The exhibition sessions (lectures) are intended to introduce students to the management of the information system and its impact on customer satisfaction and organizational results. The didactic approach aims to train students by promoting the understanding of the information processes that underpin business decisions and the modelling of various problems in order to promote the quality of decisions.
To develop the theoretical part the following guidelines are established:
• The presentation of the theme and presentation of work materials be supplemented with exercises and cases that encourage participation and discussion. Explanations adjusted to the starting level of the students will be provided. The subject is considered as an introduction to the contents established.
• Connection between the transmitted content and reality. Both examples and cases, whenever possible, will focus on real events.
• The theoretical contents of the subject will be developed in lectures of 2 hours, 1 day a week. The practical part will develop in interactive classes in small group of 1.5 hours, 1 day per week.
The expository and interactive sessions will take place face-to-face at the official time published by the centre.
For asynchronous activities and for the delivery of tasks, a mailbox will be enabled in the virtual classroom with the delivery deadline.
Attendance at the sessions is mandatory, so the teachers of each group will monitor the attendance of the students and their participation in the sessions.
Participation in the exhibition and interactive sessions will be complemented by the students' personal work, which includes, among others, activities to search for information and bibliographic material, read such material and prepare and defend individual or collaborative works.
This autonomous work will be guided by the teachers in the hours assigned to tutoring, which will serve to solve doubts and solve problems that the students face in the teaching-learning process. The tutorials will also serve as a feedback channel on the results obtained.
The tutorials will take place in a face-to-face or virtual manner (using the Microsoft Teams corporate tool) at the usual time officially published by the teachers.
The development of the subject will be carried out with the support of the virtual teaching classroom created for this purpose on the Moodle platform.
The evaluation of the subject will be carried out following a continuous evaluation process in which all the activities carried out throughout the semester will be taken into account (semester work, evaluation tests of theoretical or practical contents, case studies, debates, etc.), considering aspects such as clarity and expository capacity, mastery of the subject's own terminology or active participation (100% of the final grade).
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and reviewing qualifications will apply.
Following the Instruction Nº 1/2017 fo Secretaría Xeral, students who are exempt from attendance in certain situations will be evaluated with a final exam (100%). Exemption from attendance must be authorized in advance by the university. This exam will be face-to-face or remotely (virtual) depending on the scenario determined by the evolution of sanitary conditions.
There are two opportunities to pass the subject. Students who do not pass the course at the first opportunity will be entitled to a second, which will be shown on your transcript when it exceeds the mark achieved.
The assessment system is the following:
First ordinary opportunity:
Continuous assessment: class participation, resolution and participation in case analysis, discussion of readings, completion and presentation of group / individual work, assessment tests of theoretical or practical content, and other activities related to interactive and expository classes. Weight in the final grade: 100%.
All the subject competences will be evaluated through the continuous evaluation process.
Second extraordinary opportunity for recovery:
In the second extraordinary opportunity for recovery, the same evaluation system will be applied as in the first opportunity. A deadline will be opened for students to submit all those activities that had not achieved a passing grade in the continuous assessment. In those cases where the activity was already subject to public correction in the face-to-face or telematic class, substitute activities with the same weight in the final grade will be proposed.
According to Normativa de Permanencia at the USC for Bachelor and Master Studies (art. 5.2), the mere attendance and/or participation in any of the activities subject to assessment assumed that the student's final grade is different from NO PRESENTED.
The repeater students will follow the same evaluation system.
Repeat students will undergo the same assessment regime.
This is a 4.5 course and each credit is equivalent to 25 hours (total 112.5 hours).
Hours will be distributed in the following way:
- Presence time (expositive, interactive, tutoring and assessment): 45
- Students individual work: 67.5
There are no prerequisites, although it is advisable to have basic knowledge of business organization, about the disciplines related to the operating environment of the company and Business Computing.
Contingency plan
In the event that scenarios 2 or 3 are decreed, the teaching methodology will have the following adaptations with respect to scenario 1, of adapted normality:
In scenario 2 (social distancing), the expository/interactive sessions will be carried out in a face-to-face or virtual manner (using Microsoft Teams and the virtual classroom) according to the guidelines established by the deanery of each center or the rector's office for that scenario and the health measures that are established at that time.
In scenario 3 (closure of the facilities), all sessions will be virtual (using Microsoft Teams and the virtual classroom, combining synchronous and asynchronous activities).
The subject will be evaluated throught a continuous evaluation system (100%).
