Oral presentation complemented by the introduction of some questions for the students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning.
The master session is also known as "lecture", "expository method" or "master class". This last modality is usually reserved for a special type of lesson given by a teacher on special occasions, with content that involves original elaboration and based on the almost exclusive use of the word as a way of transmitting information to the audience.
|
| Case study |
Methodology in which the subject faces the description of a specific situation that poses a problem that must be understood, valued and solved by a group of people through a discussion process. In short, the student is faced to specific problem (case), which describes a real situation in professional life and must be able to analyze the facts (which are framed within the scope of the subject matter), to reach a reasoned decision through a process of discussion in small working groups |
| ICT practicals |
Practices through TIC Realization of supervised works in matters related to the content of the subject. such as the comment on a film during the hours assigned to the subject. In these activities students can consult the teacher at any time and use ICT |
| Simulation |

Methodologies
|
| ICT practicals |
|
| Description |
Personalized attention related to the methodology and practices through ICT will be carried out in accordance with what is described in the Methodologies section.
Generic personalized attention consists of the traditional tutoring through which the teacher makes himself available to the students at a specific time in order for him / her to consult or solve any problem individually.
Likewise, the student can virtually contact the teacher at any time and ask questions or arrange meetings and tutorials, even when dealing with specific issues, they can be solved online but the possibility of conventional treatment will always be open and face-to-face.
Tutorials will be held in the professor’s office, on the 3rd floor, “Dereito civil”, Mondays from 12.00 to 13.00 and Thursdays from 12.00 to 13.00.
To contact your professor, please email to antonio.legeren@udc.es
Be sure to use your udc email to communicate with your professor!
Regarding the students with the of part-time dedication recognition, a first meeting will be held to specify the schedule of the activities of the course and the specialties of this modality will be established: the deadline for delivery of the work, the format, etc. |

The work carried out by the student at the end of the face-to-face sessions will be delivered or exhibited, depending on the cases, in the classroom itself and, in any case, will be evaluated by the teacher, taking into account basically the demonstrated argumentative capacity and originality (detection of a plagiarized work, in whole or in part, with or without permission of the owner of the original work will automatically mean the failure of the subject). |

Assessment comments |
It's essential to attend and intervene at classes in order to know the whole content of the subject and the main points, specially because about this issues there's no specific treaty or handbook. It will be necessary to prepare a presentation or dissertation about some aspects of the program and to solve some cases. These activities -attending classes, preparing a dissertation and the cases- will be the 30% of the final mark. The presentation is a test in which the three pointed methodologies are collected in a unitary way: case study, ICT practicals and simulation. A final exam-mulitple choice will be done. It will be the 70% of the final mark. It's necessary to obtain a 3.5 mark in the final exam to add the mark obtained from activities. The assessment system for the second chance is the same as for the first chance. In case of plagiarism, the academic regulations of the UDC will be applied. |
