doubts will be answered during consultation hours in the teacher's office (203) or online. It is recommended to send an email (a.fabregat@urv.cat) prior to the consultation to confirm the appointment.

GENERAL INFORMATION 

 To pass the subject, the minimum grade in the final oral exam must be greater than or equal to 3.5 points. 

THERE IS NO SECOND CALL IN THIS SUBJECT 

 ASSISTANCE 

Attendance at practices is mandatory. Only one unexcused absence from practice is allowed. Justified absences follow ETSEQ regulations. In all cases, students who do not attend a practice must contact the responsible teacher within a maximum period of 5 days from the day of the practice to be able to recover the practice according to the instructions of the teacher 

NO RECOVERY OF A PRACTICE WITHIN THE ESTABLISHED TERM DIRECTLY IMPLIES SUSPENSION OF THE SUBJECT. 

SECURITY RULES: THE USE OF THE NECESSARY PPE TO CARRY OUT THE PRACTICES IS MANDATORY. 

 The minimum PPE is: 

 - Laboratory Coat 

 -Safety glasses 

 -Gloves with mechanical protection 

 Laboratory sessions will not be allowed if the PPE is not worn and it will not be possible to recover it on another day.
