This course has no teaching assigned for this academic year.
Students must prepare the course independently. This independent work will be guided by the teacher during the hours assigned to tutorials, which will serve to resolve any doubts or problems that arise for students during the teaching-learning process.
Tutorials will preferably be given in person, although in certain cases they may also be given virtually and synchronously (via the institutional MS Teams platform) or asynchronously (via the virtual campus). In any case, they will be held at the usual times officially published by the teaching staff.
There are two opportunities to pass the course. Students who do not pass the course on the first attempt will be entitled to a second opportunity, which will appear on their academic record if the grade obtained is higher.
Both opportunities will be assessed by means of a final exam covering the course content, which will account for 100% of the grade. This is a compulsory test that will assess learning outcomes and may include short-answer questions, multiple-choice questions, short reasoning questions or case studies (real or fictional) that students must solve based on the theoretical content of the course. This test will assess all the skills covered in the course. This test will be taken in person on the official dates scheduled by the center.
The course is worth 6 ECTS credits, equivalent to 150 hours.
Consult the recommended bibliography and consult with the teaching staff to clarify any doubts, using the tutorials and all available means of contact.
