=== EXCEPTIONAL PLANNING ===
Given the uncertain and unpredictable evolution of the health alert caused by COVID-19, the University of Vigo has established an extraordinary plan that will be activated when the administrations and the institution itself so determine, considering safety, health and responsibility criteria to ensure continued distance and blended learning. These already planned measures will guarantee, when required, the development of teaching in a more agile and effective way, as students and teachers will be made aware in advance (or well in advance) through the official channel of the syllabus document.
=== ADAPTATION OF THE METHODOLOGIES ===
* Teaching methodologies maintained
* Teaching methodologies modified
All the methodologies (lecturing, problem solving and laboratory practical): in the blended learning regime face-to-face classroom activities will be combined with on-line lecturing through the virtual campus (“Campus Remoto”), using the learning platform as an additional support. In the distance learning regime only online lecturing will take place through the virtual campus (“Campus Remoto”), using the learning platform as an additional support. To guarantee student access to the materials and resources of the course, other methodologies and media may be implemented if needed.
In particular, for the laboratory practical in the blended learning regime the operation of experimental devices by the students and the associated data acquisition activities could suffer major restrictions (due to the reduced capacity of the laboratory classroom, the mandatory use of personal protective equipment, the implementation of special hygiene measures and other factors). For these reasons, these activities will be mostly replaced by demonstrations developed by the lecturer in a face-to-face session with some of the students from the laboratory group. These demonstrations will be followed online by the rest of the students from the same group. Data processing and analysis are highly independent from the operation of experimental devices and can be undertaken outside of the laboratory classroom (in another classroom, at home, etc.). In the distance learning regime, the laboratory practical will be undertaken entirely online and the operation of experimental devices and data acquisition activities will be completely replaced by demonstrations by the lecturer that will be followed online by the students. These demonstrations could be complemented by other specific audiovisual materials.
* Non-attendance mechanisms for student attention (tutoring)
Tutoring hours could be held both face-to-face (provided that health and safety measures can be guaranteed using personal protective equipment) or online, by using asynchronous media (email, forum, etc.) or by making an appointment (videoconference).

[Previous test] => [New test]
The weights of the tests for continuous assessment in the classroom (A-20%) and in the laboratory (L-20%) and the final theory (T-30%) and problems (P-30%) exams are kept unchanged. However, more flexibility could be introduced in the type of questions that can be employed in each part as detailed below.
Continuous assessment test, part A, weight 20%. Type of assessment: essay questions.
=>
Continuous assessment test, part A, weight 20%. Type of assessment: objective questions, problems and/or exercises solving, and essay questions.
Continuous assessment test, part L, weight 20%. Type of assessment: problems and/or exercises solving (10%) and report (10%).
=>
Continuous assessment test, part L, weight 20%. Type of assessment: problems and/or exercises solving and objective questions (10%), and report (10%).
Final exam, part P, weight 30%. Type of assessment: problems and/or exercises solving.
