Description
Due to the high degree of uncertainty resulting from the unpredictable evolution of the Covid-19 health alert, we present alternative plans in this section. Within the present constraints, we try to foresee here some relevant aspects. We present two cases: face-to-face teaching is reduced (mixed modality) or is cancelled (online modality).

1) Mixed modality

1.1 Adaptation of the methodologies

- In the Lecturing and Problem Solving we will focus on the most relevant aspects of the subject and guide the students in their learning process out of the classroom. Besides, we will put emphasis on those contents of greater complexity, with the idea of making the self learning process easier.

- This methodology will be complemented with teaching activity performed by means of the Campus Remoto and the on-line platform Faitic with a reinforcement purpose.

1.2 Assessment

Here we will describe the changes with respect to what is written in the sections: Assessment and Other Comments on the Evaluation.
In principle, the tests will be face-to-face unless the academic authorities stipulate otherwise by security reasons. In each Evaluation Option, all the students will be assessed using the same types of tests. Should the virtual assessment be necessary, it would be implemented through the Campus Remoto and/or Faitic.

- February 2021
Option A:
In the case that the face-to-face assessment was cancelled and the student had been already assessed in a partial face-to-face test, its academic grade will be kept with its respective weight.
It is considered the following change in the assessment scheme (the remaining parts remain the same):

For option A, other types of assessment may substitute the part Objective questions exam (35%). For this weight (or what remains to be assessed) may be used Essay questions exam and/or Oral exam.

Option B:

Should the assessment was online-based, the change in the evaluation scheme would the same as in Option A for Objective questions exam.

Second-chance Examination:

- July 2021

Both in Option A and Option B could be applied the change in Objective questions exam specified above.

1. 3 Tutoring

The students will be able to get tutoring attending one online classroom in the Campus Remoto. Students should make an appointment via electronic mail.


2) Online modality

2.1 Adaptation of methodologies

The teaching activity will be performed by means of the Campus Remoto. The on-line teaching platform Faitic will play an important role in the enhancement of the learning process. These tools will be used without prejudice to the possible application of other measures, which can be implemented in order to guarantee the accessibility of the students to the subject’s contents.

The lecturer will provide handouts based on the reference of the Basic Bibliography and didactic material through the on-line teaching platform Faitic. They will facilitate the self-learning process among the students, especially taking into account the eventual problems of conciliation and connectivity.

2.2 Assessment

It applies the same as in section 1.2.

2.3 Tutoring

It applies the same as in section 1.3.
