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 ALWAYS ATTEND CLASSES (or students with academic dispensation) (on-site students) are considered to attend 80%, this is equivalent to not having more than 3 unexcused absences. Medical absences are excused (with a correctly covered excuse from a registered doctor) and absences due to work (with a correctly covered excuse from work where it is justified that the student is working during class hours) or any other absence, always with the approved documentation.  The evaluation of these students only takes into account the portfolio. 

 b) STUDENTS WHO DO NOT ALWAYS ATTEND CLASSES (non-attendance students) OR ONLINE STUDENTS are considered to be absent when they miss more than 80% of the course, i.e. they have more than three unexcused absences, or they have 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 covered excuse from a registered doctor) and absences due to work (with a correctly covered excuse in 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 carrying out the activities of the classes after the deadline. It can also be those students who choose to do so from the beginning of the course, as they opt for the online form when registering. These students will present a specific portfolio that will be explained in each module of the subject. At the beginning of the course, these students must contact individually with the lecturers responsible for each module.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE In the classes, the principle of democratic debate will be maintained, listening to and respecting all the different opinions on the subjects dealt with, both from the teaching staff and the students.
