| Methodologies |
| Description | |
| Introductory activities | Activities designed to make contact with students, collect information from them and introduce the subject. |
| Lecture | Description of the contents of the subject. |
| Problem solving, exercises | Formulation, analysis, resolution and debate of a problem or exercise related to the topic of the subject. |
| Laboratory practicals | Practical application of the theory of a knowledge area in a particular context. Practical exercises in the different laboratories. |
| Personal attention | Students can arrange by e-mail a visit hour that goes well to everyone. |
| Personalized attention |
| Description |
| The teacher will dedicate some time to the personalized attention of the students. Individually or in small groups. The students can write an electronic message to mariapilar.callao@urv.cat to meet at a suitable time for all. |

| Laboratory practicals |
|
There will be evaluated the numerical results, laboratory notebook, the report of a practice, the attitude in the laboratory and a test of knowledge. To pass the subject it is necessary a final grade of 4/10. | 35% | ||||
| Extended-answer tests | Tests where students must demonstrate the knowledge and skills acquired. Students have to take a minimum grade of 4.0 so that they do not have to recover that part of the assigned subject. |

The grades obtained in all evaluation methodologies, except those obtained in the development and practicals exams, will be maintained in the second call. Students that do not pass one of these sections should be re-examined. In case of the laboratory practicals, the evaluation will consist of two parts, the first one of a test of knowledge. The second part consists in a practical test only if the first has a minimum grade of 4.0. During evaluation tests, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that are not expressly authorized by the test must be switched off and out of sight. The demonstration of fraudulent conduct of some evaluative activity of a subject in both material: virtual and electronic support, leads to the student the fail of this evaluation activity. Regardless of this, in view of the seriousness of the facts, the centre may propose the initiation of a disciplinary file, which will be initiated by resolution of the rector. |
