| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Lesson given by the lecturer that may have different formats (theory, problems and/or general examples, general guidelines of the subject, etc.). The lecturer might use audiovisual and computer means. In addition, s/he can introduce some questions posed to the students. The objective is to introduce the student into the concepts of the subject, in order to transmit the knowledge base that the student needs to start his/her work and his/her learning.
|
| Workshop |
The main objective in these classes will be the realization of especially practical tasks, with the lecturer's support and supervision: proposal and solution of applications from the theory, proposal and supervision of works, problems, exercises, presentations, expositions, debates and comments on works, solving doubts about the theory, etc. It is also possible that the lecturer explains some concepts, especially for clarifying their application, or in any case as a mere comment about the keynote speech.
Evaluation activities will be carried out during these classes; these activities will be individual or group exercises. |
| ICT practicals |
The main objective in these classes will be the development of especially practical tasks, with the lecturer's support and supervision. The computer is employed in these classes, which are reserved for lessons or concepts where the intensity of the calculations needs the computer tool. In addition, the students are introduced into the work with Statistics and Econometrics by using computer means. |
| Collaborative learning |
Work in groups of students in order to solve the tasks assigned by the teacher to optimize their own learning and that of the rest of classmates. Before handling the work in groups, several classes will be dedicated to pose the doubts and/or difficulties found when doing the work. In this manner, a debate is created among the students, their classmates and the lecturer, what encourages the interrelation in the work and the critical spirit.
Students will carry out group works so as to solve different theoretical-practical questions related to lessons of the syllabus; at the end, the group should present its work, with different possibilities regarding its presentation (oral or written); the election of the method will depend on the evolution of the teaching. |
| Problem solving |
Personalized attention to the student in order to solve doubts related to the different lessons, not only when solving exercises but at any stage of the learning process. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test |
A mixed test will be carried out, which will correspond to the final exam. As this test is considered essential for the evaluation, it is necessary to obtain a minimum percentage of the total mark in order to compute (incorporate) the remaining evaluation activities.
As an alternative to this mixed test and with the aim of promoting the continued work by the student, the lecturer will propose intermediate mixed tests along the teaching period. Passing all these intermediate tests is equivalent to pass the final test. |
