Through this methodology, the goal is that the look for a solution to a specific problem or situation, based on the knowledge previously worked on, which may have more than one solution. This situation will be proposed in the form of the issues or practical questions that students have to answer. It is a complement to the theoretical knowledge acquired through lectures and study. The students will come to a solution applying their academic background in working environments, in which the intervention and personal contribution of the students is the central axis.
They may be face-to-face or virtual. |
Workbook |
Some readings about academic or current texts, related to the content of the subject so that students can analyze, interpret and understand on the basis of more economic analysis tools, which are studied in the subject. |
Objective test |

It can combine different types of questions: multiple choice, ranking, short answer, discrimination, completion and/or association questions.

It can be done online through the Moodle platform or in person. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
It may consist of problem-solving, short questions, essay questions or multiple-choice questions. Throughout the course, the students will solve some mixed tests.
It can be done online through the Moodle platform or in person.
This is a part of the continuous evaluation. |
ICT practicals |
Students will try to apply the use of ICT to learn effectively, through practical activities based on written, audiovisual and any kind of documentation related to the subject, through the use of information technologies and the communications. It is about expanding knowledge and obtaining information to facilitate autonomous learning and critical reasoning. The Moodle platform will be an essential vehicle for the application of this methodology. |
Seminar |

Assessment comments |
The following observations are made: A) EVALUATION REGULATIONS: 1. Evaluation conditions: It is prohibited to access the exam room with any device that allows communication with the outside and/or storage of information, except in the case of online exams or so indicated by the teaching team. 2. Student identification: The student must prove her personality in accordance with current regulations. B) TYPES OF RATING: 1. Qualification of not presented ("no presentado"): Corresponds to the student, when she only participates in evaluation activities weighted less than 20% on the final qualification, regardless of the achieved qualification. 2. Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic waiver of attendance exemption: Students with recognition of part-time dedication, even if they are exempt from attendance, will be evaluated with the same criteria as full-time students. C) EVALUATION OPPORTUNITIES: 1. First opportunity: the evaluation criteria previously indicated in this section will be applied. 2. Second Opportunity: The evaluation criteria are the same for all evaluation opportunities. In the evaluation of the second chance (article 18, section 5, of the Norms of Evaluation, Review and Claims of Qualifications of Bachelor and Master Studies) students will have the opportunity to take a final test, consisting of a mixed quiz, equivalent to 100% of the evaluation, in which the students must demonstrate that they have achieved the competences of the subject. 3. In Advance call: the conditions of evaluation of the advanced opportunity (art. 19 of the Norms of Evaluation, Review and Claims of the Qualifications of the Studies of Degree and Master) will be specific for this opportunity. This will be evaluated through a mixed test that will represent 100% of the final grade. D) OTHER EVALUATION OBSERVATIONS: 1. Attendance at classes is mandatory for the assessment of the Mixec objective/subjecti e tests, that are carried out during the course. 2. To pass the subject it will be necessary to achieve a final grade (CF) of 5 out of 10. 3. The final exams (EX) will be graded out of 10, and a minimum of 5 points must be obtained to pass. In this case, the final grade will be calculated using the following formula: CF=EC+EX(10-EC)/10, where EC indicates the score obtained in the continuous evaluation during the course, which represents 30%, that is, a maximum of 3 points. 4. Detection of fraud, whether plagiarism or any other action will result in a final score of 0 points. OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. The delivery of the documentary works carried out in this subject: a. It will be requested in virtual format and / or computer support b. It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them 2. The importance of ethical principles related to sustainability values in personal and professional behavior must be taken into account. 3. Work will be done to identify and modify prejudices and sexist attitudes and the environment will be influenced to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. 4.It will facilitate the full integration of students who, for physical, sensory, psychological or sociocultural reasons, experience difficulties to an adequate, equal and profitable access to university life. 5. The principal of democratic debate will be supported in the class sessions: listening to and respecting all of the diverse opinions concerning the topics addressed, whether they are raised by teachers or students.

Other comments |
It is recommended to follow regularly the indications and news of the MOODLE platform, since this platform, together with the face-to-face classes; It constitutes an essential communication system between the teaching team and the students. Additionally, the next general observations and recommendations are made: 1. The delivery of the outstanding works for this subject will never be printed, and instead of, they should be delivered:
a. by means of virtual/online procedure
b. through the Moodle platform
2. The ethic principles and values of personal and professional sustainable behaviour should be assumed. 3. Everyone should try to identify and modify sexist pre-judgements trying to avoid them and boosting equalitarian behaviours. 4. The full inclusion of disabled students should be facilitated and promoted. Regardless of the physical, psychologic, sensorial or socio-cultural reasons, discrimination must be avoided for all the university community and helping to achieve equalitarian university environments.
