Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Objective test Exam to assess both the theory and the practice of the course
Seminar The teacher presents a topic to the students with the objective of providing a set of information with a specific scope. This teaching methodology will be applied to the training activity "Theory classes"
Problem solving Students are given practical projects whose scope requires that a significant part of the student's total dedication to the subject be devoted to them. In addition, due to the scope of the work to be done, students are required to apply not only managerial skills but also technical skills
Laboratory practice The teacher presents the students with a problem or problems of a practical nature, the resolution of which requires the understanding and application of the theoretical-practical contents presented. Students can work on the solution to the problems individually or in groups

Problem solving
Description
Seminar/expository method/master class: the teacher presents a topic to the students with the objective of providing a set of information with a specific scope. This teaching methodology will be applied to the training activity "Theory classes".
Laboratory practices: the teacher presents the students with a problem or problems of a practical nature, the resolution of which requires the understanding and application of the theoretical-practical contents presented. Students can work on the solution to the problems individually or in groups.
Problem solving/Project-based learning: students are given practical projects whose scope requires that a significant part of the student's total dedication to the subject be devoted to them. In addition, due to the scope of the work to be done, students are required to apply not only managerial skills but also technical skills.

Assessment comments
In order to pass the subject, students must pass both the theory and the practice of the course separately. The practices are not recovered in July; except in those cases in which the student reaches 40% of the maximum grade of practices, allowing then to perform all the practices with respect to a new case study specifically raised for a possible recovery. In this case, the new practical case will be uploaded to the virtual platform two weeks before the theoretical exam of the course. In the evaluation of the work delivered by the students, the degree of achievement of the competences will be assessed, in particular the implementation of the contents provided by the course to these competences. In addition, the transversal competences will be assessed insofar as they are required for the development of these works.

The questions of the theoretical exam will focus on the specific contents, which have been developed in the subject, in relation to their competences and which may have been acquired both in the expository and interactive part. The average duration of the exam is approximately 2 hours and may consist of multiple-choice questions, short questions and case study problems. The exam will evaluate the degree of assimilation of the teaching objectives established in the syllabus of the subject.

There will be no partial exam.

Once both parts have been approved separately, each part will account for 50% of the final grade.

In order to receive a NO SHOW evaluation, one of the following circumstances must be present:
1. Not to have attended at least 85% of the practices of the subject.
2. Not having taken the theoretical exam of the subject in spite of having passed the practicals of the subject.
3. Not having taken the theoretical exam of the subject and having communicated explicitly and in writing to the person in charge of the subject that the subject is abandoned when, even having taken at least 80% of the practices of the subject, the practices of the subject have not been passed.

Weight of the continuous evaluation in the extraordinary opportunity of recovery (July tests):
1. The grade obtained in the practices during the course is maintained and also its weight in the final grade.

For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and grade review will apply.

Other comments

Professors will facilitate, to the best possible option and within the hours established for the subject, attendance at the theory and practice groups that best suit the needs of students who are enrolled part-time, to which also applies the form of evaluation established here. Students with an academic waiver of attendance exemption must attend all assessment tests.
