  Description
Problem solving, classroom exercises The practical classes of problems are oriented to the development of the student's capacity to apply the knowledge obtained in the theoretical classes for the resolution of problems, their capacity of analysis, critical reasoning and communication
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms Throughout the practical classes in the computer classroom, students are introduced to the field of computer simulation and scientific visualization, applied to the resolution of the phenomena discussed in the theoretical part and problems.
Laboratory practicals The practical laboratory classes are intended to help the student develop skills necessary in experimental sciences such as the measurement process and the estimation of factors that influence the accuracy of measurements.
Lecture The objective of the theoretical classes will be the explanation of basic concepts of Classical Mechanics, its relation with other branches of Physics, its development from the point of view of the History of Science and its application to the resolution of concrete problems. The student will have to prepare and try to assimilate, on his part, the theoretical part with the help of the bibliography and resources indicated by the teacher.

Other comments and second call
This subject is explaine in Spanish

Method of global qualification of the subject:

- In order to pass the subject it is necessary that the tests to be taken throughout the course, which are graded from 0 to 10 points, be equal to or higher than 5 points. Only if these tests are passed, the grade corresponding to the practicals can be added. In the case of failing any of these tests, the student will have to retake a test that includes the concepts not passed. 

- If the grades of the tests obtained during the continuous evaluation do not exceed 5 points (out of 10), the final grade of the course will correspond to the failed part. No average will be made with a failed part.

The final grade will correspond to the value of the average of the tests taken and passed, taking into account their weighting, which will represent 85 % of the final grade, plus 15 % corresponding to the grade obtained during the practicals.
In case of failing the tests but having passed the internships and work, these will be kept for at least 1 year, so the repeating student will not have to repeat the internships. Attendance to the practicals is compulsory. 

Second call:

- If the student does not pass the course in the ordinary call, in order to pass the course he/she must pass the final test that will include the whole of the subject matter explained in the course. To do so, the student must obtain more than 5 points in an exam graded on a scale of 0 to 10. In no case will the grade of partial tests taken during the ordinary exam be kept. 

- The same procedure described above will be followed for the overall grading of the course as in the ordinary exam, adding the grade of the internship weighted at 15% in case of passing the extraordinary exam. 
The use of devices (technical or of any kind) that allow the student to communicate, receive information, etc., from other people, digital platforms, .... will not be allowed during the evaluation tests. 

During the development of the tests and evaluation exercises only the material and help explicitly allowed by the teacher previously and communicated to the student through the channel that the teacher considers appropriate (Moodle, classroom, email ...) may be used.

In particular, during the course of the exams and written exercises, the possession and use of unauthorized mobile and/or electronic devices is strictly forbidden. The simple possession of such devices as well as notes, books, folders or various unauthorized materials during the evaluation tests, will result in the immediate withdrawal of the exam, expulsion from it and the grade as suspense (0), communicating the incident to the Academic Authority of the Center to perform the actions provided in the Guidelines for Action in Cases of Plagiarism, Copying or Fraud in Exams or Evaluation Tests, approved by the Standing Committee of the Governing Council of January 29, 2015.
