4. Academic activities
The teaching-learning is channelled with participative lectures including cooperative work; reflecting, discussing and solving practical cases and readings in a first phase; afterwards there is a second phase of autonomous individual work and delivery of the cases.
The evaluation work of 60% of the subject, carried out autonomously in a team, is tutored by interacting with the students continuously.
Master classes: 30h
Practical classes: 30 h
Autonomous work (individual/team): 87h
Assessment tests. 3h
The methodology of classes and their evaluation will revolve around face-to-face classes, but if circumstances require it, they may be held online.
5. Assessment system
A global evaluation system is carried out in the TWO CALLS.
This system consists of a written test, on the official date established by the Center. This written test consists of two parts: i) Written test to evaluate theoretical concepts (40% of the grade); and ii)Case analysis to evaluate practical aspects (60% of the grade).
In order to pass the subject, the weighted average must be equal to or higher than 5 points out of 10. In order to calculate this average a minimum score of 1 point out of 4 must be obtained in the written test and 2 points out of 6 in the practical part (case analysis). If any of these minimums are not met, the student will receive a failing grade.
Those students who wish to do so can anticipate the practical part of the global exam (60% of the total grade) by carrying out a series of activities throughout the semester. Specifically, a written work will be carried out as a team and presented orally , after the obligatory delivery of all the activities proposed during the course. Students who, having advanced this part (doing ALL the activities) wish to improve their grade, must take the globaltest and pass the minimum grades required.
SECOND CALL: Global Evaluation as described in the first call for proposals
In the regular evaluation work, the knowledge, understanding and ability to use and integrate the concepts studied, the absence of formal errors and the clarity and order in the presentation of results will be assessed , as well as the degree of accuracy in answering the questions posed in the presentation and in the exam test. If it is necessary to support a final grade after the global evaluation, the reflection and ideas in each work or intervention, as well as the regularityof active participation in the development of the classes may be assessed.
