Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

SPECIALIZATION IN BUSINESS

The learning process that is designed for this subject is based on the following:

The subject consists of 6 ECTS credits, which represents 150 hours of student work on the subject during the semester. 40% of this work (60 h.) Will take place in the classroom, and the rest will be autonomous. One semester consist of 15 teaching weeks. To make the timing is used to measure the school week, in which the student must devote to the study of the subject 10 hours.

DEFENSE

The course corresponds to 6 ECTS credits which are equivalent to 150 hours of student work. Of these, 60 hours correspond to work in the classroom, where laboratory sessions and evaluation activities are included; the remaining 90 hours are the approximate number of independent learning hours needed to pass the course. It is recommended that students try and solve a problem a day on their own. Problems to solve should be chosen among those proposed.

5.2. Learning tasks

SPECIALIZATION IN BUSINESS

The program includes the following activities:
 

• Theoretical classes: theoretical activities so fundamentally expository given by the teacher.
• Practical classes: practical discussion activities and conducting exercises conducted in the classroom and requiring high student participation.
• Laboratory Practice: Practical activities in laboratories.
• Office Group tutorials houres.
• Office individual tutorials houres.

DEFENSE

 Classroom teaching: Involves Lectures and sessions on problem solving . The lectures will provide the means to give a concise, focused presentation of the subject matter of the course.

Laboratories: Laboratory experiments enhance and consolidate the basic principles discussed in the theoretical section of the course.  Students will work in small groups of about 2-3 students and complete an experiment during each lab meeting.  Procedures for each lab can be accessed via Moodle in the Experiments section. Labs are mandatory and are part of the grade. Students must complete each lab in order to pass the course. A grading lab writeup for each group should be handed over after the lab session.

Independent study: involves activities such as preparing submitted work (e.g. lab reports), working through any worked examples provided by the lecturer or further examples, on problem solving, on independent study of the lecture course material and textbooks, and on revision.

Office hours: Lecturers can be reached during Office Hours to answer questions and provide assistance with the course material, homework or other questions about the class. Office hours work best if students have their textbooks, class notes, and lecture tutorials with them. Students are highly recommended to arrange the appointments by email.

DEFENSE 

Timetabled activities will be available on Moodle at the beginning of term. To access the planning, go to: http://moodle2.unizar.es with your username and password to log in. To check the school calendar and timetables visit http://cud.unizar.es/calendarios.

5.5. Bibliography and recommended resources

SPECIALIZATION IN BUSINESS

Resources:

Students will have the Moodle virtual platform where you will find notes, powerponit slides, corollary of exercise, laboratoy practices manuals and any other material.

DEFENSE 

 Class materials such as copies of PowerPoint slides, lecture notes, electronic versions of handouts, guide notes for each experiment and exam reviews will be available through Moodle http://moodle2.unizar.es.. Other supplementary texts and audiovisual packages will also be available. These materials may be utilized to reinforce the lecture and lab material or to provide material for independent study by the student.
