Actividades introductorias The professor will explain the dynamics of the course:
- Subjects
- Hands out activities with impact to the evaluation. The conditions of the continuous evaluation
- Dates of the evaluation activities
- Recommendations for the course

The introduction to the polymers as subject
Sesión magistral The contents of the notes of the course are available to the students through Moodle. In prevision of the online nature of the course, it is expected that the student works on the notes for themself. The professor will provide a short explanation of the main points, either in the classroom or through recorded videos and online classes held through videoconference, open to all the students. It is expected that the online sessions will focus on discussing questions, solving exercises and tackling the main difficulties of the course. Going through the notes by the professor will be avoided and is a direct responsibility of the student.
Resolución de problemas/ejercicios Proposed exercises are solved and discussed either in class or in the form of recorded or online sessions. The online sessions will be again reserved for the discussion of the proposed exercises rather than going through the solution itself, which should be available through the proper graphic document proposed by the professor. Again, the student is responsible of working on the proposed exercises before the discussion session.
Atención personalizada Questions regarding the contents of the course are discussed individually when required, but should preferably be addressed during the discussion sessions proposed or through the discussion forum, as it is accessible to the whole community and may be helpful to others.

Individual sessions, although not advised, will be held either face to face or through videoconference when previously agreed with the professor.

Atención personalizada
descripción
Due to the nature of the course and the exceptional circumstances, no face to face interaction is advised. Instead, the students are requested to formulate their questions through the forum, so that all the rest may benefit from the discussion. This discussion can be held through videoconference with the student within a schedule previously agreed with the professor. No questions through regular email will be addressed by the professor.
