The exhibition sessions (lectures) are intended to introduce students to the management of the information system and its impact on customer satisfaction and organizational results. The didactic approach aims to train students by promoting the understanding of the information processes that underpin business decisions and the modelling of various problems in order to promote the quality of decisions.
To develop the theoretical part the following guidelines are established:
• The presentation of the theme and presentation of work materials be supplemented with exercises and cases that encourage participation and discussion.
• Explanations adjusted to the starting level of the students will be provided. The subject is considered as an introduction to the contents established.
• Connection between the transmitted content and reality. Both examples and cases, whenever possible, will focus on real events.
• The theoretical contents of the subject will be developed in lectures of 2 hours, 1 day a week. The practical part will develop in interactive classes in small group of 1.5 hours, 1 day per week.
The expository and interactive sessions will take place face-to-face at the official time published by the centre.
For asynchronous activities and for the delivery of tasks, a mailbox will be enabled in the virtual classroom with the delivery deadline.
Attendance at the sessions is mandatory, so the teachers of each group will monitor the attendance of the students and their participation in the sessions.
Participation in the exhibition and interactive sessions will be complemented by the students' personal work, which includes, among others, activities to search for information and bibliographic material, read such material and prepare and defend individual or collaborative works.
This autonomous work will be guided by the teachers in the hours assigned to tutoring, which will serve to solve doubts and solve problems that the students face in the teaching-learning process. The tutorials will also serve as a feedback channel on the results obtained.
The tutorials will take place in a face-to-face or virtual manner (using the Microsoft Teams corporate tool) at the usual time officially published by the teachers.
The development of the subject will be carried out with the support of the virtual teaching classroom created for this purpose on the Moodle platform.
The assessment of the subject is carried out following a continuous assessment process that takes into account all the activities that must be carried out throughout the semester, considering aspects such as clarity and expository capacity, or mastery of the subject's own terminology or active participation (50%), and an exam focused fundamentally on the assessment of two acquired knowledge, with weight in the final assessment of 50%. The weight of the activities within the continuous assessment will be specified at the beginning of the course in the subject's teaching guide.
For cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and the review of qualifications will be applicable or collected.
To overcome matter there are two opportunities. Students who do not pass the subject on the first opportunity will be entitled to a second one, which will appear on their academic record if the qualification achieved is higher.
The evaluation system for these two opportunities is listed below.
First ordinary opportunity
A) Continuous assessment: Participation in class, resolution and participation in case analysis, debate of readings, completion and presentation of group/individual work and other activities linked to interactive classes. Final qualification weight: 50%.
This part will evaluate the following competencies: CB4, CB5, CG2, CG6, CG9, CE6, CT4, CT5, CT6.
B) Final content exam. Final qualification weight: 50%.
This part will evaluate the following competencies: CG8, CE6, CT2, CT3.
Second extraordinary opportunity for recovery:
The same assessment system will be applied as at the first opportunity, that is, a new final content exam will be carried out, with a weighting established for the first opportunity, which will be added to the score achieved in the continuous assessment.
The final grade resulting from the weighted sum of 50% of the continuous assessment grade and the final exam will apply to all students except for the following exceptions:
The student who is granted the sixth exemption from class attendance (following Instruction No. 1/2017 of the General Secretariat on exemption from class attendance in certain circumstances), will evaluate the specific final exam that will entail 100% grade.
If the student does not reach the minimum percentage of activities to be delivered (75% of those presented), the grade that will appear in the minutes will be the achievement of the activities, it will not be added to the exam grade.
If the student does not reach the minimum grade in the exam (2.5 out of 5), the grade that will appear in the minutes will be achieved in this test, it will not be added to continuous assessment. If the student does not take the final exam, the grade in the minutes will be equal to zero, it will not be added to continuous assessment.
Class attendance will be mandatory. If the student does not attend less than 80% of classes, unless justified cause, they will not be able to take the exam, and the grade in the minutes will be his/her continuous assessment grade weighted by the percentage of class attendance. Prior to the exam dates, teachers will publish a list of two students who satisfy the requirement to be able to take the exam.
In accordance with the Permanence Regulations in force at USC for Bachelor's and Master's studies (art. 5.2), mere attendance and/or participation in calqueras of activities subject to evaluation will mean that the student's final grade is different from NOT PRESENTED.
Or repeating students submit to the same assessment regime.
This is a 4.5 course and each credit is equivalent to 25 hours (total 112.5 hours).
Hours will be distributed in the following way:
- Presence time (expositive, interactive, tutoring and assessment): 45
- Students individual work: 67.5
There are no prerequisites, although it is advisable to have basic knowledge of business organization, about the disciplines related to the operating environment of the company and Business Computing.
