Study programme competences / results |
The aim for students is to acquire the knowledge and perspective of economic activity as a subsystem integrated into the global system of society, understood as a general body or as a whole, with its corresponding integral parts, including those corresponding to economic actions, with their specific and common purposes. In this global or overall vision, it is about making known that the students understand the connections, implications, reciprocity and reflexivity of the economic activity within the general activity of society. That the students have as clear as possible the role of economic activity in the scenario of society. |

Workshop |
Oriented training to the application of apprenticeships in which different methodologies can be combined (exhibitions, simulations, debates, problem solving, guided practices, etc.) through which the student develops eminently practical tasks on a specific topic, with the support and supervision of the teaching staff. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral presentation complemented with the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions addressed to students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning. The master class is also known as lecture, expository method or master class. This last modality is usually reserved to a special type of lesson given by a teacher on special occasions, with a content that supposes an original elaboration and based on the almost exclusive use of the word as a way of transmitting the information to the audience. |
Personalized attention |
|
Description |
The personalized attention in office tutorials will allow the teacher to guide the student on objectives and methodology.
The hours of personalized attention may be devoted to the explanation, comment and / or correction of the workshop practices.
In addition to the schedule of face-to-face tutoring in the hours that are determined at the beginning of the course by each teacher, the student will be able to access virtual tutorials through the Moodle tool, as well as through the teacher's email.
Two subgroups of 15 students will be formed. A tutorial will be established with a duration of 6 hours divided into three sessions of 2 hours each to answer questions about the tutored work or about exam preparation. Advance notice will be given of where they will be held. |
