This subject includes directed work in tutorial sessions as teaching methodology. Two types of classes are used: lectures with a practical component and group tutorials. Lectures with a practical component consist of presentations of the theoretical and practical content outlined in the course plan and general class discussion. Group tutorials address specific topics covered in class to clarify or expand on the students’ general knowledge of the subject, using different types of material for specific cases (texts, diagrams, tables, examples, etc.).

Lectures with a practical component are designed to give the student access to the resources necessary to achieve the learning objectives, as established in the common and cross-disciplinary competence described in this plan. Group tutorials provide students with the possibility to complete the activities that develop the capacity to make decisions and adapt to new situations, as established in the common and cross-disciplinary competence described in this plan.

The GIE group follows a different teaching methodology specified in the corresponding course plan.

The content of the lectures and tutorial sessions are assessed as follows:

1. A final examination, worth up to 6 points (60% of the final grade). To be eligible to pass the course, students must obtain a mark of 2.5 out of 6 or higher for the final examination.

Even if the weighted final grade for the tutorial group sessions and the final examination is 5 or higher, the subject cannot be passed unless a mark of at least 2.5 out of 6 is awarded for the examination. Students who achieve a weighted pass grade but do not achieve the minimum examination mark are awarded a final grade of 4.0.

2. The tutorial sessions are assessed through a series of individual and group exercises and tests. There are a minimum of four assessed activities during the course. A maximum mark of 1 point is awarded for each exercise or test; they are worth 40% of the final grade.

3. Lecturers may choose to consider additional activities for assessment, including class work and tasks completed outside class hours. These are worth up to 1 point.

4. The assessment process includes activities to evaluate the students’ capacity to learn and take responsibility for the learning process and to make decisions and adapt to new situations, as established in the common and cross-disciplinary competences described in this course plan.

5. Repeat assessment evaluates the degree to which the learning objectives have been achieved and is carried out in accordance with the procedure defined by the Faculty of Economics and Business.

6. All these conditions also apply to students enrolled in the English-language group, but for the specific use of the English language for evaluation.

7. Students enrolled in the GIE group follow a different assessment methodology as specified in the corresponding course programme.

Examination-based assessment

Students who do not wish to be assessed on a continuous basis during the course can request single assessment. The following conditions apply:

1. Students must inform of this decision by the date of the final examination.

2. The final examination is compulsory and a maximum of 10 points may be awarded.

3. Repeat assessment evaluates the degree to which the learning objectives have been achieved and is carried out in accordance with the procedure defined by the Faculty of Economics and Business.

4. All these conditions also apply to students enrolled in the English-language group, but for the specific use of the English language for evaluation.
