Teaching methodology
MD1: Lecturing with support of computer and audiovisual media, in which the main concepts of the subject are developed and the bibliography is provided to complement the students' learning.
MD2: Critical reading of texts recommended by the lecturer: Press articles, reports, manuals and academic papers, either for further discussion in class, or to extend and consolidate the knowledge of the subject.
MD3: Resolution of practical cases, problems, etc., proposed by the lecturer and to be attained either individually or in teams.
MD4: Exhibition and discussion in class, under the lecturer's moderation, of topics related to the content of the subject, as well as discussion on practical cases.
MD5: Elaboration of work and reports individually or in teams.
MD6: Specific e-learning activities, including watching to videos, tutorials, self-correction activities, participation in forums, and any other online teaching mechanism the lecturer deems appropriate.
The practical component of this course will focus on the use and management of certified end-user trading platforms, including order entry, monitoring, execution, and modification. It will also involve tracking various products across different markets connected via TCP/IP, multicast, etc. Additionally, students will track average achieved prices, the history of an order, and more.
For the more theoretical contents of the subject, remote teaching methodologies such as content recording or discussion forums can be used, as well as classic methods such as the development of individual or group work.
The practical component of this subject will focus on practical exercises to be carried out by the student to help them internalize the concepts that are taught in the presential classes. The use of trading platform simulation software is also proposed to allow the student becoming familiar with this type of technology, which is a key element in the Financial Markets.
For these more practical contents, presential attendance at the laboratories can be combined with individual or group assignments out of the classroom, bu combining the Remote Classroom with the monitoring and tutoring of students through forums and other discussion mechanisms. This part will also be carried out with other e-learning strategies, such as the self-evaluation of the achievements, all supported through Aula Global. In the event that in any practice or laboratory it is decided to use licensed software that cannot be easily acquired by students, attendance in these laboratory classes will be promoted, to the detriment of others that are more affordable for a blended methodology.
