General description Neste curso, expoñense os conceptos fundamentais da organización de empresas co obxecto de desenrrolar as habilidades necesarias para afrontar con éxito a responsabilidade do desenrrolo estratéxico dunha empresa. Asímesmo, explicaranse o comportamento empresarial e a función directiva.
Contingency plan 1. Modificacións nos contidos: Non se realizarán cambios.
2. Metodoloxías: Non se realizarán cambios, trasladándose a docencia e as distintas probas a modo en liña vía Teams ou Moodle.
3. Mecanismos de atención personalizada ao alumnado: Titorías a través de Teams.
4. Modificacións na avaliación: Non se realizarán cambios, trasladándose as distintas probas a modo en liña vía Teams ou Moodle
*Observacións da avaliación: Na primeira oportunidade, a proba obxectiva poderá ser desenvolta como unha única proba global ou varias probas fraccionadas.
Na segunda oportunidade: o/a estudante que non superase a materia na primeira oportunidade (Xaneiro, no caso de estudantes do dobre grao en ADE e Dereito; Xuño no caso de estudantes do grao en ADE) debe realizar o exame na data establecida, gardaranse as cualificacións do resto das actividades, puntuando o mesmo un 50% .
En ambos os casos, se non é posible polas circunstancias sanitarias celebrar a/ s proba/ s de forma presencial trasladaranse a/ s proba/ s a modo en liña vía Teams ou Moodle.
Considérase que un/a alumno/a está dentro da avaliación continua e, por tanto, aplicaráselle o esquema de avaliación anterior, se realizou máis dun 20% dos traballos e casos prácticos encargados. Por tanto, este alumno se non alcanza o cinco, estará "suspenso" nas actas.
Para o cálculo da nota media final, será preciso obter unha nota mínima de 4 puntos sobre 10 puntos na proba obxectiva global, ou no seu caso na media das probas fraccionadas (non se calculará a nota media dos alumnos que obteñan unha nota menor que esta). Para superar a materia, a nota media ponderada final deberá ser igual ou superior a 5 puntos sobre 10.
Tanto aos/as alumnos/ as a tempo parcial como a tempo completo aplicaráselles o mesmo sistema de avaliación. Lémbrase que calquera alumno/para sorprendido/a realizando as probas de avaliación continua e/ou exame mediante calquera procedemento fraudulento asignaráselle unha nota de cero na devandita actividade (tanto na primeira oportunidade como en xullo).
5. Modificacións da bibliografía ou webgrafía: Non se realizarán cambios. Xa dispoñerán en Moodle de audios e/ou vídeos, así como arquivos co material que necesita o alumnado para cursar a materia.

Assessment comments

1.     Non-presented grade: it is assigned to a student when he/she participated in lower than 20%
of assessment activities, regardless of obtained grade.

 

2.     Second opportunity and advanced opportunity: in the second opportunity, students who failed in the first opportunity (January, in the case
of students of the double degree in Business and Law, June in the case of
students of the degree in Business) have to do the exam in the date
established. The grades of the rest of activitites will be saved and it is not
posible the development of them out of the quarter of class. The exam will mark
the 50% of the final note.

 In the advanced opportunity, the
evaluation system of the first opportunity will be maintained.

 

3.     Students with recognition of part-time and academic dispensation of attended
exemption: Both part-time and full-time students will have the same
evaluation system.




4.     About the conditions of final evaluation: It is  recalled that any student stunned when he/she
is doing continuous assessment activities and/or examen by means of any
fraudulent procedure, the grade of zero will be assigned in such activity (in
all opportunities).  

 



5.     Student´s identification: student has to prove his/her personality according to the current
regulation.

 



6.     Other
evaluation observations: 

 Lecturers will make available students the norms for the development of
the activities proposed in the present teaching guide. 

In the first opportunity, objective test can be developed as a single global objective test or various tests.

Students are in the continuous assessment and, therefore, in the
previous assessment framework, if they done more than 20% of the activities.
Therefore, if these students does not get 5 points (out of 10 points), they
will be failed in the acts. 

For the calculation of the final average grade, a minimum grade of 4
points out of 10 points in the global objective test, or when applicable in the average grade of
the  various tests , will be necessary (average grade will not be calculated for students
who have a grade lower than that). In order to pass the subject, final weighted
average grade has to be equal or greater than 5 points out of 10 points.
