Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Twelve full group class sessions by videoconference are scheduled. The students will have access to the different materials through the Moodle platform of the UDC. |
Seminar |
During the seminar classes, exercises and case studies will be discussed. The student should also develop different papers and written reports and present them orally.
|
Objective test |
The objective test will consist of theoretical, practical and/or theoretical-practical questions about all the contents of the subject.
|
Personalized attention |
|
Description |
Students with appreciation a part-time academic and attendance waiver of exemption may complete the seminars in individual and/or group tutoring schedule to be agreed with the teachers. The activities undertaken in these tutorials will be similar to those of students in ordinary regime and consideration for the final assessment. |

Assessment comments |
Taking into account that, in the industry, the development of writing reports and oral presentations is important, it will be valued:
- Clarity.
- Non-spelling errors.
- Quick response of the writing reports to be presented by the student.
In the case of students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic assistance waiver, the qualification of the seminars will be replaced by that obtained in the personal tutorials.
Students who attend fewer than 25% of planned academic activities and do not assist to the objective test, will be qualified as "Not presented".
