  Description Qualification Training and Learning Results
Flipped Learning Students must participate in class activities and interact with the contents planned in the online learning platform. The results of the tests and other online activities integrated in every lesson in the platform will be evaluated. 10 A3

Problem solving Students must solve short questions, problems and exercises, actively participating in the seminar sessions and completing them with independent work. A series of assignments will be graded. The grading will take into account the correctness of the provided answers, the quality of argumentation and the presentation of the results. 15 A3

Laboratory practical The competencies associated to the safe handling of chemicals, the assessment of risks in the laboratory and the planning and execution of experiments (both computational and in the laboratory) and the analysis of results, will be evaluated.
For this, we will use the systematic observation of the student's work, the preliminary work, previous to the laboratory sessions, and the quality of the laboratory notebook and the assigned report. The laboratory work will get a PASS/FAIL grade.

Attendance to laboratory sessions and a PASS grade in them is needed to pass this course.

10% of the final grade is associated to an assignment related to the practical sessions.

Mentored work The students will work on the elaboration of documents in different formats, associated to the contents of the course. 10
Problem and/or exercise solving There will be three exams, involving problems and exercises:

1. A test about the first sections of the subject (2 hours), associated to a 15% of the final grade.

2. A test about all the contents covered in the class (2 hours), associated to a 40% of the final grade. A minimum grade of 4.0 out of 10 is required for a global passing grade.

3. A written exam (0.5 hours) related to the experimental part of the subject, associated to a 10% of the final grade. A 4.0 grade (out of 10) in this test is required for a global passing grade.

Other comments on the Evaluation

Students need to demonstrate complete mastery of a set of essential learning outcomes in order to pass the course.

In case there is doubt about the mastery of the course's learning outcomes by any student, further or complementary oral tests can be scheduled for a sound evaluation.


Student participation in any of the graded activities will result in the assignment of a grade in this course (the student will be considered "presentado"). Attendance to laboratory sessions, participation in exams and the handing out of assignments are considered graded activities in this context.

Students who have attended the course in previous academic years: Those evaluated with a PASS grade in the experimental part of the course, upon request, will be awarded a PASS grade in this part of the course this year. As a result, their attendance to the laboratory sessions will not be required. However, assignments and the written test associated to the experimental part are required to achieve the grades associated to the experimental contents of the course this year (20%).


In the 2ª Edición de la Convocatoria Ordinaria, the grades obtained by the student in the problem solving, flipped learning and laboratory practical parts will be kept. An exam covering all the theoretical contents of the subject will be proposed, with a qualification that will represent a 45% of the final grade. A written test covering the experimental work will also be administered, with a contribution of 10% to the final grade. A minimum grade of 4.0 out of 10 in each of these two tests is needed for a passing grade and the consideration of the other grading elements.

The students desiring to opt-out of the continuous evaluation mode, need to attend the laboratory sessions and obtain a PASS in them, as well as obtaining a grade equal or higher than 5 out of 10 in the written test associated to the experimental part of the class (20% of the grade). On top of that, a grade equal or higher to 5 out of 10 is needed in a written exam covering all the contents of the course (80% of the grade).
