Classes will be developed combining the explanation of theoretical contents with the resolution of individual and group case studies.
The Excel spreadsheet will be used to solve exercises.
The virtual classroom will be the reference point for the development of teaching and monitoring of the course.
The final grade will have two components:
A) Continuous evaluation, which will represent the remaining 50%, and will come from the completion, individually or in groups, of practical cases and participation in the activities and exercises proposed in the classes, throughout the course.
B) Final exam (to be taken on the date of the official calendar), which will have a weight of 50%.
In order to pass the course, the following is required
- a minimum attendance of 80% of the classes
- a minimum grade of 4 out of 10 in the final exam.
Any student can take the final exam, whether or not he/she has completed the activities proposed in the continuous evaluation.
- In case of having done the continuous evaluation tasks, and not passing the minimum grade required in the exam at the first opportunity, the grade obtained in the continuous evaluation will be maintained for the second opportunity of the exam.
- If the student does not complete the continuous evaluation tasks, his/her score will be exclusively that of the final exam, and he/she will be entitled to 50% of the grade.
In case of being exempt from attending classes by official dispensation (following the Instruction Nº 1/2017 of the General Secretariat) they will take an exam on the official date, opting for 100% of the grade.
For cases of fraudulent completion of the exam or assignments, the provisions of the “Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and review of qualifications” will apply.
The course is 3 ECTS credits x 25 hours = 75 hours of total work
(approx. 6 hours per week: 2 face-to-face + 4 of independent work).
