=== 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
--
* 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 FAITIC platform as an additional support. In the distance learning regime only online lecturing will take place through virtual campus (“Campus Remoto”), using FAITIC platform as an additional support as well. To guarantee the access of the students to the materials and resources of the course other methodologies and media could 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 effective 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 session face-to-face with part of the students in a laboratory group. These demonstrations could be followed online by the rest of the students of the same group. Data processing and analysis are greatly independent of the operation of experimental devices and can be developed outside of the laboratory classroom (in another classroom, at home, etc..). In the distance learning regime, the laboratory practical will be developed entirely online and the operation of experimental devices and data acquisition activities will be completely replaced by demonstrations developed by the lecturer that could be followed online by the students. These demonstration could be complemented by other specific audiovisual materials.
* Non-attendance mechanisms for student attention (tutoring)
Office hours and tutoring could be developed both face-to-face (provided that the health safety 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 continuous assessment classroom (A-20%) and laboratory (L-20%) tests and the theory (T-30%) and problems (P-30%) final 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, problem and/or exercise solving and essay questions.
Continuous assessment test, part L, weight 20%. Type of assessment: problem and/or exercise solving (10%) and report (10%).
=>
Continuous assessment test, part L, weight 20%. Type of assessment: problem and/or exercise solving and objective questions (10%) and report (10%).
Final exam, part P, weight 30%. Type of assessment: problem and/or exercise solving.
=>
