Problem solving A5 A6 A7 A11 A13 A14 B1 B2 B5 C1 C2 C3 C4 C6 C8 This task is intended for one single content of the subject (Topic 6). 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 subject, students develop purely practical tasks on this topic with the support and supervision of the teaching staff. All this will only take place when topic 6 is explained.
The teacher will present to the students the notes of this topic (through the Virtual Campus); in the expository classes she will explain with solutions of problems of those notes; in the interactive classes the teacher will present guided practices for the student to carry them out FOR ALL THIS THE STUDENT MUST BRING THE REVISED NOTES.

Students must carry out all the proposed practices and incorporate them into a single document, as a dossier, which will be handed in to the teacher by the established deadline, under the name "Research Methods".

Mixed objective/subjective test A5 A6 A11 A13 B1 B2 B5 B6 C1 C2 C3 C4 C6 C8 The exam of the 1st and 2nd exam sessions (XUNE and JULY) is what refers to the evaluation of this methodology and consists of two parts:

1-PART METHODS (theoretical. Contents of the subject corresponding to topics 1,2,3,4 and 5 (even)) 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 teachers). 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 (the mark for this part will not be kept, in any exam session, if it is failed).

2-PART ANALYSIS (practical. The content of the subject corresponding to topic 6)). 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 (no marks will be kept for this part in any exam session, if it is failed).

EXPLANATORY NOTES:
a) In both parts (Methods part and Analysis part) questions answered incorrectly will be subtracted.
b) The teachers, before the end of the school term, MAY carry out a mock test during the class timetable of the subject. Attendance at this mock test is not compulsory.
c) The exam (the theoretical and practical parts) must be passed in order to be taken into account for continuous assessment.
In order to pass, it is essential that both of the following requirements are met: a) 5 points or more are obtained in the mixed test (in each of the parts (theoretical and practical); and (b) at least half of the value of each of the parts (methods part and analysis part) is reached.
d) If any of the parts is failed (the minimum passing score is not reached) or if the continuous assessment (dosiseres) is not passed, the student must take the exam with everything (as a non-attending student).
NO PARTS OF ANY EXAM FROM ONE EXAM SESSION WILL BE KEPT FOR ANOTHER OR OTHER EXAM SESSIONS. Neither the DOSSIER QUALIFICATIONS, nor the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION.
e) The dates of the exams of the calls (June and July) are set by the Faculty Board so they do not move.

Case study A6 A7 A11 A14 B1 B2 B4 B5 B6 C1 C2 C3 C4 C6 C8 This task is intended for the contents of the subject (Topic 2, 3, 4 and 5). The aim is for students to combine other methodologies such as, for example, 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 be carried out when these topics are explained.
The teachers will present the students with the notes on this subject (through the Virtual Campus); in the expository classes they will explain with cases from these notes; in the interactive classes the teachers will present guided practices (guided worksheets) so that the students can carry them out.

Students must carry out all the proposed practices and incorporate them into a single document, as a dossier, which will be handed in to the teacher by the established deadline, under the name "Research Methods".

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 THAT ALWAYS ATTEND THE CLASS (or students with academic
dispensation (approved by the corresponding University service) (face-to-face
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 receipt from a registered doctor) and absences due to work (with a
correctly covered receipt in the work where it is justified that the student is
working during class hours) or any other absence, always with the approved
documentation. It will not be possible to have more than two absences in each
of the parts of the subject (1st Part (subjects 1,2,3,4 and 5) and 2nd Part
(subject 6).

The evaluation of these students takes into account the following: 1-The
mixed te
st; 2-Case studies (dossier 1 and interactive classes) and 3-Problem
solving (dossier 2 and interactive classes)
. The evaluations of part 2 and 3
will take place in the evening after the delivery of the dossier.

The final mark of the subject of these students will be: the mark of the
mixed test if they pass it and the mark of the continuous assessment (an
average is made), this will always be the case if they pass the mixed test. If
the mixed test is not passed, the continuous assessment is not used to pass the
subject (this means that even if you pass the continuous assessment you have
not passed the subject and you have not passed 50% of the subject). The teacher
can use the continuous assessment to enable the student to pass the combined
test (e.g. if in one part of the combined test a minimum is reached and in
another part the minimum is not reached, then the teacher counts the assessment
for the student to have a pass mark (5)).

The mixed test for these students, as well as the classes are PRESENT. VERY
IMPORTANT STUDENTS MUST EJECT THIS MODALITY NOT VIRTUAL CAMPUS,
for this the
teacher will send emails, through the virtual campus, for students to do this
task and other tasks). IF THIS TASK AND OTHER TASKS ARE NOT DONE WITHOUT THE PERIOD
ESTABLISHED BY THE NON-VIRTUAL CAMPUS TEACHER, STUDENTS AUTOMATICALLY BECOME
NON PRESENT OR NON ATTENDING
(see the following section b).

b) STUDENTS WHO DO NOT ATTEND CLASSES (non-attending students) are
considered to be non-attending when they miss more than 80% of their classes,
i.e. they have more than three unexcused absences, or they have more than two
absences in one of the parts of the subject. Medical absences are excused (with
a correctly filled in proof from a registered doctor) and absences due to work
(with a correctly filled in proof from the work where it is justified that the
student is working during class hours). It can also be those students who
choose this option from the beginning of the course (on the first day of class
the teachers will present this option that the students can choose). Or who do
not do any of the tasks planned by the teacher at the beginning of the course
and who communicate this to the students through the virtual campus.

These students will sit the exams of the 1st and/or 2nd call (June and
July). It is recommended that students complete the two dossiers of the subject
independently, as these will be assessed in the final exam of the subject
(40%), together with the theoretical contents of the mixed exam (60%). These
students must pass both parts (theoretical and practical, with the questions of
the dossiers) of the mixed test to pass the subject (they will pass both parts
with a 5 in each of them).
