This module is taught in English.
There will be one hour of synchronous non-face-to-face teaching and one hour of synchronous non-face-to-face tutoring each week.
In the synchronous non-face-to-face session, the topics and tasks will be presented. The resources and materials used in these official sessions will be available in the virtual classroom.
The student will upload the complementary activities and tasks to the virtual classroom, since this will be the main platform of the training process. Later, the student will discuss the contents of the tasks with the teacher, in order to obtain a grade for them. The assigned activities and tasks will be graded within a period not exceeding one month.
On the other hand, students can get in touch with the teaching staff through their email, and answers will be received within a maximum period of 48 hours (on school days).
During the weekly hour of specific tutorials, students will have the opportunity to request personalized advice that will allow them to better achieve the objectives of this module.
FIRST TRY:
In this first opportunity, 60% of the final grade will correspond to the activities and work scheduled in the interactive sessions. In order to enjoy this continuous evaluation system, it is necessary to submit all the tasks scheduled on the Virtual Campus and discuss them with the professor.
The other 40% of the final grade will correspond to the grade of the mandatory final exam, which will cover the contents of the subject.
SECOND TRY AND RETAKERS
The criteria, requirements and evaluation percentages will be the same as for the first opportunity: the student will have the opportunity to resubmit, or perform for the first time, the scheduled tasks.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for evaluating the academic performance of students and reviewing grades” will apply.
As specified in the official study program for this degree program, this six-ECTS-credit subject will require 150 hours of work by the students: lectures, voluntary tutorials, 4 hours of exams and 120 hours of autonomous learning outside the classroom.
Preparation and delivery of tasks in Virtual Campus, within the deadline.
