Description |
The accounting problems proposed to be solved in the classroom are designed to help students in understanding the accounting concepts and in becoming familiar with the accounting technique. With this aim, students will be guided by the teacher, so that they can solve, on their own, the proposed cases.
Group tutorials (4 hours distributed along the term) will be used to discuss those complex cases that requiere a higher degree of personal attention. For these tutorials, the group will be split into two small groups (15 students, aprox.). If possible, group tutorials will be held either in the previous or the posterior time slot in which students have their classes.
Part-time students with academic permission not to attend the classes will have to contact the teacher by the tenth day of the term, in order to receive an individual tutorial schedule.

Assessment comments |
The assessment criteria are the same for each of the evaluation opportunities. This means that:
1) on both occasions the qualifications obtained in the multiple-choice tests will be taken into account, which together represent 50% of the final grade;
2) the final exam corresponding to the objective test, in both evaluation opportunities, will be qualified on 5 points (50% of the final grade)
In the advanced call, and only in this case, a mixed test will be carried out aimed at evaluating all the competences and contents of the subject.
The scoring criteria of each of the tests will be announced at the time of the test and will be supplied together with the questionnaires.
Unrealized tests score as zero. Those made in fraud suppose the qualification of zero marks in the final evaluation.
The qualification of "not assessed" corresponds to the student who did not participate in any evaluation test.
The only stuff with which it is allowed to enter the test classroom is the basic one to answer the exam: pencil, ball pen or pen, eraser and electronic calculator (not programmable).
It is expressly prohibited to access the classroom of the exam with: a) mobile phones and any other capable of remote communication and / or storage of information devices; b) written notes, pads, books or similar material that was not expressly authorized in the announcement of the exam or on the web site (Moodle) of the subject. Failure to comply with this rule means that fraud is considered to have been carried out, regardless of whether the unauthorised material was used or not during the test for those who wore it.
The student must accredit his / her identity in accordance with current regulations.
Students with authorisation for a part-time dedication and academic exemption for class attendance: except for the dates approved by the Faculty Board for the final objective test, as for the remaining assessment, it will be agreed with these students, at the beginning of the semester, a specific calendar of dates compatible with their dedication. The students shall meet the teacher by the first ten days of the semester the subject is taught, in order to set that calendar. The tests will have the same format as for full-time students.
