FACE-TO-FACE ACTIVITIES



The methodology planned for the development of the contents of the previous section, and, consequently, for the achievement of the corresponding learning results, is summarized as follows:



LABORATORY PRACTICES (GL) (60 h)



Teaching is distributed in a single 4-hour weekly session in which the scheduled practice is carried out, as well as the calculations and discussion of the results that are part of the laboratory reports that must be completed.



The practicals are carried out in pairs given the workload and the need to perform various tasks simultaneously, as well as to encourage collaborative work among the students. The script for each practice and the supplementary material required in each case (graphs, scientific articles, appendices, etc.) is available in eGela.



At the beginning of each practice, each group explains to the teacher the practice that is going to be carried out using the scheme developed after reading the script (non-face-to-face activity). On the other hand, at the end of each session the group must complete a reflection questionnaire about the work carried out in the laboratory.



During the first laboratory session, a course (or al alternative activity) on laboratory safety and hazardous waste management is taught. The knowledge acquired in these items is evaluated during the initial 30 minutes of the second laboratory session.



TUTORIALS



The tutorials are used to solve doubts, to guide work and problems, to situate the evolutionary state of the students within the subject, to propose improvements to increase academic performance, etc. In general, it is a voluntary activity (individual or in groups) and is carried out at the students' request.



NON-PRESENTIAL ACTIVITIES (90 h)



- Previous reading and preparation of the script scheme for each practice

- Data processing/Report writing

- Respond to the questionnaire for each practice

- Prepare the presentations for each practice



After the practical session, the students will have one week to submit the practical report and the solved questionnaire (group activity)



*If health circumstances require non-face-to-face teaching, all media available in the UPV/EHU (Teams, eGela, etc.) will be used.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT



the final grade will be obtained as the weighted average of the marks obtained in each of the following activities:



Laboratory reports and questionnaires (group assessment): 50 %



After the practical session, the students have one week to submit the practical report (group activity). The report of each practice must include at least the following sections: objective(s), theoretical principles, and description of the material and equipment used. Likewise, it must collect the results obtained and the final conclusions.



Evaluation criteria: mastery of the contents of the subject, degree of detail in the description of the equipment used, procedure used to carry out the calculations, interpretation of results, critical analysis, diagnosis of problems, application of specifications and standards, ability of synthesis and written expression (coherent structure, good presentation).



Skills worked on: TEQI3, TEQI8, TEQI12, C4 and FB9.



Oral test (group/individual assessment): 35 %



The oral test is made up of 2 partial tests: the first partial is carried out after 4 practicals and the second partial coincides with the period established by the Faculty for the ordinary exam call.



The test consists of an oral presentation of the practices carried out, explaining the operation of the equipment and facilities, as well as the results obtained. The evaluation of this test is detailed below:



- Support material (presentation, videos, samples or montages, among others): 35% (group assessment).

- Oral presentation: 30% (individual assessment).

- Answers to the questions asked by both the teacher and the rest of the students: 25% (individual assessment).

- Assessment of the rest of the groups: 10% (individual).



Evaluation criteria: clarity in oral/written expression, absence of conceptual errors, correct explanations and justifications, ability to communicate, appropriate technical and body language, adequate time management, active and accurate participation in the debate.



Skills worked on: TEQI9.



Attendance, attitude and behavior in the laboratory (individual assessment): 10 %.



Attendance at all practical sessions is mandatory. In addition, attitude and behavior in the laboratory are assessed.



Evaluation criteria: adopt a responsible attitude, orderly at work and willing to learn, good management of time and resources, organization of group work and active participation.



Skills worked on: TEQI12, C12, FB10 and C4.



Evaluation of group functioning (individual assessment): 5%.



Evaluation criteria: the groups are monitored through meetings and questionnaires are completed individually about their own participation within the group and the contribution of the rest of the members. Likewise, the group reflection that is completed at the end of each practice is also taken into account, in which questions such as “What went well/badly?”, “How did you feel?” or “What could you do to solve/improve?”, among others.

Skills worked on: FB9 and C4.



REQUIREMENTS to pass the subject:



- Pass the prior knowledge test: safety and management of hazardous chemical waste.

- Perform all laboratory practices. Attendance at all laboratory practices is mandatory. In the event of a duly justified absence, the teacher will agree with the student how to make up said session.

- Submit all internship reports, post-practice reflection documents and evaluation reports.

- Take the 2 oral tests.

- Obtain a grade ≥5 in the final grade (obtained as the weighted average of the grades corresponding to the 4 evaluation activities: Laboratory reports, Oral test, Attendance, attitude and behavior in the laboratory and Evaluation of group functioning).

- Obtain a grade ≥4 out of 10 in each of the 4 evaluation activities.



Students who do not meet any of these requirements will be graded with a 4.0 (maximum) in the corresponding report card, regardless of the final grade obtained.



CALL RESIGNATION



Those students who do not attend the practical sessions or who have completed less than 7 practical sessions (as long as they request it within the established deadlines) will appear as “Not Presented” in their transcript.
