  Description
Introductory activities In this activity, the syllabus to develop during the semester will be presented to the students, as well as the aims, competences and evaluation criteria. Likewise it will explain them the way to develop the subject along the semester, will create the groups that will make the integrated methodologies.
Lecturing During the teaching of each topic, students will have notes on the Moovi platform on the subject to be covered in the classroom session, which will be available days before the class session. The lecturer will present the topics in the classroom and a series of questions will be asked to promote critical thinking during the classroom session.
The notes will no longer be available on the Moovi platform one week after the end of the course.
Problem solving During the classroom sessions dedicated to "Problem solving", students will learn how to calculate concentrations of compounds of oceanographic interest in seawater from data usually obtained in the laboratory. The statements of these problems and their resolution will be available on the Moovi platform.
Laboratory practical Students will carry out laboratory practicals on the determination of chemical parameters characteristic of seawater as well as chemical compounds of interest in chemical oceanography:
- Chlorosity and chlorinity.
- Total alchalinity.
- Dissolved oxygen.
- Phospate in seawater.
- Metals in seawater by atomic spectroscopy.
The practical reports must be submitted in the stipulated time, be original and will be evaluated by the teacher according to the evaluation criteria published on the Moovi platform.
Unjustified absence from one of the practical sessions will result in the non-evaluation of this part of the course, which must be repeated in the following year.
Students who took this part of the course during the academic year 2022-23and obtained a grade equal to or higher than 5 points are not obliged to take this part of the course.
Seminars In seminar session 1, students will carry out an original project related to a boat trip to carry out a chemical oceanography study. In session 2, students will carry out the necessary calculations for the preparation of reagents to be able to carry out the determinations programmed in the boat trip planned in session 1. In sessions 3 and 4, students will carry out the construction of depth profiles from data obtained in a laboratory. After the seminar sessions, students will have to answer questionnaires that will appear on the Moovi platform by the stipulated deadline.
Unjustified absence from one of the practical sessions will result in the non-evaluation of this part of the course, which must be repeated in the following year.
Students who took this part of the course during the academic year 2022-23 and obtained a grade equal to or higher than 5 points are not obliged to take this part of the course.
