Basic and General
CB1 - That the students have demonstrated to possess and understand knowledge in a study area that starts from the general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the forefront of their field of study.
CB2 - That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the competencies that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
CB3 - That students have the ability to collect and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues
CB4 - That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to a specialized and non-specialized audience.
CB5 - That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
CG1 - Possess and understand the knowledge that defines Business Administration and Management as a scientific discipline, including its theories, history, methods, techniques and areas of application, at a level that is supported by the most advanced publications and includes some of the most relevant aspects that are at the forefront of knowledge in this field.
CG2 - Know how to develop and defend arguments on economic issues at a general level, as well as solve problems on these issues, making use of their knowledge of business reality, theories, models and their own scientific methods.
CG4 - Know how to communicate information, ideas, problems and proposed solutions to business issues to both a specialized and non-specialized audience, using both verbal and written language and the means and techniques of representing relationships and presenting data that they are used in discipline.
CG5 - Possess the general knowledge and learning skills necessary to continue studying and to undertake specialized studies in the various areas of the company and in other related areas, with a high degree of autonomy.

As this is the first finance subject studied in the degree, Financial Operations Analysis introduces the student to the theoretical-practical management of financial concepts and it is especially important that they perceive the applicability of its contents. In particular, in the short and medium term, the subject must provide students with the necessary knowledge to study subjects related to the financial field in subsequent years and, in the long term, it must provide future professionals with the tools and knowledge necessary to financial decision-making, both for companies and for other institutions, and even for domestic economies.
Therefore, the sessions dedicated to the expository classes are intended to introduce and explain the basic aspects of each topic contained in the program, providing the necessary additional information that allows the proper development of the autonomous learning process.
Practice is key to achieving the established medium and long-term objectives. This will consist on the resolution of exercises and cases, and the hours of autonomous work of the student, which are aimed at confronting the student with decision-making.
Expository sessions will take place in the assigned classroom and the practical sessions can be both in the regular classroom and in the computer rooms using Excel. The tutorials will be mainly face-to-face.
To correctly assess the competences that students must acquire, it is used the results obtained in a final theoretical-practical exam and the continuous evaluation of student work. Therefore, the evaluation system includes two elements:
1. Final theoretical-practical exam of the topics included in the subject's program, with a weighting of 70% of the final grade. It is a test consisting of a part of theoretical-practical test questions and another part, one or more practical exercises. A 3.5 out of 7 points is required to pass the exam.
2. Continuous evaluation. Its weight is 30% of the final grade. The evaluated activities include class participation, the resolution of proposed content exercises related to the subject's theme, carrying out assignments and tests, and attending classrooms, etc. All these activities previously announced in the classroom.
Any student can take the final exam, whether or not they have completed the activities proposed in the continuous assessment. In the case of not completing the continuous assessment tasks, your score will be exclusively that of the final exam, opting for 70% of the grade.
The evaluation system of the students will be independent of their condition of repeater or not, and of the call to which it is presented. Those students exempt from attendance by official waiver will take an exam on the official date opting for 100% of the grade.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the collection in the "Norm of assessment of academic performance two students and review of qualifications" will apply.
The competences evaluated are the following:
For final exam: CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5, CG1, CG2, CG4, CG5, C1, C3, D6, D8, D10, D11
By continuous evaluation: CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5, CT1, CT6, CT7, CT8, CT9, CT10, CT18, CT21
The list of the different activities that can be evaluated throughout the course, their weighting and how they will be supervised, will be indicated in the teaching guide of the subject that will be published in the virtual classroom at the beginning of the course.
Contact hours: 48
Group tutoring: 3
Non-contact hours:
Individual or group autonomous study: 45
Preparation of practices: reading of cases, texts and articles, writing of conclusions and works: 34
Recommended reading, library activities or similar: 10
Preparation of oral presentations, debates or similar: 10
Total volume of work: 150 hours
The handling of Excel would allow the student to quickly solve many of the exercises that are worked in the classroom.
