Referring to knowledge

The broad, diverse content of the subject needs varied support of teaching tools. The methodology is based mainly on face-to-face lectures and practical sessions. They are designed to teach knowledge with the support of ad hoc presentations on the topics, notes derived from the classes, videos of practical cases and complementary reading. This subject is very dynamic and therefore needs to be updated constantly.

Some of the tutorial guidance sessions may be carried out in split subgroups. The schedule for these sessions is announced in class.

The Virtual Campus is used for communication between students and the teaching staff. All the information related to the course and any possible changes that may affect it (assessment rules, important information, etc.) is published here.

Continuous assessment

Continuous assessment consists of submitting different activities, solving cases or practical activities, and other tests throughout the semester.

At the beginning of the course, students are given more information on what these activities and tests are.

To complete the continuous assessment process, students must complete:

— 50%: (40% corresponding to two face-to-face exams on knowledge, if possible) + (10% corresponding to participation, class attendance to face-to-face/distance sessions). Passing both exams is a requirement. (A minimum mark of 4.5 in each of them is required.)

— The remaining 50%: (30% corresponding to the group assignment and face-to-face presentation) + (20% corresponding to practical activities completed individually and submitted in class).

All assignments must be submitted and a minimum grade of 4 is required.

(*) Students who submit the first continuous assessment activity are entered for this assessment procedure. The aim is to encourage students to opt for continuous assessment and, in the event that they cannot or do not want to undertake it, to be automatically entered for single assessment.
(**) Depending on the size of the group, the structure of the assignments and practical work may vary.

The content, procedure and criteria for repeat assessment are the same as those described for the single assessment option.

Examination-based assessment

Single assessment consists of a final examination worth 100% of the final grade. This exam covers the entire subject and is made up of theoretical or practical short-answer questions.

The content, procedure and criteria for repeat assessment are the same as those described for the single assessment option.
