In this subject, the teaching-learning process is developed in the following types of activities: lectures, practical classes, directed work, individual study and evaluation tests.
The subject has a four-month duration. The schedule corresponding to the theoretical and practical sessions of the subject will be established by each of the Centers. The schedule for submission of papers will be agreed with the students at beginning of the teaching period.
The information regarding the activities corresponding to this subject is provided in the classroom, as well as on the web page of the subject in the Virtual Campus of the University of Zaragoza. The dates corresponding to the official calls will be posted on the web page of each Center at.
5. Assessment system
The subject will be assessed in two ways: Mode A, continuous, which includes the presentation throughout the course of essays, individual and/or group work and work applying the contents and a final exam, with a proportion in the final mark of 50% between the exam and the work, and Mode B, which consists of a final exam and the delivery of an original didactic unit with its defence, with a proportionin the final mark of 50% between the exam and the didactic unit. In both modalities require a minimum score of 40% in each evaluation activity to pass the course, and you can opt for Modality B even if you have carried out the activities of the Modality A. In the second call, only the grades obtained during that call will be considered, and in the fifth and sixth call, will maintain the same requirements as in the ordinary calls. The evaluation activities will take into account theoretical knowledge, the appropriate application of the contents and the adequate use of the English language at B2 level. Plagiarism in whole or in part will result in suspension and disciplinary sanctions.
Finally, it must be taken into account that the Regulations of the Norms of Coexistence of the University of Zaragoza will be applicable to the irregularities committed in the evaluation tests through academic fraud, as well as the application of article 30 of the Regulations of the Norms of Evaluation of Learning in relation to the irregular practices other than academic fraud academic fraud.
