The evaluation criteria are as follows

A) EVALUATION REGULATIONS:

1. Evaluation conditions: It is forbidden to access theexam room with any device that allows communication with the outside and/orstorage of information, except in the case of online exams or so indicated bythe teaching team.

2. Identification of the student: The student must bring andshow his/her ID card or passport the day of the exam in accordance with currentregulations.

B) SPECIFIC EVALUATIONS:

1. Students that did not show up (in Spanish, "No presentado" grading): Corresponds to the student,when he/she only participates in evaluation activities weighted less than 20% onthe final grade, regardless of the achieved grade.

2. Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance exemption: In the first and second opportunity, the evaluation criteria will be considered according to the performance of a mixed test with a weight of 100% over the final grade. It will consist of a test in which theoretical and practical questions will be included in which the students will have to demonstrate that they have achieved the competences and the learning results of the subject.

C) GRADING OPPORTUNITIES:

1. First opportunity: the evaluation criteria previously indicated inthis section will be applied.

2. Second opportunity: the criteria of the first opportunity are maintained and the grades achieved in the continuous assessment will be preserved. However, the possibility of retaking the part corresponding to "Case Studies" is offered. Alternatively, upon request, the student will have the opportunity to take a mixed test on the date of the official calendar, equivalent to 100% of the final grade.

3. Advance call: The conditions for evaluating this call will be specific to this opportunity. This will be evaluated through a mixed test that will represent 100% of the final grade.

D) OTHER EVALUATION OBSERVATIONS:

1. On minimums in the evaluation criteria: A minimum grade is not required in the part of the continuous assessment. For the mixed test it is necessary to obtain 50% of the possible grade to be able to pass the subject. This requirement applies to both the first and second opportunities. For the whole activities (the two parts), the student must obtain a minimum score of 5 points to pass the course, but as long as the mixed test reaches a minimum of 50% of the test score.

2. Detection of fraud, whether plagiarism or any other action, will result in a final grade of 0 points. Fail grade
in the call in which the offense is committed and with respect to the subject
in which it was committed: the student will be qualified with “fail” (in
Spanish, “suspenso") (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the
academic year, whether the commission of the offense occurs on the first
opportunity or on the second. To do this, the grade will be modified in the
first opportunity record, if necessary.

Methodologies	Description
Collaborative learning	Guided teaching-learning procedures (overseen in person and/or using ICT methods) based on organisation of class into small groups in which students work together to solve tasks assigned by teacher, with aim of optimising their learning experience and that of other members of group
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning
Case study	Teaching-learning method in which students are presented with a specific set of real-life circumstances and a problem (‘case’) which they must attempt to understand, assess and solve as a group through a process of discussion. Students should be able to analyse a series of facts relating to a particular area of knowledge or activity, and arrive at a rational conclusion via a process of discussion within small work groups In particular, the group work will be carried out (individual or in group) activities in relation to one of the themes of the program. The steps to follow are: subject selection, documentation, general evaluation, periodic sessions with the teacher for follow-up, preparation of the presentation and presentation in the classroom.
Aprendizaxe servizo	Methodology that combines community service with learning in a single project, in which the student body is trained working on real needs of their environment in order to improve it. In this subject, students can develop activities within the project: "Economy with science and conscience: promoting sustainable development"
Mixed objective/subjective test	Mixed test consisting of essay-type and objective test questions. Essay section consists of open (extended answer) questions; objective test may contain multiple-choice, ordering and sequencing, short answer, binary, completion and/or multiple-matching questions.
