=== EXCEPTIONAL PLANNING ===
=== EXCEPTIONAL MEASURES SCHEDULED ===
Given the uncertain and unpredictable evolution of the health alert caused by COVID-19, the University of Vigo establishes extraordinary planning that will be activated at the time that the administrations and the institution itself determine it based on safety, health and responsibility criteria and guaranteeing teaching in a non-classroom or partially classroom setting. 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 by the students and teachers through the standardized tool and institutionalized teaching guides or syllabus.
=== ADAPTATION OF THE METHODOLOGIES ===
All the teaching methodologies explained in the syllabus are maintained, but the lectures will be performed by means of the Remote Campus of the University of Vigo.
If the lab practices could not be developed in person, the theoretical content will be explained by Remote Campus. Moreover, some videos recorded by the teachers will be provided, so that the student could see the procedure that should be done. Then, the students will be provided with experimental data, so that they can complete the corresponding lab report.
Office hours could be carried out in different modalities: in person, by email or through the virtual offices at the Remote Campus of the University of Vigo.
=== ADAPTATION OF THE EVALUATION ===
Modification of the evaluation tests:
Autonomous problem solving: the student must periodically deliver the problems or exercises formulated by the teacher; this topic increase their weight in the grade from 10% to 30%.
Problem solving and / or exercises: The final problem exam, to be held on the official dates set by the EEI, reduces its weight in the final grade, from 40% to 20%. The test will be graded with a final numerical grade between 0 and 10.
Multiple choice test: The final theory exam will be carried out on the official dates set by the EEI; it will be a multiple-choice test; it reduces its weight in the final grade from 40% to 20%. The test will be graded with a final numerical grade between 0 and 10.
Lab Practices report: The qualification of the laboratory practices maintains a weight of 10% in the final grade.
Autonomous resolution of theory questionnaires: These new continuous assessment tests are added; the student must carry out theory multiple-choice tests, which will have a weight of 20% in the final grade.
Considering that some students could be unable to do some test of continuous assessment, two possible procedures of qualification will be considered. The selected one will be the most favorable for each student in the two calls. The two procedures of weighing are:
a) Final score = theory exam x 0.2 + problem exam x 0.2 + continuous evaluation problems x 0.3 + continuous evaluation theory x 0.2 + lab practice x 0.1
b) Final score = theory exam x 0.5 + problem exam x 0.5
A grade greater than or equal to 4.0 in both the final theory exam and in the problem exam will be required in order to pass the subject in both weighting systems.
For the second call, the continuous evaluation grades obtained throughout the course are maintained, as well as the scores equal to or greater than 5.0 of the multiple-choice tests or problems exam obtained in the first call.
Those students who officially obtain the renounce of continuous assessment will do, on the official exam date of the two calls, a problem exam and a theory multiple-choice test, which will be weighted by 50% each of them in their grade. A grade greater than or equal to 4.0 in each exam will be a requirement. |
