Descripción y contextualización de la asignatura

This course introduces and elaborates a research publication design and production process that is intended to make the business of preparing good quality research publication submissions more explicit, more controllable, more efficient, and thus more effective.

The course is designed to teach what to do (and occasionally what not to do) in all the basic tasks and activities that make up doing research in scientific, engineering, design, and many other fields of research. It aims to teach the foundations of good research research practices.

The main goal is to apply the main concepts of the research methodology.

The students will learn on: the design of a dissemination plan, the development of a paper, the design of resources, the design of a poster, the definition of a Thesis, the main ethical issues in research.



In the event that the sanitary conditions prevent the realization of a teaching activity and / or face-to-face evaluation, a non-face-to-face modality will be activated of which the students will be informed promptly.

Convocatoria ordinaria: orientaciones y renuncia

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SYSTEM:



The evaluation is of ongoing type. It is why it is compulsory to be present in class. The subject is assessed mainly from 4 different activities, according to next weighting:

• Preparation of flipped classroom sessions: 10%

• Individual exercises and practical cases during the course: 30%

• Reports of applied laboratory practices: 20%

• Final written exam: 40%

In order to enhance the learning of theoretical knowledge, some of the expositive classes will be ordered with flipped classroom sessions, where students will be more actively involved in the acquisition of theoretical knowledge. Based on the didactic material provided by the lecturer (documents, videos, web pages, etc), it will be the student who will start learning by himself/herself previously the expositive classes of each topic.

During the course, students must solve individual exercises, practical cases and do written reports. This will allow a follow-up of the learning process of the students and a continuous evaluation. Students who do not submit the exercises, practical cases and reports will be evaluated with a zero in these sections.

The exam of the ordinary call will count for 40% of the final mark. In order to be able to do the average of the subject with the remaining parts, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum of 4 in this exam.

Failure to take the final exam on the official date will automatically lead to the renunciation of the call and the grade in this call will be Not Presented.

A minimum mark of 5 is required to pass the course.





FINAL EVALUATION SYSTEM:



According to Chapter II, Article 8 of the Evaluation Regulations which regulates the assessment of students in the official degrees, the students shall have the right to be evaluated by means of the FINAL EVALUATION SYSTEM, independently of the fact that has or has not participated in the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SYSTEM. In order to do so, interested students must submit a written waiver of continuous evaluation to the lecturer in charge of the subject NO LATER THAN 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE FINAL EXAM. In this case, the student will be assessed with a single final exam. This final evaluation test will consist on AN ORAL EXAM related to the skills that the students have to acquire in the subject.





RENUNCIATION



Failure to take the final exam on the official date will automatically lead to the renunciation of the call and the grade in this call will be Not Presented.

Convocatoria extraordinaria: orientaciones y renuncia

The criteria and weighting of this call will be the same as that of the ordinary call.





RENUNCIATION



Failure to take the final exam on the official date will automatically lead to the renunciation of the call and the grade in this call will be Not Presented.
