This subject addresses two types of pollution increasingly present in modern societies such as noise pollution and pollution caused by radiation. There are many and varied effects of these two pollutants in both humans and environment. Its study is, therefore, important for the formation and professional development of an environmentalist.

Evaluation System | Face-to-Face | Self-Study Student | Description |
Progress Tests | 30.00% | 0.00% | Around the middle of the semester there will be a progress test to evaluate and encourage the continuous study. The test will cover the part of the syllabus seen in theoretical classes until that moment and will be liberatory with respect to the final test. To pass this test the student must obtain a minimum score of 4.5 out of 10. |
Assessment of activities done in the computer labs | 25.00% | 0.00% | The reports of the practices will be completed in the same practice sessions and will be valued for accuracy, clarity, ability to connect contents, management of basic concepts, scientific reasoning capacity, and ability to solve a problem correctly and completely. The student must have a minimum of 5 out of 10 in the practices to pass the course. |
Theoretical papers assessment | 15.00% | 0.00% | The works will be developed in groups of 2 or 3 students. The criteria for evaluating these works will be as follows: 1) adequacy of the content to the subject treated. 2) Absence of plagiarism (Write with your own words) 3) Quality of the aforementioned sources (sources in English will be especially valued) 4) Clarity and correctness of the ideas and concepts presented. 5) Spelling and grammar correction of writing. 6) Consideration of the minimum and maximum extension proposed. 7) Early presentation of the works. Do not submit all work in the last days of the term. A simple literal transcription of all or part of a text will be valued with a low score. The texts extracted literally from the sources must support a personal argument. |
Final test | 30.00% | 0.00% | Eminently theoretical final exam. To overcome this, students must obtain a minimum score of 4 out of 10. Students who pass the progress test will only be tested on the second part of the subject. The mark of the first part will be the one obtained in the progress test. Students who have not passed the progress test should be examined in this final test of the two parts of the subject. For them the weight of this test will be 60%. To overcome this, students must also obtain a minimum mark of 4 out of 10. |
