Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
ICT practicals A5 A6 A7 B1 C3 C6 C8 This methodology will be used only to evaluate the progress of the students in the understanding of the theoretical contents of the subject (expository classes).
Brief tests of knowledge (of that developed during the corresponding expository and interactive session) will be carried out. The last 30 minutes of the interactive classes will be used (the student must connect by moodle to make these evaluations). IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT EACH STUDENT BRINGS IN THE INTERACTIVE CLASSES HIS COMPUTER AND ALL THE MATERIALS THAT THE STUDENT NEEDS TO CARRY OUT THESE PRACTICES

Problem solving A5 A6 A7 A11 A13 A14 B1 B2 B5 C1 C2 C3 C4 C6 C8 This task is aimed at a single subject content (Theme 6). It is intended that students combine other methodologies such as problem solving, guided practice (guided cards), etc. But bearing in mind that with it the student develops purely practical tasks on this subject with the support and supervision of the teaching staff. All this will only take place when topic 6 is explained. The teacher will present the students with the notes of this topic (through moodle); in the expository classes she will explain with problem solutions these notes; in the interactive classes the teacher will present guided practices so that the student can carry them out FOR ALL THIS THE STUDENT MUST BRING THE REVIEWED NOTES. Students must carry out all the proposed practices and incorporate them into a single document, as a dossier, which will be given to the teacher within the established period, under the name of "Research Methods" (which will be the Obradoiro methodology). Before the end of the academic period, the teacher will carry out a simulation of this test, in the class schedule of the subject. The simulation questions will be available to students enrolled in this subject in moodle. Attendance at this simulation is not compulsory

Mixed objective/subjective test A5 A6 A11 A13 B1 B2 B5 B6 C1 C2 C3 C4 C6 C8 The examination of the June or July calls is what refers to the evaluation of this methodology and consists of two parts:

1-Theoretical part will consist of a number of open answer items, or short answer or true and false but justifying (the type of questions will be determined by the teaching staff). A question with an incorrect answer subtracts a question with a correct answer. This part is approved when a score of 10 out of 20 points is reached which is the maximum score achieved here (no score is kept from any part, in any call, if it is suspended).
2-Part ANALYSIS. This part consists of various statistical problems or short answer questions or true and false questions (the teacher will decide the type of questions). This part is approved when a score of 10 out of 20 points is reached which is the maximum score reached here.

EXPLANATORY NOTE:

If any of the parts is suspended (the minimum score to pass is not reached) the student must go to the next convocation with everything. NO PARTS OF ANY EXAM ARE KEPT FROM ONE CONVOCATION TO ANOTHER OR OTHER CONVOCATIONS. The DATES OF THE EXAMS OF THE CALLS ARE MARKED BY FACULTY MEETINGS, THEREFORE THEY ARE NOT MOVED.

The BAREMO that is followed in each of the parties, to be taken into account:

(a) 10 points to 13 points EQUALS ONE APPROVAL (5-6). Specifically, 10 and 11 points equals a five; 12-13 points equals a six.
(b) 14 points to 17 points is equivalent to one grade (7-8). Specifically, 14 and 15 points equals a seven; 16-17 points equals an eight.
(c) 18 points to 20 points equals one over-achiever (9-10). Specifically, 18 and 19 points equals a nine; 20 points equals a 10

Case study A6 A7 A11 A14 B1 B2 B4 B5 B6 C1 C2 C3 C4 C6 C8 This task is aimed at the contents of the subject (theme 2, theme 3, theme 4 and theme 5). It is intended that the students combine other methodologies such as problem solving, guided practice (guided sheets), etc. But bearing in mind that with it the student develops purely practical tasks on this subject with the support and supervision of the teaching staff. All this will only be done when the topics are explained. The teachers will present the students with the notes on this topic (through moodle); in the expository classes they will explain with cases these notes; in the interactive classes the teachers will present guided practices (guided cards) so that the students can do them FOR ALL THIS THE STUDENTS MUST BRING THE REVIEWED NOTES.

Students must carry out all the proposed practices and incorporate them into a single document, as a dossier, which will be given to the teacher within the established period, under the name of "Research Methods" (called Obradoiro methodology).

Before the end of the academic period, the teacher will carry out a simulation of this test, in the class schedule of the subject. The simulation questions will be available to students enrolled in this subject in moodle. Attendance at the simulation is not compulsory

Assessment comments

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

a) STUDENTS WHO ALWAYS ATTEND THE CLASS (or students with an academic dispensation) (face-to-face students) are considered to attend 80%, this is equivalent to having no more than 3 unjustified absences. Medical absences are justified (with proof correctly covered by a registered doctor) and absences for work (with proof correctly covered in the work where it is justified that in class hours is being worked) or any other absence always with the approved documentation. The online tests planned for the end of each interactive session must be taken in the classroom; under no circumstances (with the exception of students with academic dispensation) may they be taken outside the classroom. Attendance at the interactive classes will be counted from the answers to the online tests. It is not possible to have more than two absences in each part of the subject (collection techniques and analysis techniques). The scores of the knowledge tests that are taken in the real interactive classes not late-night until the dossier is delivered (Obradoiro methodology)

 The evaluation of these students takes into account the following: 1-The mixed test; 2-The practice through ICT; 3-Case study and 4-Problem solving. Evaluations from 2 to 4, both including the afternoon-evening effective delivery of the dossier (methodology Obradoiro) 

Explanatory note:

These students will continue to be face-to-face (in the same circumstances or lose that category) if, due to the health crisis, the classes are virtual. Since the presentations are always virtual, the interactive classes will follow the same rules but through teams. For this link, the teaching staff will set up the interactive groups in teams and will have classes at the same time that was approved by the faculty board. The evaluation, in these circumstances (health crisis), will always be by moodle. The mixed test for these students, as well as the interactive classes whether they are face-to-face or virtual, will always be by moodle.

b) STUDENTS WHO DO NOT ATTEND THE CLASS (non-presential students) are considered to be absent when they miss more than 80%, that is to say, they have more than three unjustified 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 justified (with proof correctly covered by a registered doctor) and absences for work (with proof correctly covered in the work where it is justified that in class hours work is being done), although in no case will these proofs mean the possibility of taking the tests online after the deadline. Students who choose this option from the beginning of the course may also do so (on the first day of class the teachers will present this option which the student may choose). These students will take the tests in June or July. It is recommended that the students do both tasks of the subject independently, since they are evaluated in the final test of the subject (60%), along with the theoretical content of the mixed test (40%). In this sense these students will only take the mixed test through moodle
