Methodologies Competencies / Results Description Qualification
Problem solving A19 B2 C1 This task is intended for one single content of the subject (Topic 3). It is intended to allow students to combine other methodologies, such as problem solving, guided practice (guided worksheets), etc. However, bearing in mind that with the eres the student develops purely practical tasks on this subject with the support and supervision of the teaching staff. All this will only be carried out when topic 3 is explained.
The teachers will present the notes of this topic (through the Virtual Campus); in the expository classes they will explain these notes with problem solutions; in the interactive classes they will present guided practices for the student to carry out.
FOR ALL THIS, THE STUDENT MUST BRING THE REVISED APPOINTS.
Students must carry out all the proposed practices and incorporate them into a single document, in the form of a dossier, which they will hand in to the teachers by the established deadline, under the name of "Information analysis techniques".
Before the end of the teaching period, the teachers will carry out a mock @dito test, during the class timetable of the subject. The mock test questions will be available to students enrolled in this subject on the Virtual Campus. Attendance to this mock exam is not compulsory. 		20
ICT practicals A6 C3
This methodology will only be used to assess students' progress in understanding the theoretical content of the subject (lectures).
Short knowledge tests will be carried out (of the knowledge developed during the corresponding expository and interactive sessions). The last 30 minutes of the interactive classes will be used for face-to-face classes.
Students will have the questions related to each test from the first day of class and will have, one week in advance, the materials with which to answer them. Thus, it is the student's responsibility to manage their own work time and work in the classroom in order to solve and deliver the tests each week.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT EVERY STUDENT BRINGS TO THE INTERACTIVE CLASSES THEIR COMPUTER AND ALL THE MATERIALS THEY NEED TO CARRY OUT THESE PRACTICES.

Mixed objective/subjective test A5 A6 A13 A19 A21 B1 B2 B5 B6 C1 C3 C4 C6 C8 The exam of the 1st and 2nd exam sessions is what refers to the evaluation of this methodology and consists of two parts:

1-TECHNICAL part will consist of a number of open response items, or short answer or true and false but justifying (the type of questions will be determined by the teacher). A question with an incorrect answer subtracts a question with a correct answer. This part is passed when a score of 5 out of 10 points is reached, which is the maximum score that can be reached here (no marks are retained for any part, in any exam session, if you fail).

2-PART ANALYSIS. This part consists of several statistical problems or short answer questions or true/false questions (the teacher will decide the type of questions). This part is passed when a score of 5 out of 10 points is reached, which is the maximum score that can be reached here.


EXPLANATORY NOTES:

The exam must be passed in order to be taken into account for continuous assessment. In order to pass the exam, both of the following requirements must be met: (a) 5 points or more must be achieved in the mixed test; and (b) at least half of the value of each of the parts (technical and analysis parts) must be reached.
If any of the parts is failed (the minimum passing score is not reached) or if the continuous assessment (test plus doses) is not passed, the student must take the next exam with everything. NO PARTS OF ANY EXAM FROM ONE EXAM SESSION WILL BE KEPT FOR ANOTHER OR OTHER EXAM SESSIONS.
The dates of the exams are set by the faculty board, so they do not move.

Case study A6 A13 A21 C1 This task is aimed at the contents of the subject (Topic 1 and 2). It is intended to enable students to combine other methodologies such as problem solving, guided practice (guided worksheets), etc. But bearing in mind that with it the students develop purely practical tasks on this subject with the support and supervision of the teachers. All this will only take place when topic 1 and 2 are explained.
The teachers will present the students with the notes of this subject (through the Virtual Campus); in the expository classes they will explain with cases @dito notes; in the interactive classes the teachers will present guided practices (guided worksheets) for the students to carry out.

Students must carry out all the proposed practices and include them in a single document, in the form of a dossier, which they will hand in to the teacher by the established deadline, under the name "Techniques for collecting information".
Before the end of the teaching period, teachers will carry out a mock @dito test, during the class timetable for the subject. The mock test questions will be available to students enrolled in this subject on the Virtual Campus. Attendance to this mock exam is not compulsory.

Assessment comments

In the evaluation of the subject (set out in the section of the teaching guide, called "Step 7: Evaluation") the following will be taken into account first of all: 

a) STUDENTS WHO ATTEND CLASSES (or students with academic dispensation) (students who attend classes in person) are considered to attend 80%, this is equivalent to not having more than 3 unexcused absences. Medical absences are excused (with a correctly covered receipt from a registered doctor) and absences due to work (with a correctly covered receipt from the work where it is justified that the student is working during class hours) or any other absence, always with the approved documentation. The online tests scheduled for the end of each interactive session must be taken in the classroom; in no case (with the exception of students with academic dispensation) can they be taken outside the classroom. Attendance at the interactive classes will be counted on the basis of the answers to the online tests, and additional virtual means may be used to ask students to register their attendance. No more than two absences in each of the parts of the subject (collection techniques and analysis techniques) will be allowed. The qualifications of the knowledge tests carried out in the interactive classes will not be real until the dossiers are handed in. 

The evaluation of these students takes into account the following: 1-The mixed test; 2-The practices through ICT; 3-The case study and 4-Problem solving. The evaluations from the 2nd to the 4th, both inclusive, will take place at the end of the course, effective the delivery of the dossier. 

All ATTENDING OR PRESENT students must pass the continuous assessment (test and dossiers) in order to be able to take the mixed test under the conditions explained for this group of students. The continuous assessment is equivalent to 60% of the final grade of the subject (being necessary to reach the minimum of 30% to consider that this part was passed). Likewise, it is essential to achieve a minimum of 20% out of 40% in the mixed test to consider this assessment passed (taking into account the need to reach a minimum in each part, techniques and analysis, as specified in the corresponding section in the teaching guide). 

Explanatory note: 

These students will continue to be face-to-face (in the same circumstances or will lose this category) if, due to the health crisis, the classes are virtual. Since the lectures are always virtual, the interactive classes will follow the same rules, but through TEAMS. For this, the teachers will set up the interactive groups in TEAMS and will have classes in the same timetable that was approved by the faculty board. The evaluation, in these circumstances (health crisis), will always be by Virtual Campus A mixed test for these students, as well as the interactive classes, whether face-to-face or virtual, will always be by Virtual Campus.

b) STUDENTS WHO DO NOT ALWAYS ATTEND CLASSES (non-attendance students) are considered to be absent when they miss more than 80%, i.e. they have more than three unexcused absences, or more than two absences in one of the parts of the subject (techniques for collecting and/or analysing information). Medical absences are excused (with a correctly completed excuse from a registered doctor) and absences due to work (with a correctly completed excuse from the work where it is justified that the student is working during class hours), although in no case will these excuses imply the possibility of taking the online tests after the deadline. Students may also choose to do so from the beginning of the course (on the first day of the course, the teacher will present this option to the students). These students will sit the 1st and 2nd exams. It is recommended that the students carry out the two assignments of the subject ("Techniques for collecting information" and "Analysis of information") independently, as these will be assessed in the final exam of the subject (60%), together with the theoretical contents of the mixed exam (40%): (a) 5 points or more are reached in the mixed test; and ( b) that at least half of the value of each of the parts (technical part and analysis part) is reached
