Methodology

The competences and the methodological option that is taken, require a participatory attitude of the student, that is concrete in the attendance and active participation in the classroom, the predisposition to conceptual changes, the work of previous reading of the texts Work in class and collaborative work with classmates in the small group.

The methodological approach is the principle of the variety of methodological strategies. It must facilitate active participation and learning of the students. In this sense, keynote sessions will arise with large group, and some activities to work in small groups using cooperative learning and self-employment will be strengthened. The teacher has to support students in this methodological approach, providing some resources to mediate their learning process. The tutorials will be considered as a fundamental part in this methodological approach.

Assessment

The evaluation of the subject is continuous and will be based on a written test that will have a weight of 40% in the final mark of the subject and in activities / practical work either individual (10% in the final mark) or group (50% in the final mark) . All the evidence must obtain a minimum of 5 to be able to make an average.
Students who have successfully followed the subject during the course and still have some aspect not achieved, will be given the opportunity to pass the subject by completing a final reassessment. In this case, the maximum grade of the re-evaluated block will be 5. In no case, the re-evaluation will be considered to raise the mark obtained.
If finally one of the evidences (for suspension or NP) is not approved, it will mean that the expected minimum has not been reached and the subject with the corresponding qualification for the suspended evidence will be suspended.
The results of the evaluation of each of the evidences must be published on the virtual campus within a maximum period of 21 days after its completion, and a review date must be offered within 10 days after its publication.

The practical work in class may consist of case analysis, creation of teaching materials, problem solving of real situations, analysis of innovative methodologies, analysis and discussion of readings, among others.

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 In this case, all members of the group will have a 0). If during the course of an individual work in class, the teacher considers that a student is trying to copy or discovered any type of document or device not authorized by the teaching staff, the same will be described with a 0, without a recovery option, and therefore, the subject will be suspended. Attendance at face-to-face sessions is mandatory, the student must attend a minimum of 80%. Otherwise the evaluation will correspond to an NP.

The treatment of particular cases, doubts, suggestions, etc. should be addressed to the teachers of the corresponding block.
