Specific bibliography may be recommended for the different contents.
H/D13: Adequately apply the knowledge and techniques acquired in the different subjects of the degree to analyse a complex situation or concept and find a way to solve it.
Comp01: Develop the ability to organise and plan work appropriately, based on a synthesis and analysis that allows decisions to be made.
Comp05: Collaborate in interdisciplinary teams in any work environment, based on knowledge of the environment and the legal regulations in force.

The sessions dedicated to lectures (33 hours) will be used to introduce the basic contents of the topics that make up the program, emphasizing the particularly relevant aspects and the relationships between them.
During the practical sessions, problem solving will be approached by means of the case study methodology. In the seminars (3 hours) and laboratories (12 hours), work such as the resolution of exercises and cases, search for information or analysis of documents and readings, among others, will be addressed. In many cases, after their elaboration, they will be discussed and/or debated (class presentation). Some activities will be addressed individually and others in groups; some will be solved in their entirety during class time; others will be started during class time and must be addressed/completed during the students' autonomous work, and others will be prepared during the time dedicated to autonomous work and will be solved during class time. This autonomous work will be guided by the teacher in the office hours (mainly in the group tutoring sessions: 3 hours), which will serve to resolve doubts and solve problems faced by the students in the teaching-learning process. The tutorials will also serve as a feedback channel on the results obtained.
The Virtual Classroom will be used as a communication and teaching support tool.
The development of the sessions will be carried out in the established class schedules, being compulsory the attendance to the sessions (expository, seminars and laboratories) if you want to score in the continuous evaluation. The additional office hours (not scheduled in the timetable of the subject) will be carried out preferably in person, although in certain cases they can also be carried out virtually, synchronously (through the institutional platform MS Teams) or asynchronously (through the virtual campus). In any case, they will be developed in the timetable officially published by the faculty.
The evaluation system will take into account all the activities developed by the students: theoretical exam, work and case studies carried out in the seminar and laboratory sessions, presentation of work and active participation in classes and debates.
There are two opportunities to pass the subject. Students who do not pass the subject in the first opportunity will have the right to a second one, which will be the one that appears in their academic record in case the grade achieved is higher.
The evaluation system for these two opportunities, both for first-time students and repeating students, is shown below:
First ordinary opportunity. Continuous evaluation is contemplated, combined with a final test.
A. Continuous evaluation (weight in the final grade: 30%), distributed as follows:
- A1. Laboratory practices performance (24% of the grade).
- A2. Elaboration of the work assigned in the seminars (6% of the grade).
Each of the activities proposed to the students will be evaluated in a 70/30 proportion (70% content; 30% presentation and active participation in the resolution of the problems and debates in class).
In this part the following competences will be evaluated:
- Laboratory practices performance: Con11, H/D13, Comp01, Comp05.
- Elaboration of the work assigned in the seminars: Con11, H/D13, Comp01, Comp05.
B. Final exam of contents (weight in the final grade: 70%): compulsory test in which the learning results will be evaluated, and may include short answer questions, multiple choice questions, short reasoning questions, or cases (real or invented) to which the student must give a solution, based on the theoretical contents of the subject and/or on the skills/competences developed throughout the term.
In this part the following competences will be evaluated: Con11, H/D13.
To add B and A the student must obtain at least 2.8 of the maximum grade of 7 of the exam. The aggregate grade must be equal or higher than 5 of the maximum grade of 10 needed to pass the subject.
Students who do not obtain any score linked to the activities carried out in the expository and interactive sessions can only obtain a maximum of 7 points in this call.
Second extraordinary opportunity:
The same evaluation system will be applied as in the first opportunity, that is to say, a new final exam of contents will be carried out, with the weighting established for the first opportunity, which will be added to the score achieved in the continuous evaluation.
In accordance with the Permanence Regulations in force in the USC for Bachelor and Master studies (art. 5.2), the mere attendance and/or participation in any of the activities subject to evaluation will mean that the student's final grade will be different from NOT PRESENTED.
Students who are granted an attendance dispensation following the Instruction No. 1/2017 of the General Secretariat on dispensation from class attendance in certain circumstances, will be evaluated with a specific final exam that will account for 100% of the grade.
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and grade review will apply.
The subject has 6 ECTS credits assigned. Each credit is equivalent to 25 hours, so it has a workload for students of 150 hours, among which are included as face-to-face activities: 33 lectures, 12 interactive laboratory, 3 interactive seminars and 3 office hours. The students' personal work amounts to 99 hours.
- Attend and participate in lectures, laboratories, and seminars.
- Consult the recommended bibliography.
- Examine the materials recommended by the faculty and/or delivered physically or through the virtual classroom.
- To turn to the faculty to clarify doubts, using the office hours and all the available contact methods.
The teaching will be given in Galician and Spanish.
