Methodologies
Methodologies   ::  
  Description
Laboratory practicals Laboratory practices with pilot plants will be carried out. Afterwards, the student will make a report of the work done.
Personal tuition In this activity, the teacher solves doubts and raises questions to be discussed, analyzes the student's progress and perseverance, recommends methods of work in the subject, proposes individual or group work and guides and moderates the discussion of the results obtained by the students.
Problem solving, classroom exercises In the problem classes, the teacher will propose a series of questions or problems that the student will study in advance and deliver and/or solve in class, encouraging their reasoning ability and participation.
Field work/trips An industrial visit will be done to visit a chemical plant.
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms The development of the practices consists of: a) The teacher distributes the simplified practice scripts containing the characteristics of a real case of manufacturing process of a substance. b) Presentation by the teacher of the objectives outlined above and the characteristics of the software. c) Loading of a file containing the script developed and the installation that the teacher has previously designed to solve the case of contamination indicated. In this script the student can follow by means of photographs how are the equipments with which he is working. d) Explanation of the problem on the part of the teacher: the installation is studied, each one of its parts and the possible modifications to exercise on each one of them. Problems associated with the case. Modifications in process. Economic evaluation Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Lecture The methodology will be based fundamentally on the master class, in which the professor exposes the objectives and the most relevant formative contents of each subject. The student must acquire the basic knowledge that will enable him/her to achieve the specific competences of the subject.

Personalized attention
 
Personal tuition
Description
In the tutorials, personal communication between the teacher and the student will be promoted, oriented to guide the student's study in the subject and to know and develop their motivations and attitudes. In this activity, the teacher solves doubts and raises questions to be discussed, analyzes the student's progress and perseverance, recommends methods of work in the subject, proposes individual or group work and guides and moderates the discussion of the results obtained by the students.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Laboratory practicals Handling of concepts during the practice. Terminology and comments on the resolution of the questions posed in the practice script. 10
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms Handling of concepts during the practice. Terminology and comments on the resolution of the questions posed in the practice script. 10
Mixed tests Knowledge and understanding of the subject matter
A written exam with short answer questions and some questions to develop and problems. 		80
 
Other comments and second call
In the final exam the minimum grade will be 50% (5 out of 10). Based on this grade, the grades of the rest of the course activities will be added to the grade obtained by the student in the final exam. Otherwise, the course will be automatically failed.

The second exam will be evaluated in a similar way to the first exam.

In the mixed tests/exams, a grade lower than 30%, of the maximum possible value, in one of the topics will be cause to consider the whole test/exam failed.

The use and mere possession of electronic devices that enable communication (cell phones, radio transmitters, etc.) is expressly prohibited. In the event of any irregularity occurring during the evaluation test, based on the corresponding current regulations, the exam will be withdrawn, the student will be expelled from the test and the grade will be considered as failed.
