Estudia

• CB1 - Que els estudiants sàpiguen aplicar els coneixements adquirits i la seva capacitat de resolució de problemes en entorns nous o poc coneguts dins de contextos més amplis (o multidisciplinaris) relacionats amb la seva àrea d'estudi.
• CB2 - Que els estudiants siguin capaços d'integrar coneixements i enfrontar-se a la complexitat de formular judicis a partir d'una informació que, sent incompleta o limitada, inclogui reflexions sobre les responsabilitats socials i ètiques vinculades a l'aplicació dels seus coneixements i judicis.
• CB3 - Que els estudiants sàpiguen comunicar les seves conclusions i els coneixements i raons últimes que les sustenten a públics especialitzats i no especialitzats d'una manera clara i sense ambigüitats, fent servir com a llengua vehicular l'anglès.
• CE9 - Identificar els elements estructurals d'un projecte d'investigació que involucri el desenvolupament i l'ús de mètodes químics i conèixer les eines apropiades per a la difusió del coneixement científic.

Activitats d'avaluació:

Criteria for grading has been provided for each task, along with its percentatge within the overal grade. All evaluation activities are compulsory and must be fulfilled individually (minimum: 4 out of 10 each).

Continuous assessment implies that part of the activities will be assessed during face-to-face classes.

Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
NP will be given only if the student does not complete any of the evaluable activities

Avaluació única:
Students who take the single assessment ("Avaluació única") will have as their assessment activities the six ones described. The minimum mark of each part to pass the subject must be 5.0 out of 10. The final grade will their weighted sum.

Requisits mínims per aprovar:
To pass the subject, two requirements must be met:

- The partial grade of each activity must be equal or greater than 4
- The final weighted grade must be equal or greater than 5

The final grade is obtained by the weitghed sum of the six grades corresponding to each evaluable activity.

Tutorials (Face-to-face preferentially but also via Moodle, Google Meet or email) can be scheduled at times agreed with the teachers via e-mail.
