| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning. Presentations of this type are variously referred to as ‘expository method’, ‘guest lectures’ or ‘keynote speeches’. (The term ‘keynote’ refers only to a type of speech delivered on special occasions, for which the lecture sets the tone or establishes the underlying theme; it is characterised by its distinctive content, structure and purpose, and relies almost exclusively on the spoken word to communicate its ideas). These lectures will be offered through videos for asynchronous use.

| Case study |
Teaching-learning method in which students are presented with a specific set of real-life circumstances and a problem (‘case’) which they must attempt to understand, assess and solve either as an individual or as a group. Students should be able to analyse a series of facts relating to a particular area of knowledge or activity, and arrive at a rational conclusion or numerical result, individually, or via a process of discussion within small work groups. These lectures will be offered through videos for asynchronous use.

| Objective test |
Students who complete all compulsory coursework (case studies) will only have an oral or written defence of their coursework, in the form of short or multiple choice questions.
Students who do not complete the compulsory coursework will have an exam covering the whole subject matter, which may include long questions, short questions, multiple choice questions, exercises, and case studies.
In both cases, students who wish to do so may take the objective test in Ferrol, face to face, taking advantage of the opportunity to meet teachers and fellow students in person.
In the case of virtual tests, an exam protocol will be used which will be communicated to the student sufficiently in advance. The student is responsible for obtaining the necessary means for this protocol. In any case, the student must have a computer with a webcam, a printer connected to the computer, and a mobile phone. |
