Methodology
The training activities that take place in this subject are of a supervised and self-directed type:
The face-to-face classes are directed by the teachers of the subject and are carried out in the spaces of the Faculty. There are classes in a large group that combine the exhibition, reflection and debate of the main contents and elements of discussion of the different blogs. There are also small group tasks to analyze and discuss the activities proposed by the teaching staff in order to complement the theoretical sessions.
Activities supervised by the teacher outside the classroom include individual and group tutorials, both physical and virtual, which must be used to solve difficulties, orient tasks and ensure the understanding of the learning of the subject.
Self-employed work is carried out by the student independently and involves the preparation of readings, cases and other types of tasks in order to make the most of the sessions and achieve the objectives of the subject

Assessment
The evaluation in this subject is continued and is distributed in two thematic blocks structured as follows:
Block A (50%): topics 1, 2, 3, 4.
Block B (50%): topics 5, 6, 7 and 8.
The assessment will be based on 3 evaluative evidence, which must be approved with a 5 calculate the final mark. Students who have successfully followed the course during the course and still have some non-achieved aspects will be given the opportunity to pass the subject by completing a final recovery task on the 2th of July. The recovery task is not going to be used to improve the final mark. If you finally do not pass any of the blocs (for failing or NP), it will mean that the expected minimum has not been reached and the subject with the corresponding rating for the failed bloc will be failed.
To pass this subject, the student must show, in the activities proposed, good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the language or the vehicular languages that appear in the teaching guide.
The results of each evaluation must be published on the virtual campus within a maximum period of 15 days after its completion, and a review date must be offered within 10 days of its publication.
Attendance to face-to-face sessions is mandatory, the student must attend a minimum of 80%. Otherwise, the evaluation will correspond to an NP.
According to UAB regulations, the plagiarism or copy of any work or written test will be penalized with a 0 as a mark of the subject losing the possibility of recovering it, whether it is an individual or group work (in this case, all members of the group will have a 0). If during the realization of individual work in class, the teacher considers that a student is trying to copy or discovered any type of document or device that is not authorized by the teaching staff, the same will be marked with a 0, without a recovery option, and therefore, the subject will be failed.
The treatment of particular cases, doubts, suggestions, etc. should be addressed to the teachers of the corresponding block.
