Evaluation of the material taught in small group classes (50% of the final grade of the subject):
-
Continuous evaluation: It will be mainly based on performing the activities proposed by the teacher and providing evidence of them in an electronic portfolio. The application of the contents of the different theories explained in subject will be valued mainly through the administration and correction of evaluation test and the resolution of problems and cases, as well as the search of information and decision making based on scientific evidence. Likewise, aesthetic and formal aspects of portfolios will be evaluated.
-
Final evaluation: practical exam consisting of the resolution of one or more cases and/or the commentary of a short text
It is necessary to get a 5 out of 10 in both sections (subject taught in large and small groups) to pass the subject.
