Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

Enable students to understand and apply the fundamental laws of Newtonian mechanics in the interpretation of the movement of rigid bodies, namely:
-Apply Newton's laws;
- Conduct experiments and analyze the results obtained;
- Identify the deviations from the expected results with critical sense.

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

Theoretical-Practical classes: exposition of concepts and principles of the Mechanics of Rigid Bodies; application problems;
Laboratory classes: five laboratory experiments with the support of specific guides.
In the other classes of this type will be solved problems of practical application of the theoretical material given.
Support of the e-learning platform Moodle with the presentation of documentation with interest for the subject.

Teaching methodologies

Assessment Type Distribution assessment with final exam Assessment Components

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

Realization of 5 Laboratory Works, 2 tests and a final exam.
Test dates: to be defined

Assessment methodologies and evidences

Final Grade = 0.4x (Average Laboratory Work) + 0.6x (Average of two tests)

Final Grade = 0.4x (Average Laboratory Work) + 0.6x (Exam Note)
Approved in the discipline if Final Grade> = 10 after rounding.

Restrictions:
Minimum exam grade = 8val
Minimum mark on each test: 8val.

Note: A student who does not perform one of the Laboratory Papers will have a score of zero in that paper.

Attendance system

In order to comply with the provisions of no. 6 Other Exemptions and Benefits of the Regulations of the Worker-Student Statute, the students covered by this statute and high competition athletes may not be able to carry out one or more laboratories in the class in which they are registered, must inform of their situation the teacher assigned to the laboratory class in which they are enrolled or the person in charge of the discipline to be programmed to carry out the extraordinary laboratory work.
In order to optimize laboratory resources and taking into account that there are several working laboratory classes, the request for extraordinary laboratory work under the Worker-Student Statute must be requested in writing to the disciplinary officer up to one week before of the Laboratory Work in question.

Requests received after the deadlines will not be accepted.

Requests received after the deadlines will not be accepted.

Observations

In relation to the Laboratory classes with work to be done the following information is given:
1. At the end of the lesson, the group must provide the teacher with the sheet attached to the guide with the data recorded, calculations and results obtained.
2. Only students present in the lab class may sign the report. In case of a student missing the laboratory will have zero mark in this work.
3. Within one week the student must submit the report of the work in pdf format.
4. The preparation of the report should be done based on the template available on the Moodle platform.
5. The evaluation will be made on a 0 to 20 basis and its distribution will be as follows:
. The. Previous work preparation 3 val.
. B. Attitude of the student while working in the laboratory 3 val.
. W. Presentation of the report 2 val.
. d. Data logging 2 val.
. and. Calculations and results 6 val.
. f. Conclusions 4 val.
Note: Failure to comply with the provisions of paragraph 3, delivery after the deadline and / or in a format other than the pdf will not be classified by what will be attributed the grade zero in that work.

Doubt time: It should be communicated to the students by each teacher teaching the discipline
