Metodología

The course has been designed on three levels in order to promote understanding and the implementation of the basic concepts.

The syllabus has therefore been designed to include:

1.A theoretical level: Theoretical concepts are formally presented and then applied by means of examples. In order to do so, students will be provided with materials that are used in class to develop each subject.

2.A self learning level: Students will be given reading assignments on both theoretical and research contents, which will provide them with in depth knowledge of the topics that are covered in class.

3.A relational or group level: The course makes use of the case study methodology whereby students working in groups can analyse, propose and put forward solutions to the cases they have been assigned

Criterios de evaluación

The assessment breakdown which is used to calculate the final grade is as follows:

Class participation: 5%, Assignments: 45%, Final Exam: 50%

The minimum attendance to have the right to take the exam in ordinary evaluation is 80%, and to have the right to take the exam in the extraordinary evaluation is 50%, not counting justified absences in accordance with Internal Regulations.

The two types of evaluation are as follows:

1. Ordinary evaluation.

A minimum score of 5 is required both in the final exam and in the average (applying the weights mentioned above) in order to pass the course. The grading criteria can be summarized as follows: if both the final exam grade and the overall average grade are above 5 then the final grade is the average grade. Otherwise, the final grade is the minimum of the final exam grade and the overall average grade.

2. Retake.

If a retake exam is needed (only in cases where the student failed the ordinary evaluation), the final course grade will be determined by:

- In case the student received an APZ (it means that the previous exam was postponed but justified by medical or family-related reason and approved by Program Management), the original breakdown will be maintained.
- In case the student received an NP (it counts 0; not justified absence in the previous exam) or FAIL, the retake will count 100% as the final grade of the course.
