| Problem solving | A5 A6 A7 A11 A13 A14 B1 B2 B5 C1 C2 C3 C4 C6 C8 | This task is intended for one single content of the subject (Topic 6). It is intended to allow students to combine other methodologies such as problem solving, guided practice (guided worksheets), etc. However, bearing in mind that with the subject, the student develops purely practical tasks on this topic with the support and supervision of the teaching staff. All this will only be carried out when topic 6 is explained. The teacher will present to the students the notes of this topic (through the Virtual Campus); in the expository classes she will explain with solutions of problems @dito notes; in the interactive classes the teacher will present guided practices so that the student can carry them out FOR ALL THIS THE STUDENT MUST BRING THE REVISED APUNTES. Students must carry out all the proposed practices and incorporate them into a single document, in the form of a dossier, which they will hand in to the teacher by the established deadline, under the name of "Research Methods". |

| Mixed objective/subjective test | A5 A6 A11 A13 B1 B2 B5 B6 C1 C2 C3 C4 C6 C8 | The exam of the 1st and 2nd exam sessions is what refers to the evaluation of this methodology and consists of two parts: 1-METHODS part (theory) will consist of a number of open response items, or short answer or true and false but justifying (the type of questions will be determined by the teaching staff). This part will be passed when a score of 5 out of 10 points is reached, which is the maximum score that can be reached here (no marks will be retained for any part, in any exam session, if the student fails). 2-PART ANALYSIS (practical). This part consists of several statistical problems or short answer questions or true/false questions (the teacher will decide the type of questions). This part is passed when a score of 5 out of 10 points is reached, which is the maximum score that can be reached here (no marks will be kept for any part, in any exam session, if you fail). EXPLANATORY NOTES: A) In both parts (Technical part and Analysis part), questions answered incorrectly will be subtracted from the maximum mark obtained here. B) The teachers, before the end of the teaching period, may carry out a mock test of this exam, during the class timetable of the subject. Attendance at this mock test is not compulsory. c) The exam must be passed (both parts) in order for the continuous assessment to be taken into account. In order to pass, it is essential that both requirements are met: (a) 5 points or more are obtained in the mixed test; and (b) at least half of the value of each of the parts (technical part and analysis part) is reached. d) If any of the parts are failed (the minimum passing score is not reached) or if the continuous assessment (dosiseres) is not passed, the student must take the next exam with everything. NO PARTS OF ANY EXAM FROM ONE EXAM SESSION WILL BE KEPT FOR ANOTHER OR OTHER EXAM SESSIONS, NOR WILL THE MARKS OF THE DOSSIERS. e) The dates of the exams are set by the faculty board, so they do not move. |

| Case study | A6 A7 A11 A14 B1 B2 B4 B5 B6 C1 C2 C3 C4 C6 C8 | This task is aimed at the contents of the subject (Topic 2, 3, 4 and 5). It is intended to enable students to combine other methodologies such as problem solving, guided practice (guided worksheets), etc. But bearing in mind that with it the students develop purely practical tasks on this topic with the support and supervision of the teachers. All this will only take place when these topics are explained. The teacher will present to the students the notes of this subject (through the Virtual Campus); in the expository classes she will explain with cases @dito notes; in the interactive classes the teacher will present guided practices (guided cards) for the students to carry them out FOR ALL THIS THE STUDENTS MUST BRING THE REVISED APUNTES. Students must carry out all the proposed practices and incorporate them into a single document, as a dossier, which they will hand in to the teacher within the established deadline, under the name "Research Methods". |

In the evaluation of the subject (set out in the section of the teaching guide, called "Step 7: Evaluation") the following will be taken into account first of all: a)STUDENTS WHO ALWAYS ATTEND CLASSES (or students with academic dispensation) (on-site students) are considered to attend 80%, this is equivalent to not having more than 3 unexcused absences. Medical absences are excused (with a correctly covered receipt from a registered doctor) and absences due to work (with a correctly covered receipt from the work where it is justified that the student is working during class hours) or any other absence, always with the approved documentation. It will not be possible to have more than two absences in each of the parts of the subject (1st Part (subjects 1,2,3,4 and 5) and 2nd Part (subject 6). The evaluation of these students takes into account the following: 1-The mixed test; 2-Case studies (dossier 1 and interactive classes) and 3-Problem solving (dossier 2 and interactive classes). The evaluations of part 2 and 3 will take place in the evening after the delivery of the dossier. All ATTENDING OR PRESENT students must pass the continuous assessment (dossiers) in order to be able to take the mixed test under the conditions explained for this group of students. The continuous assessment is equivalent to 50% of the final mark of the subject (being necessary to reach the minimum of 40% to consider that this part has been passed. It must be taken into account that this is not real as long as the students do not take the mixed test and pass it). Likewise, it is essential to achieve a minimum of 25% out of 50% in the mixed test to consider this assessment passed (taking into account the need to reach a minimum in each part, as specified in the corresponding section in the teaching guide). The final mark of the subject of these students will be: the mark of the mixed test if they pass it and the mark of the continuous assessment (an average is made). This will always be the case if the mixed test is not passed, the continuous assessment is not used to pass the subject (this means that even if you pass the continuous assessment you have not passed the subject and you have not passed 50% of the subject). The teacher can use the continuous assessment to enable the student to pass the combined test (e.g. if a minimum mark is achieved in one part of the combined test and a pass in another part, the teacher counts the assessment as a pass (5)). The mixed test for these students, as well as the classes are PRESENT. VERY IMPORTANT: STUDENTS MUST COMPLY WITH THIS MODALITY IN THE VIRTUAL CAMPUS, for this the teacher will send emails, through the virtual campus, for the students to do this task and other tasks). IF THIS TASK AND OTHER TASKS ARE NOT DONE IN THE PERIOD ESTABLISHED BY THE TEACHER IN THE VIRTUAL CAMPUS, STUDENTS AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NON PRESENT OR NON ATTENDING (see next section b). b) STUDENTS WHO DO NOT ALWAYS ATTEND CLASSES (non-attending students) are considered to be non-attending when they miss more than 80% of their classes, i.e. they have more than three unexcused absences, or they have more than two absences in one of the parts of the subject. Medical absences are excused (with proof correctly provided by a registered doctor) and absences due to work (with proof correctly provided by the work where it is justified that the student is working during class hours). It can also be those students who choose this option from the beginning of the course (on the first day of class the teachers will present this option that the students can choose). Or who do not do any of the tasks planned by the teacher at the beginning of the course and who communicate this to the students through the virtual campus. These students will sit the 1st and 2nd exams. It is recommended that students complete the two dossiers of the subject independently, as these will be assessed in the final exam of the subject (60%), together with the theoretical contents of the mixed exam (40%). These students must pass both parts of the mixed exam in order to pass the subject (they will pass both parts with a 5 in each of them). |
