Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
They will be expository sessions in which the various topics of the subject will be introduced and described through presentations (using appropriate audiovisual media) that will include theory and examples. |
ICT practicals |
Practical classes will be developed using statistical software, in which its programming and application will be introduced based on real and simulated cases. |
Case study |
The statistical techniques taught in the subject will be applied to solve exercises and real and simulated case studies in the field of digital information management. |
Supervised projects |
Individual and/or group work will be carried out, supervised by the teachers of the subject, in which the resolution, by means of the application of statistical techniques and R software, of practical exercises or particular case studies related to the field of communication and information sciences will be approached. A review study of a specific topic of the subject or of the software used may also be carried out. The works may be proposed by the teachers or by the students themselves (the proposals will be taken into account or not always according to the teacher's criteria).

Objective test |
It will consist of a multiple-choice test on the contents taught in the subject.

Description |
In the master classes, discussion among the students and between the students and the teacher will be encouraged at all times. For the resolution of problems it will be important to attend personally to the students in case of possible doubts that may arise. This attention will also serve, on the one hand, to the teacher to detect possible problems in the methodology used to teach the subject and, on the other hand, to the students to consolidate theoretical knowledge and to express their concerns about the subject. It will also be essential to give personalized attention to the student during the ICT practical classes, especially until he/she becomes familiar with the statistical software to be used, as well as in the resolution of case studies.

Assessment comments |
<p><b>First opportunity</b></p><p><b></b></p><p>There will be a multiple-choice test of 10 to 20 questions that represents 40% of the grade. On the other hand, the continuous evaluation will consist of the attendance and/or delivery of practices related to the learning and application of the statistical software R for the resolution of problems in the field of digital information management (20% of the overall grade), in addition to the delivery of one or several works of application of statistics for the resolution of case studies in digital documentation (alternatively they can be works of revision or extension of the subject) that represents 40% of the total grade.</p><p><b></b></p><p><b><strong>Second opportunity</strong></b></p><p><b></b></p><p>In the evaluation of the second opportunity, the same criteria corresponding to the first opportunity will be followed.</p><p><b></b></p><p><b><strong>Advanced call</strong></b></p><p><b></b></p><p>All the previous observations are applicable to students who request the advanced call of the exam.</p><p><b></b></p><p><b><strong>No-show grade</strong></b></p><p><b></b></p><p>In any of the two annual opportunities a NON PRESENTADO will appear in those cases in which the student does not attend the official exam of the subject.</p><p><b></b></p><p><b><strong>Student with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance.</strong></b></p><p><b></b></p><p>In the case of students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance who decide not to attend classes, they will be evaluated in both opportunities as the rest of the students who are in a similar situation. </p><p><b></b></p><p>The fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities will directly imply the grade of "0" in the subject in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all evaluation activities for the extraordinary call.</p>

<p>To help to achieve a sustainable environment and meet the objective of action number 5: “Healthy and sustainable environmental and social teaching and research” of the "Green Campus Ferrol Action Plan":</p><p>1.- The delivery of the documentary works carried out in this subject:</p><p>1.1. It will be requested in virtual format and/or computer support.</p><p>1.2. It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them.</p><p>1.3. If done on paper:</p><p>-Plastics will not be used.</p><p>- Double-sided prints will be made.</p><p>- Recycled paper will be used.</p><p>- Draft printing will be avoided.</p><p>2.- A sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment must be made.</p><p>3.- The importance of ethical principles related to the values ??of sustainability in personal and professional behavior must be taken into account.</p><p>4.- As it is included in the different regulations of application for university teaching, the gender perspective must be incorporated in this subject (non-sexist language will be used, bibliography of authors of both sexes will be used, intervention in student class will be encouraged and students...).</p><p>5.- We will work to identify and modify prejudices and sexist attitudes, and the environment will be influenced to modify them and promote values ??of respect and equality.</p><p>6. Situations of discrimination based on gender must be detected and actions and measures will be proposed to correct them.</p><p>7. The full integration of students who, due to physical, sensorial, psychic or sociocultural reasons, experience difficulties in an ideal, egalitarian and profitable access to university life will be facilitated.</p> |
