Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech 1. Presentation of theoretical and practical course content in face-to-face classes with the aim of guiding the student in their preparation.

2. The time dedicated to each of the chapters into which the subject is divided will be proportional to the level of difficulty in their preparation and their length. Therefore, the same amount of time will not be devoted to each chapter, but rather some will be explored more extensively than others. This will be at the discretion of the professor teaching the subject.

3. For the chapters that are less difficult to understand, students will be referred to the bibliography for preparation. However, in face-to-face classes, students will be guided on:
a) Specific recommended sources to use.
b) The most relevant and interesting aspects in order to achieve the established learning outcomes for the subject.

4. Joint discussion for all working groups regarding the assigned tasks for each group. Students may participate:
a) On their own initiative, after requesting permission to speak.
b) At the initiative of the professor, who will explicitly request student participation.
Problem solving 1. Development, presentation, and solution of practical examples that the student, either individually or as part of a working group, must complete throughout the course.

2. Exercises and/or readings will be assigned for the student to complete during non-face-to-face hours or autonomous study time. In subsequent face-to-face sessions:
a) A review of the exercises will take place, during which students can participate as described in point 3.
b) Regarding the readings, a dedicated question and answer session will be conducted to clarify any aspects that students raise about the content.

3. Students may participate in the following ways:
a) On their own initiative, after requesting permission to speak.
b) At the initiative of the professor, who will explicitly request student participation.
Objective test Testing will include multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, essay questions, problem-solving exercises, or any combination of the above, focusing on the subject matter and the exercises solved in class.
Seminar Discussion in small groups about the course content, particularly focusing on the tasks referred to as "Problem-solving."

Students may participate in the following ways:
a) On their own initiative, after requesting permission to speak.
b) At the initiative of the professor, who will explicitly request student participation.

Seminar
Description
1. In the lecture session, the student can participate by requesting permission to speak in order to ask questions, clarify doubts, or present their point of view on the topic being discussed at that moment.

2. In problem-solving activities, students can participate as explained in the methodology section.

3. During scheduled tutoring hours, students will be assisted in clarifying any doubts they may have regarding the course material. While it is not mandatory, if the student expresses their doubts and specifies a date and time (within the tutoring hours) they are interested in being attended to via the professor's email, it will facilitate the management and effectiveness of the tutoring session.

4. Without mentioning the person who posed the question, it may be published on Moodle along with its response, with the purpose of benefiting other students. This will be done if the professor deems it appropriate and of general interest.

5. For students with part-time dedication recognition or academic dispensation from attendance, a specific tutoring schedule compatible with their commitment will be agreed upon at the beginning of the course. Therefore, these students need to contact the professor within the first ten days of the semester in which the subject is being taught.

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Problem solving A5 A6 B7 B8 C1 C3 C5 C6 Part of the continuous assessment includes the development of one or more practical cases proposed by the teaching team, which will cover various aspects related to the content of the subject, with the following specifications:

1. The resolution of these cases may require the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), and if deliverables are required, they should be in electronic format.

2. The work will be carried out individually or in groups of 4 to 6 students. Exceptionally, and with prior approval from the teaching team of the subject, a different number of students per group may be allowed.

3. Essential to the continuous assessment is the discussion during class of the development of the assignments with the teaching team, which requires attendance in class.

4. Any doubts regarding this section should be resolved by considering the concept of "continuous assessment" as the basis for the solution.

Assessment comments

A) EVALUATION REGULATIONS:

1. Assessment conditions: It is forbidden to access the exam room with any device that allows communication with the outside and / or storage of information. Cheating on the assessment tests or activities, once confirmed, will result in a falling grade (a 0, as numeric mark) in the corresponding convocatory and both in the first and in the second oportunities. If needed, the mark in the first oportunity act will be altered.

2. Student identification: The student must prove her personality in accordance with current regulations.

B) TYPES OF RATING:

1. Qualification of not presented: Corresponds to the student, when he only participates in evaluation activities that have a weighting of less than 20% on the final qualification, regardless of the qualification achieved.

2. Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic waiver of attendance exemption: Except for the dates approved in the Faculty Board for the final objective test, for the remaining tests a specific calendar of dates compatible with their dedication. For this reason, the student must contact the teacher of the subject in the first ten days of the semester in which the subject is taught, in order to set the aforementioned calendar. The tests will have the same format as for full-time students.

C) ASSESSMENT OPPORTUNITIES:

1. First opportunity: The evaluation criteria previously indicated in this section will be applied.

2. Second opportunity: The evaluation criteria are the same as in the first opportunity.

3. Early opportunity: It will be evaluated through a mixed test that will account for 100% of the final grade.

D) OTHER EVALUATION OBSERVATIONS:

1. In general, without prejudice to what is indicated for students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance exemption, class attendance is required to qualify for the part of the grade corresponding to continuous evaluation, both first chance and second chance. At the end of the evaluation period corresponding to the first opportunity, students who have yet to pass the subject may be proposed activities that allow them to recover the part of the grade corresponding to the continuous evaluation for the second opportunity, which they must request. to the teaching staff of the subject at least ten days before the date of the second chance exam.

2. The scoring criteria for each of the tests will be announced at the time of the test and will be supplied with the statement of the test.
