PREREQUISITES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Prerequisites established in the study plan-To have, at least, B1 Level in English to take this course in the bilingual group.-Math and numerical methods skills up to second course level.-Quantum Physics knowledge.-General and specific competences up to this level.

This is a course aimed for the final year of the Physics Degree. It shares many of the competences with previouscourses. This means that a certain level of math and physics knowledge and skill have been attained by thestudents. Our goal is to fix and improve this level.

-The student should be familiar with the contents of related courses such as Quantum Physics II, QuantumMechanics, and Atomic and Molecular Physics.

General clarifications on instruments for evaluation:On going evaluation is carried out in terms of "Placement Reports" and the "Project", adding up to 30% of the finalqualification. The score here will be kept for all exam callings in the current academic year.

The final exam consists on "Essay tests", "Short answer tests" and "Problem solving", providing the remaining 70%of the final qualification.

These criteria hold for all of the students, no matter if it is not the first time that they are taking this course.When the score in any of the above sections is below the minimum required, the assigned overall qualification willbe 4 even when the average is above 5.

Clarifications on the methodology for part-time students and students with disabilities andspecial educational needs:For part-time students, students with disabilities, and students with special academic needs, special evaluationtools will be taylored according to the specific teaching methodology selected for them.

Qualifying criteria for obtaining honors:An overall qualification of 9.0 is required (Artículo 80.3 del Reglamento de Régimen Académico de la Universidadde Córdoba)

The methodological strategies and the evaluation system contemplated in this Course Description will be adapted according tothe needs presented by students with disabilities and special educational needs in the cases that are required.

CONTINGENCY PLAN: CASE SCENARIO A

Case scenario A will correspond to a diminished on-site academic activity due to social distancingmeasures affecting the permitted capacity of classrooms.



uco.es/grados



COURSE DESCRIPTION

General clarifications on the methodology on case scenario AA multimodal (hybrid) teaching system will be adopted, combining both on-site and remote classes viavideoconference (synchronous) that will be held in the timetable approved by the corresponding Faculty or School.The time distribution of teaching activities (both on-site and remote) will be decided by the aforementionedFaculties and Schools bearing in mind the permitted capacity of classrooms and social distancing measures asestablished at that time.The methodology employed in this subject will encourage the Sustainable Development Goals compiled in the "Agenda 2030".

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Ongoing evaluation is carried out in terms of "Placement Reports" and the "Problem solving", adding up to 40% ofthe final qualification. The score here will be kept for all exam callings in the current academic year.



In the final exam, the student will be able to retake those continuous not passed evaluation tests, as long as she/hehas sat for them in the school period.

The evaluation instruments and their weighting in the extraordinary call (september-october) of the 2020/21course will be the same as for the 2019/20 course, with the exception of the final exam, which will be done in-person, as long as the valid scenario was the A in the approved period for its development (september-october).Let us remind that the evaluation instruments approved in the Addendum of the Teaching Guide of the subject forthe 2019/20 course are the following: Document Analysis (Moodle tool: Forum, weighting: 30%), Dossier / Practicesession reports (Moodle tool: Task, weighting: 30%), Control list (Moodle tool: Attendance, weighting: 10%), Exam(Moodle tool: Quiz, weighting: 30%). None of the evaluation instruments has a minimum mark in this call. Themarks obtained by the student in the passed evaluation tests will be kept.

Clarifications on the methodology for part-time students and students with disabilities andspecial educational needs (Scenario A):For part-time students, students with disabilities, and students with special academic needs, special evaluationtools will be taylored according to the specific teaching methodology selected for them.

Qualifying criteria for obtaining honors (Scenario A):An overall qualification of 9.0 is required (Artículo 80.3 del Reglamento de Régimen Académico de la Universidadde Córdoba)

CONTINGENCY PLAN: CASE SCENARIO B

Case scenario B will bring about a suspension of all on-site academic activities as a consequence ofheath measures.

General clarifications on the methodology on case scenario BOn-site teaching activities will be held via videoconference (synchronous) in the timetable approved by thecorresponding Faculty or School. Alternative activities will be proposed for reduced groups in order to guaranteethe acquisition of course competences.The methodology employed in this subject will encourage the Sustainable Development Goals compiled in the "Agenda 2030".
