Referring to knowledge

Referring to abilities, skills

The teaching methodology seeks to combine the course’s theoretical content with its practical applications. The latter include case studies, exercises and other activities that complement the theoretical knowledge introduced in what is an eminently applied approach.

The Virtual Campus is the main channel of communication between the lecturer and students. It is used to post tasks, questionnaires, administrative and academic information about the subject and specific information about the methods of assessment.

Attendance is essential for the successful completion of the subject.

Students must also ensure that they complete the necessary reading or assignments before each session and by the given deadlines, respectively.

Assessment is designed to verify that students have mastered the learning outcomes and acquired the desired skills and competences. There are two assessment options for this subject: continuous and single.

 

Continuous assessment

Continuous assessment consists of two compulsory elements:

— Practical applications (20%)

— Exams (80%)

The minimum grade required to pass the continuous mode of assessment is 5/10. Students who fail to pass the continuous assessment mode are transferred automatically to the single mode.

Examination-based assessment

Students are assessed on the basis of an exam that accounts for 100% of the final grade. The exam is divided into two parts:

— Theoretical part (50%)

— Practical part (50%)

Students must obtain a minimum grade of 3 out of 10 on each part to be eligible to pass the subject; otherwise, the final grade awarded for single assessment is 3.5. The minimum grade required to pass single assessment is 5/10.

Repeat assessment

The repeat assessment procedure adheres to the same structure as that of single assessment.
