Description
=== EXCEPTIONAL PLANNING ===
Given the uncertain and unpredictable evolution of the health alert caused by COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Vigo establishes an extraordinary plan that will be activated when the the regional and national governments and of the university itself determine it, considering safety, health and responsibility criteria both in distance and blended learning. These already planned measures guarantee, at the required time, the development of teaching in a more agile and effective way, as it is known in advance (or well in advance) by the students and teachers through the standardized tool.

=== ADAPTATION OF THE METHODOLOGIES ===
* Teaching methodologies maintained
Lecturing contents will stay the same as for campus-based lectures, while the lectures themselves will be entirely or partly moved online using CampusRemoto (https://campusremotouvigo.gal) and complemented where needed with additional literature material.

* Teaching methodologies modified
Fieldtrips will be replaced by videos y photographs of Galician beach environments to illustrate the sedimentary processes in coastal areas.

Microscope photographs of sediment samples and sedimentary rock thin sections will be used to illustrate the petrographic differences of different sediments and sedimentary rocks.

Videos will be used to illustrate the laboratory component of the seminars, while synthetic datasets will be used to calculate settling and deposition of siliciclastic sediments and chemical conditions for carbonate sediment deposition.

* Non-attendance mechanisms for student attention (tutoring)
Entirely or partly moved online using CampusRemoto.

* Modifications (if applicable) of the contents
Contents will stay the same as for campus-based teaching.

* Additional bibliography to facilitate self-learning
None.

* Other modifications
None.
=== ADAPTATION OF THE TESTS ===
* Tests already carried out
Topical questionnaires: [Previous Weight 30%] [Proposed Weight 30%]
Seminars: [Previous Weight 30%] [Proposed Weight 30%]
Field trips: [Previous Weight 10%] [Proposed Weight 10%]
Final Test: [Previous Weight 30%] [Proposed Weight 30%]

The grading process by continuous assessment will be the same as in the campus-based learning, regardless of whether teaching will be moved entirely online or partly campus-based, as stated in the contingency plan of the teaching subject guides DOCNET.

* Pending tests that are maintained
Topical questionnaires: [Previous Weight 30%] [Proposed Weight 30%]
Seminars: [Previous Weight 30%] [Proposed Weight 30%]
Field trips: [Previous Weight 10%] [Proposed Weight 10%]
Final Test: [Previous Weight 30%] [Proposed Weight 30%]

* Tests that are modified
[final exam] => [oral test]

The final exam will consist exclusively an oral test. It will be the only form of evaluation available to those who have not obtained a >/= 5 mark in the continuous assessment. The final grade will be based exclusively on this test.
Students who have obtained a mark >/= 5 in the continuous assessment, may take the oral exam to improve their grade: In this case the average of the continuous part would be done as long as the mark in the oral test >/= 4.

* New tests
Final oral test
