This subject shall have different types of activities and working sessions:



MASTER CLASSES:

The teacher shall explain the most relevant and problematic concepts in the various subjects in accordance with the student's curriculum and work plan.





RESOLUTION OF EXERCISES (CLASSROOM PRACTICES):

Cases and exercises will be resolved.



LABORATORY PRACTICES:

The following experimental practices will be carried out in the laboratory:

- Introduction to the properties of materials

- Determination of electrical and thermal properties

-The determination of hardness and its relation to properties.

- Determination of mechanical properties

- Charpy trial.

- Metalography.



The practices will be carried out in groups of 4 students in the laboratory to read the measurements and obtain the results and conclusions. Then, after each practice, an egelan questionnaire is answered, a written report is delivered, or a presentation is made that will serve as an evaluation.



WORKING GROUP PRACTICES:

In combination with laboratory practices, different group work will be carried out on the selection of materials for different applications, on the manufacturing processes of different parts, on studies related to the degradation of new materials or materials. The evaluation of these activities shall be carried out individually or collectively through written reports or presentations.



DEEPENING ACTIVITIES:

Once each subject has been completed, questionnaires, exercises or individual work will be proposed to make the learning of the relevant concepts of the subject progressive. In the last week of the course, a test will also be proposed to work on the most important concepts of the whole subject from a global perspective. All these activities, together with the practices described above, form part of the continuous evaluation.



FINAL EXAMINATION

At the end of the four-month period, on the date published on the school website, a final examination will be carried out assessing the contents of the entire subject. This examination shall deal with both theoretical and practical concepts (exercises).



IMPORTANT NOTE: If health conditions, climate-related events or other events prevent face-to-face teaching, online activity will be used and students will be informed of this change.

The course has been planned for continuous evaluation through a series of activities carried out during the four-month period and a final review.



The activities to be carried out during the four-month period shall have a weight of 65 % on the note and the final examination of the remaining 35 %. To pass the subject, both sides must be overcome.



The activities of the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION BLOCK, which account for 65 % of the note, shall be as follows:

(1) Teamwork: 15 %. Includes laboratory practices and teamwork practices.

(2) Deepening activities: 50 %. Questionnaires and arrivals (30% of the note), Individual Work (15% of the note) and Final Test (5% of the note).

In order to overcome this set, it will suffice to obtain a note of at least 5 of all the activities carried out, weighted as described above.



Students shall take into account the following aspects:

The note of the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION BLOCK shall be retained until the extraordinary call of the same academic year, if it is equal to or greater than 5.



The FINAL EXAMINATION shall be carried out on the date determined by the Directorate of the Centre. It will consist of a written test containing all the subjects developed in the course, consisting of theoretical questions and exercises.



If the course is not passed in the available calls, the notes of the activities carried out during this course shall not be retained. A new enrollment of the subject shall entail the completion of the full course in accordance with the methodology and possibilities established in the year in which the new enrollment takes place.



Students who do not have sufficient readiness to continue the course through the evaluation system set out here, and who believe that they can learn and acquire the skills worked on in this subject individually and at a different pace, have the opportunity to do so. To this end, pupils must submit in writing to the teachers responsible for the subject their refusal to carry out the continuous evaluation before the ninth week of the quarter. In that case, to get 100% of the grade, a final exam will be conducted on the date set by the school.



NO SUBMITTED will be considered when the student does not take the final exam, even if all the activities that make up the continuous evaluation block are carried out.
