The teaching methodology of this subject combines different elements: master classes and seminars; problem-based learning; analysis of scientific work; cooperative learning; peer evaluation; flipped clasrooms. Communication with students will be via Virtual Campus (Moodle).

Process and evaluation activities programmed

The subject consists of the following evaluation activities:

1. Seminars and tests that can be evaluated

- First evaluable test PA1. Evaluable seminar, problem-based learning, problem solving in a collaborative way. 5% of the mark of the subject

- Second evaluative test PA2. Exercise on the design and applications of solid catalysts. Peer evaluation. 15% of the course grade.

- Third evaluative test PA3. Group work, Evaluated seminar. 10% of the course grade.

People repeating the subject will be able to choose to keep the grade of the evaluative tests from the previous year as a whole or repeat them all again.

2. Examinations

First exam on Topics 1 and 2. 35% of the course grade.

Second synthesis exam. 35% of the course grade.

Both exams will include a question zero about a basic concept that will have been covered and indicated in class beforehand. An incorrect answer to the zero question will result in immediate failure of the exam, and the student will have to take a makeup exam.The zero question failed in the first exam can be recovered by passing the second exam. The zero question failed in the second exam can be recovered on the day of the retake exam.

It is necessary to obtain a score of 4,5 out of 10 or higher in the weighted average of the exams to combine it with the evaluative tests and be eligible to pass the course. If this threshold is not reached, the grade for the subject will correspond to the weighted average of the exams.

Very important: Written submissions and exams must be presented with an adequate level of care and clarity; those that do not meet these standards will be penalized or, if the presentation is especially poor, may not be graded.

Programming of evaluation activities

The scheduling of the assessment activities will be given on the first day of the subject and will be made public through the Virtual Campus.

Recovery process

The recovery of the subject will be done through a synthesis examination of the syllabus corresponding to the entire subject, if they obtain a grade of less than 4.5 on the weighted average of the exams or less than 5 in the total of the subject.

Procedure for the review of qualifications

For each assessment activity, a place,date and time of revision will be indicated in which the student will be able to review the activity with the teacher. In this context, claims can be made about the activity note, which will be evaluated by the teachers responsible for the subject. If the student does not submit to this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.

Qualifications

Honor enrollments Grantingan honorific matriculation qualification is a decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. The regulations of the UAB indicate that MH can only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade of 9.00 or more. It can be granted up to 5% of MH of the total number of students enrolled.

A student will be considered non-evaluable (NA) if it has not been presented in a set of activities whose weight equals to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject.

Irregularities by the student, copy and plagiarism

Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, the irregularities committed by the student that can lead to a variation in the rating of an evaluation act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarizing, cheating, copying, etc. In any of the assessment activities it will imply suspending it with a zero. Assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, without opportunity to recover it in the same course.

RESTRICTED USE OF AI

Restricted use: For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively for tasks involving text correction or improvement, but not for content generation. Students must clearly indicate how they have used these technologies, specify the tools employed, and include a critical reflection on how these influenced both the process and the final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in assess able activities will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in partial or total penalties to the activity grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
