Methodology

The process of learning bases at the work of the student, being the mission of the professorship aid it at this task supplying him information and showing him the fonts where can achieve . The development of the teaching of the subject and of the learning of the student bases at the following activities:
 
 1. Activities directed:
 1.1 masterly Classes: where the student achieves the conceptual bases of the matter and his normative juridical frame and jurisprudential. The masterly classes are the activities at which demands less interactiveness at the student and are conceived like a fundamentally unidirectional method of transmission of kens of the teacher/at at the student.
 1.2 practical Classes: where the students, individually or at groups reduced, analyse and resolve together with the teacher/at practical cases.
 The resolution and debate of the practical cases requires a previous work of the students, that will consist at the preparation of the basic conceptual elements of the matter at treating and the upright resolution of a case to hand it and/or debate it at the classroom. This activity will orient at the preparation of the students for the realisation of the 3 practical activities of appraisal.
 The base of the practical work is the realization and critical app of the rule and jurisprudence related with the content of the matter explained at the theoretic classes.
 
 2.Staffed activities:
 Activities that the students will develop individually or at groups reduced, with the no face-to-face support of the teacher/at, oriented at the preparation of the practical exams.
 2.1 Elaboration of chips-abridge of sentences or of rule. Realisation of diagrams of some epigraphs of the lessons.
 2.2 Search and reading of bibliography and instrumental jurisprudence for the resolution of the practical cases.
 2.3 practical Cases that elaborate previously at the resolution at the classroom.
 
 3. Freelance activities:
 3.1 Search and reading of bibliography, rule and complementary jurisprudence at the contents of the theoretic classes.
 3.2 Survey.
 3.3 practical Cases that elaborate and resolve at the classroom.

Assessment

SYSTEM OF EVALUATION OF THE ACQUISITION OF THE COMPETENCES. GRADING OF THE SUBJECT.
										
											
										
											1. ASSESSMENT SYSTEM: combines the continuous assessment of practical classes and the resolution of a final exam
										
											
										
											1.1 Continuous evaluation of practical classes.
										
											
										
											There will be three practical units that can be evaluated throughout the course. The positive evaluation of the practices requires the realization and improvement of the three evaluable practical units.
										
											
										
											1.2 Final exam.
										
											
										
											It can only be done if the continuous evaluation has been passed. It will consist of the resolution of four or five development questions, each corresponding to one or more epigraphs and / or sub-sections of the content of the subject.
										
											
										
											Each of the exam questions will be scored from 0 to 1 points. Test scoring each question 0,5 points. The exam grade will be obtained from the corresponding average.
										
											
										
											1.3 Qualification of the subject with the system of continuous evaluation and final exam
										
											
										
											The score obtained in the continuous assessment of the practices will have a value of 50% of the grade of the subject. The exam score will have a value of 50% of the grade of the subject.
										
											
										
											When the continuous assessment has been passed and a minimum of 5 points out of 10 has been obtained, the final grade of the subject will be obtained by making the corresponding average.
										
											
										
											2. REEVALUATION SYSTEM: the acquisition of competences is evaluated by performing an examination
										
											
										
											2.1. Re-evaluation of the students with the continuous evaluation of practices passed, which has not been presented or has suspended the final exam. You can take a re-evaluation exam, with the same criteria applicable to the evaluation exam.
										
											
										
											2.2. Reassessment of students who have not completed or have not passed the system of continuous assessment of practices.
										
											
										
											There will be a theoretical-practical exam that will consist of two parts:
										
											
										
											a) A theoretical part that will consist of the resolution of four or five development questions, each corresponding to one or more epigraphs and / or sub-sections of the content of the subject. Each question will be scored from 0 to 10 points and the grade will be obtained from the corresponding average. This part of the exam will have a value of 50% of the grade.

b) A practical part that will consist of the resolution based on law, of a practical assumption with the thematic content corresponding to the subject matter of the examination. For the resolution of this part will have to have, as support material, a normative repertoire. This part of the exam will have a value of 50% of the grade.
										
											
										
											The final grade of the exam will be obtained by making the average of the score obtained in both parts. The subject will be approved when each of the two parts of the theoretical-practical exam have been independently passed.
										
											
										
											3. DATES OF EXAMINATIONS
										
											
										
											3.1 Evaluation test: official date fixed.
										
											
										
											3.2 Reevaluation test: official date fixed.
										
											
										
											4. CALLS
										
											
										
											The number of calls is established in the permanency regulations.
