Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
The teaching staff will explain each of the topics of the program. It consists on the exhibition of some contents by the teaching staff, complemented with audiovisual media and questions addressed to the students. They may be face-to-face or virtual.
|
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.
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 |
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. Throughout the course, students must solve some objective tests. It can be done online through the Moodle platform or in person. |
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 |
Lectures in small groups of students for detailed analysis of specific problems of the syllabus. They will be made virtually.
|
Directed discussion |
Exercises and theoretical and practical questions analyzed and resolved in interactive sessions (they may be face-to-face or virtual) |

Assessment comments |
1.- The final mark (F) will be determined as follows: F=EC+EX(10-EC)/10 where EC represents the mark obtained by continuous evaluation and EX is the mark obtained in the final exam. In order to pass the subject any student must obtain 5 points (out of 10) in the final exam. 2.- Problem solving and case study will the continuous evaluation activities of this subject. They will be done exclusively in the class time devoted to that purpose or via Moodle at the previously scheduled time and date. The maximum score that a pupil can get by continuous evaluation is 3 points. 3. The assessment criterion will be the same for all the official opportunities, including the so called "early opportunity". In all of them the final exam will be carried out at the officially established date. 4. A student will get a final mark of "No Presentado" if he/she does not take part in at least 20% of the assessments activities. OTHER OBSERVATIONS: All the aspects related to "dispensa académica", "dedicación al estudio", "permanencia" and "fraude académico" are subject to the current legislation of the UDC. RECOMMENDATIONS: Students are encouraged to attend the lectures and to show an important level of participation. We strongly recommend the use of the textbooks listed in the "sources of information" section. Additionally, students must try to solve the problem sets when they are published.

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. 5. Second, the different applicable regulations for university teaching will be collected, I will incorporate a gender perspective in this subject (non-sexist language will be used, bibliography of authors of both sexes will be used, students will be encouraged to intervene in class...) . 6. Work to identify and modify prejudices and sexist attitudes and influence others to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. 7. Situations of discrimination based on gender should be detected and actions and measures to correct them should be provided.
ATTENTION TO DIVERSITY The course may be adapted to the student body that requires the adoption of measures aimed at supporting diversity (physical, visual, auditory, cognitive, learning or related to mental health). If this is the case, they must contact the services available at the UDC/in the center: within the official deadlines stipulated prior to each academic semester, with the Unit for Attention to Diversity (https://www.udc.es /cufie/ADI/apoioalumnado/); failing that, with the ADI tutor of the Faculty.
