Methodologies
Methodologies   ::  
  Description
Laboratory practicals In the practical work sessions in the materials laboratory, the professor will guide the students in the knowledge of the safety norms and the use of the basic equipment and instruments of a materials laboratory. The student will carry out simple experiences oriented to complement and fix the theoretical contents developed in the classroom. In the practical work sessions in the computer classroom, the teacher will show the student the techniques used in the search and selection of materials for a specific application. A questionnaire will be proposed after the development of each practice. These questionnaires will have a relative weight in the final grade of the course.
Problem solving, classroom exercises In order to fix the knowledge, the teacher will dedicate some hours to the resolution of exercises and problems in groups type B1. A series of problems will be proposed to be solved by the teacher and others to be solved by the student.
Seminars Seminars are team work, exchanging information and using it to delve deeper into a given topic. The professor will propose the topic of the seminar, and will provide information related to this topic, which the student will have to read before the seminar. The student's work in the seminar will be assessed by means of two voluntary questionnaires. A first questionnaire will be proposed prior to the seminar and a second questionnaire at the end of the seminar. These questionnaires will have a relative weight in the final grade of the course.
Assignments As a complement to the rest of methodologies and with the aim of fixing the acquired knowledge, the teacher will propose a series of activities during the course, whose resolution by the student will have a relative weight on the final grade and will be voluntary and not face-to-face. These activities will vary during the course of the semester and will be of individual character, always carried out through the Moodle tool and without the presence of the teacher.
Tutorship of group The professor will propose some tutoring sessions during the course to help the student in the development of the activities and works that are being proposed, as well as to solve doubts related to the theoretical/practical aspects of the subject in view of the evaluations.
Lecture The teacher will use the "master classes" to transmit to the students the fundamental concepts of the subject clearly identifying the objectives of each block/topic, and specifying what the students are expected to know or be able to do as a result of the teaching-learning process. During these sessions, the teacher will use slides that will be left for the students beforehand in the Moodle tool. Attendance to these classes will not be compulsory.

Personalized attention
 
Lecture
Problem solving, classroom exercises
Description
Students are recommended to use personalized tutorials for the resolution of doubts that may arise during the study of the course. To make use of these tutorials it is recommended to request it previously by e-mail.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Laboratory practicals A questionnaire will be proposed after the development of each practice for its evaluation. Each of these questionnaires will have a relative value in this section of the evaluation. 10%
Seminars Seminars Each seminar will be evaluated by means of two activities. A questionnaire will be proposed prior to the development of the seminar, to evaluate the student's capacity of comprehension, and at the end of the seminar a task will be proposed to evaluate the student's learning. 20%
Assignments Assignments Each activity proposed during the semester will have a different weighting depending on the difficulty and/or workload required. 5%
Practical tests Practical tests There will be two practical tests during the semester. These tests will consist of problem solving. It will be necessary to obtain at least 33% of the score in each of these tests in order to add the rest of the grades obtained during the course. 35%
Mixed tests Mixed tests In order to evaluate the theoretical knowledge acquired, two exams will be carried out during the semester, which will include both multiple-choice and short questions. These exams will be carried out in person through the Moodle tool.

It will be necessary to obtain at least 40% of the score in each of these tests in order to add the rest of the grades obtained during the course. 30% 		30%
 
Other comments and second call

The student has to recover the developmental and mixed tests not passed in the first call. The same classification criteria established in the first call will be maintained.
