Referring to knowledge

Referring to abilities, skills

To achieve the objectives of the subject, the course is structured around three parts. In the first one, the basic contents of the insurance activity are explained. In the second one, the subject focuses on personal insurance, and pension plans and funds. In the third one, on property and damage insurance.

To take the subject, before each class students must prepare the contents of the relevant topic. During lectures with a practical component, the lecturer reviews the basic concepts, poses questions and explains practical cases.

During the weekly hour devoted to face-to-face practical activities, the lecturer moderates discussions on practical cases, news or documents, the development of the assignments, etc.

Standard assessment period

The procedure to assess the acquisition of competences is continuous, in which the final grade is a weighting of the theoretical knowledge and skills acquired throughout the course through:

• An individual written examination of the theoretical content of the first block (45%), once completed.
• An individual written examination of the theoretical content of the second and third block (30%), once completed.
• The submission of a written assignment on the insurance sector (25%), at the end of the semester.

Examination-based assessment

It is understood that the student waives the continuous assessment and opts for the single assessment if they do not take the second individual written examination of the second and third blocks of the continuous assessment.

In both calls, on the dates set by the Academic Council, the final grade for the subject is the result obtained from a written examination consisting of conceptual questions on the subject matter.
