The expositive sessions will be used to introduce the basic contents of the topics that make up the program, emphasizing the especially relevant aspects and the relationships between them. For this purpose, the flipped classroom and/or magisterial class will be used as the main didactic strategies depending on the needs that arise during the development of the expositive sessions of the subject, the diversity of the students, the characteristics of the students... etc. In the teaching-learning strategy oriented to the flipped classroom, the students will be provided with the necessary material a few days before the beginning of each theme. The teachers, for their part, will propose different activities (cases, debates, resolution of exercises...) aimed at complementing, supporting and helping in the formation and understanding of the fundamental concepts in the face-to-face lecture sessions. The strategy based on the master class, the teacher will develop the subject's agenda, explaining the topics, and including complementary activities. In both strategies, the teaching-learning process will be supervised through follow-up activities as part of the evaluation process.
The interactive sessions will be based on the application of the theoretical concepts exposed in the expositive sessions. These sessions are aimed at carrying out, developing and presenting a collaborative work based on international human resources management.
Participation in the expositive and interactive sessions will be complemented with the students' personal work, which includes, among others, information and bibliographic material search activities, reading of such material, and/or the preparation and defense of individual or collaborative work.
The communication with the students, the uploading of documentation, the request of assignments, the delivery of tasks/reports/assignments, the monitoring of learning will be done through the virtual campus.
Professors will monitor student attendance and participation.
Both autonomous and classroom work will be guided by the teacher in the classes and/or in the hours assigned to tutorials, which will serve to solve doubts and problems faced by the students in the teaching-learning process. The tutorials will also serve as a feedback channel on the degree of assimilation of contents by the students.
The tutoring sessions will be preferably face-to-face. If necessary, they can also be carried out virtually.
The evaluation of the course will be carried out through procedures based on continuous formative evaluation (100% of the final grade). For this purpose, participation in all the activities developed during the four-month period will be assessed, without a final test. There are two opportunities to pass the course. Students who do not pass the course in the first opportunity will have the right to a second one, which will be the one that appears in their academic record in case the qualification obtained is higher. The evaluation system for these two opportunities is shown below.
First ordinary opportunity:
Continuous evaluation: 100% final grade.
The distribution of the weight of the continuous evaluation will be as follows:
- Accomplishment of individual activities: 40%.
- Collaborative work: 40%.
- Defense and exposition of the collaborative work: 20%.
The continuous evaluation will consider both student participation and the development of activities related to the expositive and/or interactive classes proposed throughout the period individually or collaboratively (resolution and participation in the analysis of cases, discussion of readings, completion and presentation of work and other activities, as well as attitude and behavior in class).
In addition, to pass the subject, the aggregate score must be equal or higher than 5 points out of 10. Students who do not obtain any score related to the activities carried out in the sessions will have to pass a content exam that will account for 100% of the score.
Second extraordinary opportunity of recovery:
The same evaluation system will be applied as in the first opportunity. The teacher will propose new activities (such as cases, readings and assignments) to be worked on and solved by the students individually.
In accordance with the Permanence Regulations in force in the USC for Bachelor and Master studies (art. 5.2), the mere attendance and/or participation in any of the activities subject to evaluation will mean that the student's final grade will be different from NOT PRESENTED.
Students who have been given dispensation from attendance following the Instruction No. 1/2017 of the General Secretariat on the dispensation of class attendance in certain circumstances, will be evaluated with a specific final exam that will account for 100% of the score.
The course is 4.5 credits and each credit is equivalent to 25 hours. The total work hours are distributed as follows: Face-to-face (including expository teaching hours, interactive teaching, tutorials and evaluation): 45. Student's personal work: 67.5.
To maximize learning, it is recommended that students regularly attend lectures and interactive sessions, actively participate in all activities proposed by the faculty and consult the basic bibliography and other recommended material. The tutorials are a useful resource that students should use as many times as necessary. Access to the virtual campus to find out about different questions that arise throughout the course and to review complementary material before classes facilitates student participation and their ability to acquire knowledge.
