Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
The teaching staff will explain each of the topics of the program, insisting on the fundamental concepts and their relationships. The oral presentation made by the teaching staff may be complemented with the support of audiovisual media and with the posing of some questions addressed to the students, to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning and facilitate participation. |
Problem solving |
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. |
Workbook |
Reading academic or current texts related to the content of the subject will be recommended for students to analyze, interpreting and understanding them based on the tools of economic analysis, which are studied in the matter. |
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. |
Objective test |
This methodology consists of a test for learning assessment. It can combine different types of questions: multiple choice, ranking, short answer, discrimination, completion, and/or association questions. It can also be made with just a kind of any of these questions. It may include both theoretical and practical questions or problems.
It can be done online through the Moodle platform or in person. |
Supervised projects |
Autonomous and in-depth study of some of the socio-economic problems detected, based on research work and the consequent foundation in bibliographic sources, under the tutelage of the teacher. |
Collaborative learning |
A teaching-learning methodology that allows dividing the class into small groups, promoting joint work to solve academic tasks in a non-competitive way. The teacher will guide the task solving process either in person or with the support of ICT. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
It may consist of problem-solving, short questions, essay questions or multiple-choice questions.
This is a part of the continuous evaluation.
It can be done online through the Moodle platform or in person. The teaching staff will indicate the proper mode at its time.

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.
