| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | 1. Classroom lectures about the theoretical and practical contents of the subject to guide the student in its preparation. 2. The time spent in each one of the subject chapters will be proportional to the difficulty level and to the length of those chapters. Thus, some chapters will take more time than others. The teacher is responsible of deciding how many time spend in each one of the subject chapters. 3. For preparing those chapters with thw lowest level of difficulty, the student should study the bibliography, although in the lectures the student will be orientated about: a) which are the bibliographic sources to study b) which are the most relevant and interesting issues to reach the learning goals set for the subject. 4. Discussion, together with all the workgroups, of the homework of each one of the workgroups. The student can participate: a) by his or her own, after being given the floor; b) after being required by the teacher to participate. |
| Problem solving | 1. Development, exposition and resolution of practical exercises to be made by the student, being part of a workgroup, throghout the course. 2. Exercises and readings to be made by the student by his or herself. In subsequent classes: a) a review of the exercises will be made. In this review, the student can participate as stated in the point 3. b) a question time about the readings will be opened. 3. The student can participate: a) on his or her own, after being given the floor; b) after being required by the teacher to participate. |
| Seminar | Small group discussion of the subject contents. Specifically, the discussion of the exercises and readings described in the previous "Problem solving" statement. The student can participate: a) on his or her own, after being given the floor; b) after being required by the teacher to participate. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | 1. It consists in a theoretical-practical examination test about the subject contents, with short answer questions, long answer questions, practical cases questions, true-false questions, multiple answer questions or any combinations of these types. 2. The examination test can be both oral or written. If, 48 hours in advance, nothing is stated in the subject webpage (Moodle), the examination test will be written. 3. The examination test will take place in the dates, times and classrooms officially set by the Deanery. |

| Methodologies | Competencies | Description | Qualification |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A8 A9 A10 A11 C1 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 | 1. It is a unique examination test for each one of the qualification opportunities. 2. This examination will follow those criteria stated in the Methodologies section. |

| Problem solving | A8 A9 A10 A11 B1 B7 B8 B9 B10 | 1. Development of one or more practical use cases, set out by the teacher. In these use cases the students must develop some of the issues related to the contents of the subject. For example: designing a specific Information System or some of its parts, studying of a preexisting Information System and its implications in the business organization, particularly the organizative and legal implications. 2. The workgroups will consist of 4-6 students. Exceptionally the teacher can authorise a workgroup with less than 4 or more than 6 members. 3. It is essential for the assesment the discussion with the subject teacher or with the workgroup tutor of the practical cases assigned to the workgroup. This is why attending the follow-up meetings is also essential. Never a student could be qualified out of this context, without prejudice of the stated in points 4 and 5. These follow-up meetings will take place both in the guest lectures or keynote speechs, and in the seminars or even inside the problem solving methodology. Thus these three mothodologies will compute inside this 50% of the final qualification. 4. For the assesment of this problem solving methodology, the teacher will take into account: a) the work done in the workgroup; b) the discussion referenced in the point 3; c) the class attendance and the effective and active participation in the class; d) the examination tests, when applicable, referenced in point 5. 5. The continuous assesment tests are inside this methodology. These tests will be made, at the discretion of the teacher, to check and assess the progress of the student. These test can be both oral or written, with short answer questions, long answer questions, practical exercises, true-false questions, multiple answer questions or any combination of these types. 6. The works will be presented, discussed and assessed according to the schedule published in the subject webpage (Moodle). 7. Any doubt related with this section shoul be solved according to the continuous assessment criterion. |

The assessment criteria are the same for each one of the assessment opportunities. This means that: 1) the qualification obtained in the "Problem solving" will be taken into account in both assessment opportunities; 2) the examination test related to the mixed objective/subjective test will be qualified on a 5 points basis (the 50% of the final qualification) in both assessment opportunities. In the advanced summons, and only in this case, a mixed objective/subjective test will be made to assess every competence and content of the subject. The qualification criteria of each one of the examination tests will be known at the time of the test and will be given with the test formulation. Those tests that have been not made by the student will be qualified with a zero. The "Not presented" qualification will be given to a student that has participated in less than a 20% of the tests scoring for the final qualification. If a student commits a fraud in any of the tests, he or she will be qualified with a zero in the final qualification. The only hardware allowed to access to the test classroom is that required to answer the examination test: pencil, ballpen or pen, rubber and a non-programmable electronic calculator. It is expressly forbidden the access to the test classroom with: a) mobile phones and any other communication or information storage device; b) notes, books or every sort of material not expressly allowed in the examination test call or in the subject webpage (Moodle). Not accomplishing this rule will cause the test to be considered fraudulent, regardless of the effective use of these devices or materials during the length of the examination test. The student should identify him or herself according to the current rules. For any other question not being dealed with along this guide, the official current rules will be applied. |
