C1 CMECES1 That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study
C2 CMECES2 That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
C3 CMECES3 That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
C5 CMECES5 That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy

Methodologies
Methodologies   ::  
  Description
Lecture Development and explanation of the theoretical basis for the development of the course topics. Discussion after the visualization of theory explanations.
Problem solving, classroom exercises Resolution by the teacher or the student of exercises of each topic.
Laboratory practicals MANDATORY completion of laboratory practicals, with the preparation of a script for each practical and delivery at the end of all sessions.
Seminars Classes with development of exercises of a higher level, corresponding to the topics of the program of the subject.
Tutorship of group

Personalized attention
 
Problem solving, classroom exercises
Lecture
Description
The student can count on the teacher's help to solve any doubts that may arise during the course through individual tutorials. The tutorials are voluntary and will take place in the office indicated by the professor, or by videoconference, within his tutoring schedule. They must be requested by the student to the teacher in advance and with sufficient time via e-mail.
Group tutorials will also be held in the regular classroom.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Problem solving, classroom exercises The knowledge acquired by the students, as well as their problem solving skills, will be evaluated by means of written tests (two partial tests). There will be a final exam for those who have not passed the course with the partial tests and the laboratory grade. 60
Laboratory practicals The knowledge acquired by the students will be evaluated, as well as The correct resolution of the items proposed in the laboratory practices will be evaluated. 20
Lecture The correct understanding of the concepts and demonstrations made in the theoretical development of the course topics will be evaluated. The evaluation will be carried out in the same problem solving tests. 20
 
Other comments and second call
The grade that must be achieved to pass the course, adding the total of the written tests and laboratory grades, is 50 points out of a possible 100. Two written tests with a weight of 40 points each will be carried out during the course. Each one of the tests will consist of a questionnaire of sort questions and development problems.  In order to evaluate these tests a minimum score of 10/20 points in the questionnaire and 14/40 in total must be reached. If this minimum mark is not reached, the corresponding grade for the test will be zero points. On the date of the second test, those students who did not achieve the minimum grade at that time may retake the first test. 

The 20 laboratory points will only be added to the grades of the exams if the minimum grades mentioned above have been exceeded. In case of failure to perform the exercises proposed in the laboratory practicals, such activity will be evaluated by means of a practice exam.

Repeating students may keep the last laboratory grade obtained in previous years, being exempted in that case, from the realization of the practices.

Evaluation in second call: the weight of the laboratory grade is maintained at 20 points, being 80 points the weight of the overall written test of the second call. In the second call, students will have to examine the whole subject of the course. 



General rules on plagiarism, copying or fraud:

The use of mobile or recording devices during subject classes is strictly prohibited. Its unjustified use will result in the expulsion of the student from the classroom.

Cell phone devices, watches with internet connection, tablets or any other communication device are strictly forbidden during the development of the tests. All of them must be turned off and out of the student's visual range. Failure to comply with this rule will result in expulsion from the exam and a grade of zero points.

If during the test there is any irregularity related to copying by means of an unauthorized document or communication between students, the regulations of the University of León will be applied.
