4. Academic activities

The teaching-learning process of 150 hours of student work is distributed between 60 face-to-face hours and 90 hours of autonomous work.

The 60 hours of classroom work are distributed in 30 hours of participative lectures and 30 hours of computer practices with resolution of problems and cases on the computer. The master classes will also be developed with the support of computer tools.

In principle, the teaching methodology and its evaluation is planned to be based on face-to-face classes . However, if circumstances so require, they may be carried out online.

5. Assessment system

The subject will be evaluated by continuous evaluation or global evaluation during the first call and by global evaluation during the second call.

Students who do not opt for continuous evaluation or who do not pass the course by this procedure may use the global evaluation system.

Students who wish to improve the grade obtained in the continuous evaluation may do so by taking the first call of the global evaluation (keeping the better of the two grades).

Continuous Assessment:

It consists of two written tests and a series of individual and/or group activities that will be part of 2 to 4 practical evaluation blocks.

First written test (Modules I and II): 4.5 points

Second written test (Module III): 3 points

Voluntary internships: 2.5 points

To pass the subject through continuous evaluation, the student must obtain between the two written tests and the voluntary practices a total of 5 points and the sum of the two written tests must not be less than 3.5 out of 7.5 possible points. A student who does not reach this minimum will be considered as failed, regardless of the grades achieved in the voluntary internships.

Global Assessment:

It will consist of a final written test. This test will consist of theoretical and practical questions that will refer to the contents of the three thematic blocks of the program.

Assessment Criteria:

Voluntary internships: specific criteria to be made public

Written tests: appropriate application of the practical tools together with an adequate relationship with the theory.
