In the specialty "Advanced chemical research", these practices will be carried out in a research laboratory of the Department of Chemistry of the UAB under the supervision of a professor who will act as tutor or in a Research Institute under the supervision of a member researcher of staff with recognized experience. The supervisors will issue a report of the stay that will be used by the Coordination Committee for the evaluation of students. The tasks that will be carried out by the students will be the learning and the practice of analysis and synthesis techniques in a research laboratory.

In the specialty "Chemistry in industry" these practices will be preferably carried out in laboratories of chemical companies. Each student will have a supervisor at the company who will guarantee the progress and quality of their work and issue a report of their stay. This report will be used by the Coordination Committee for the evaluation of students. The tasks that the students will be carried out will be the learning and the practice of analysis and synthesis techniques in an industrial chemical laboratory. If, by the beginning of February, a student has not been accepted by a company, the student will also be responsible for finding a suitable company in which to complete these credits. If the student has not obtained a placement by the end of February, he will be free to choose any suitable institution or organization in which to undertake this experimental module.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The ability to develop a correct activity in the lab will constitute the main source of information to be taken into account for the evaluation of the student. Also the ability to write a mid-term report about the research carried out until the midterm period will be considered.

The final grade will be obtained from:

- 70% final report of the activities carried out by the student provided by the supervisor of the company or research laboratory.

- 30% final report provided by the student.

Both reports will be delivered to the Master's coordinator at the midterm of the training period at the company or research laboratory.

VERY IMPORTANT:

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as literature or information searches, text proofreading, or translations. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools have influenced both the process and the final outcome of the activity. Failure to disclose the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty on the activity's grade, or more severe disciplinary measures in serious cases.

Any irregularity committed during an assessment activity (including academic fraud, plagiarism, or the improper use of AI, unless such use is expressly authorized in the course syllabus) that may lead to a significant change in the assessment outcome will result in a grade of 0 for that assessment. If the course syllabus stipulates that obtaining a minimum grade on this assessment is a mandatory requirement to pass the course, or if multiple irregularities occur across assessment activities within the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0. In addition, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits any of these irregularities.
