Learning activities and methodology

LEARNING ACTIVITIES AND METHODOLOGY THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL CLASSES. [44 hours with 100% classroom instruction, 1.76 ECTS] Knowledge and concepts students must acquire. Students receive course notes and will have basic reference texts to facilitate following the classes and carrying out follow up work. Students partake in exercises to resolve practical problems and participate in workshops and evaluation tests, all geared towards acquiring the necessary capabilities. TUTORING SESSIONS. [4 hours of tutoring with 100% on-site attendance, 0.16 ECTS] Individualized attendance (individual tutoring) or in-group (group tutoring) for students with a teacher. STUDENT INDIVIDUAL WORK OR GROUP WORK [98 hours with 0 % on-site, 3.92 ECTS] FINAL EXAM. [4 hours with 100% on site, 0.16 ECTS] Global assessment of knowledge, skills and capacities acquired throughout the course. METHODOLOGIES THEORY CLASS. Classroom presentations by the teacher with IT and audiovisual support in which the subject`s main concepts are developed, while providing material and bibliography to complement student learning. PRACTICAL CLASS. Resolution of practical cases and problems, posed by the teacher, and carried out individually or in a group. TUTORING SESSIONS. Individualized attendance (individual tutoring sessions) or in-group (group tutoring sessions) for students with a teacher as tutor.

Assessment System

EVALUATION SYSTEMS

SE1 - FINAL EXAM. [50 %]
Global assessment of knowledge, skills and capacities acquired throughout the
course.

SE2 - CONTINUOUS EVALUATION. [50 %]
Assesses papers, projects, class presentations, debates, exercises, internships
and workshops throughout the course. Six short tests (each 20-30 minutes long) will be
held along the course to assess the student's progression. Continuous evaluation 
also allows students themselves to modify their learning strategies, in case it is necessary.

% end-of-term-examination 50
% of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 50
