GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS ON THE EVALUATION
The evaluation is carried out aims to take into consideration:
-The assessment of the training process followed by the student.
-Assessment of theoretical knowledge acquired.
-Evaluation of the ability to apply such knowledge.
The ASPECTS value and evaluation criteria. Criteria to assess aspects Instrument
1) Support the activities present. Parts of signatures.
2) Active participation in class. Active participation in the seminar. Observation and teacher's notes
3) Work Structure. References used. Originality. Jobs delivered presentation
4) Knowledge Learning teóricos.Aplicación knowledge written final exam
5) Other relevance and quality standards ad hoc weighting of each item
Ponderation of each item in each group
Grupo A: continuous evaluation 30 %, final exam 70 %
Grupo B: continuous evaluation 30 %, final exam 70 %
Grupo C: continuous evaluation 20 %, final exam 80%
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of applying the provisions of Article 5.2 of the USC's rules on permanence in the graduate and masters, it is understood that the student has not made any assessable academic activity when he/she has not submitted to final exam of the subject, in which case he/she will be on record as "absent from exam".

-Study or study group: 60 hours.
-Preparation of oral presentations, debates and similar: 12.5 hours
-Solving exercises, practical cases and other work: 17.5 hours3
Al tratarse de una materia encuadrada en el primero cuatrimestre del primero curso del grado, es de vital importancia que el alumno evite el "descuido inicial", buscando en la asistencia a clase y en la comunicación con el profesor las orientaciones y el apoyo que precise. Aquellos alumnos considerados "de letras" deberán dejar a un lado su posible aversión al razonamiento numérico, y concienciarse de que el nivel de matemáticas necesario para superar esta materia no pasa de ser elemental. Respeto de los temas de contabilidad, otro aspecto básico es lo de alcanzar desde lo principio una comprensión de la lógica fundamental del método de la partida doble, y de las relaciones entre las masas patrimoniales. De no hacerlo así, el alumno corre el riesgo de ver estrangulado su proceso de aprendizaje y malgastar la mayor parte de sus esfuerzos.
En general, el carácter profundamente lógico y sistemático de la economía reduce el esfuerzo memorístico en el aprendizaje, pero exige a cambio un mayor esfuerzo de comprensión, por lo que esta materia no es desde luego la mejor candidata para "dejarla para última hora". La asistencia regular a clase, el trabajo sostenido en el día a día, y la realización de los ejercicios a medida que se van estudiando los respectivos temas teóricos, constituyen pues piezas clave en la preparación de la materia. Otro tanto cabe decir de la consulta de las dudas y dificultades al profesor, bien en las propias clases, bien en sus tutorías.
Será comunicado por cada profesor en su guía docente a organización de las tutorías para el estudiantado.
Al largo del curso se mantendrá abierta un aula virtual de esta materia, en la que estará a su disposición el material complementario que el profesor estime oportuno, y en la que se fijarán los trabajos a realizar por los alumnos. Por tanto, el seguimiento a través del aula virtual resulta imprescindible para la materia.
Aquellos estudiantes matriculados en esta materia y en este grupo podrán acceder mediante la cuenta de correo de la RAI que tienen constituida, introduciendo la cuenta de correo completa y la contraseña en el Campus Virtual de la USC (http://www.usc.es/campusvirtual/). En caso de dudas sobre su funcionamiento podrá adquirir información en las páginas virtuales del CETA: http://www.usc.es/ceta.
