=== EXCEPTIONAL PLANNING ===
Given the uncertain and unpredictable evolution of the health alert caused by COVID-19, the University of Vigo establishes an extraordinary planning that will be activated when the administrations and the institution 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
All the lecture-based sessions will be maintained, moving them totally or partially to an online version, through the Online Campus (Campus Remoto) of the UVigo.
* Teaching methodologies modified
Laboratory sessions will be modified to adapt the group size to that set by the University or the EEI as safe. Sessions will be organized to ensure the safety distance. All the activities that can be performed in non face-to-face mode will be deployed on online platforms.
In the case of total suspension of face-to-face teaching, alternative activities that allow covering the contents of the practical part of the subject will be provided: virtual tools, videos, etc.
- The defense of the work considered in the continuous assessment will be carried out preferably face-to-face. If this is not possible, it will be performed through the Virtual Campus
* Non-attendance mechanisms for student attention (tutoring)
Non-face-to-face tutorial services will be held through the virtual offices on the Virtual Campus, expanding the office-hours to encourage student participation. Student attention may be carried out also by other ways (email, videoconference, FAITIC forums, ...), always after previous agreement with the teacher.
* Modifications (if applicable) of the contents
According to the moment when the University decision of starting non-face-to face or mix teaching is made, modification in the lab contents will need to be done, following the defined organization. Students will be informed of the changes through FAITIC platform (see Adaptation of Assessment section)
* Additional bibliography to facilitate self-learning
Althoug additional bilbiography is already indicated at the end of each lesson, if student access to academic libraries is limited, additional documentation will be provided.
* Other modifications
=== ADAPTATION OF THE TESTS ===
* Tests already carried out
The marks obtained in the continuous assessment tests already performed will maintain their weight in the final grade without changes, as defined in the teaching guide.
* Pending tests that are maintained
Those continuous assessment tests or exams that have not yet been done will also maintain their contribution in the final grade, as defined in the teaching guide.
* Tests that are modified
Despite the change in the fase-to-face/virtuallity of the assessment exams, the weight in the course grade indicated in the teaching guide will not change, except in the exceptional situation in which none of the lab sessions, or visits to the aeronautical companies coudl be carried out.
In this case, as the substitute activities will involve a greater workload on the part of the students, will be taken into account with 20% of the grade at the expense of areduction in the weight of the written exam from 40% to 30%.
* New tests
In the exceptional case indicated above, a new online test will be carried out to assess the knowledge acquired in the activities that substitute lab sessions. This new test, that replace the portfolio, will consist of short questions and exercises and will be valued with 20%.
* Additional Information
In any case, the requirement of achieving a minimum mark of 40% in both the continuous assessment and the written exam remains the same.
