The directed discussion derived from the proposed cases and problems aims to strengthen the understanding of the concepts and techniques studied. In consequence, active participation is highly recommended both during the sessions and conferences/seminars.

Evaluation in the July option

The evaluation criteria used in the first option applies also in the July option. If a student intend to participate in a new process of continuous evaluation (50%: Seminar, Problem solving, Supervised projects and ICT practicals):

a) It is compulsory to send an e-mail to the lecturer before the beginning of the July evaluation period. The student will have to renounce her/his previous continuous assessment and notify it in writing to get authorisation.

b) Continuous assessment (Seminar, Problem solving, Supervised projects and ICT practicals) will be assessed by means of a single oral exam. This activity will take place before the final exam. The aforementioned oral exam may deal with the theoretical concepts discussed during the course and every practical issue (including ICT use). The student must be able to explain her/his answers.

Early opportunity

On the date set by the faculty for the early opportunity to take place:

a) Continuous assessment (50%: Seminar, Problem solving, Supervised projects and ICT practicals) will be assessed by means of a single oral exam. The aforementioned oral exam may deal with the theoretical concepts discussed during the course and every practical issue (including ICT use). The student must be able to explain her/his answers.

b) Objective test (50%). To get through the subject it is compulsory to pass both the finance and accounting parts, obtaining a minimum mark of 4 out of 10 in each of the previously mentioned parts.

Absent qualification

This qualification will be assigned to those students who:

a) Did not attend the final exam, or

b) Had participated in continuous assessment activities with a weighting lower than 20% of the final qualification, independently of the mark obtained in these activities.

Part-time students with academic dispensation 

In compliance with norms, they are required to contact with the lecturers before 30th September. Continuous assessment (50%: Seminar, Problem solving, Supervised projects and ICT practicals) will be assessed by means of a single oral exam. This activity will take place before the final exam (those students who wish to attend midterms assessment have the opportunity to request in writing, before 30th November, to attend two oral exams equally weighted -50%-: one before the first midterm exam and the second one before the final exam). The aforementioned oral exam may deal with the theoretical concepts discussed during the course and every practical issue (including ICT use). The student must be able to explain her/his answers. At the beginning of the course a specific tutorials calendar will be scheduled.

For the exams

It is forbidden to access the classroom where the exam is held with any machine that allows communication with the outside and/or the saving of information, without the lecturer’s consent.

Dishonest behaviour 

Lecturer may request partial or total oral explanation after the delivery and evaluation of the activities.

Fraudulent development of exams or assessment activities will directly imply a zero mark '0' in the corresponding opportunity, invalidating all the previously obtained marks for future opportunities.
