1) Directed activities
They are those that are developed in the classroom, in the schedules foreseen for the course and under the direction of the teacher in charge. Three types of activities are planned: a) master classes, in which the teacher will present and develop different key points of the syllabus; b) conferences, in which specialists from the academic or professional field will analyse current issues; and c) practical activities, consisting of the resolution of practical cases or questionnaires and their oral or written presentation, based on the work carried out by the student body prior to the face-to-face session. Through this last kind of directed activities, between four and six continuous assessment activities will be carried out, with the value that will later be specified.
2) Supervised activities
Within the framework of this course, the most common tasks will be the search and analysis of legal documentation (case-law, regulations, administrative resolutions, collective agreements, etc.), the search and reading of bibliography, the resolution of practical cases and the preparation of legal documents, all linked to practical activities, through which the work carried out by the students will be supervised.
3) Autonomous activities
These activities are all those in which students organise their time and effort autonomously, individually or in a group, such as for example the search and reading of bibliography, the elaboration of schemes and summaries or the study. Within the framework of this course, the autonomous activities, which are essentially linked to the preparation and passing of the final exam, constitute an important section in the learning process, especially in the master's degree, in which the maturity of the student allows for greater solvency and exploitation of the autonomous activities.

Assessment will be based on continuous evaluation activities, attendance and a final exam
As far as ongoing assessment activities are concerned, these will be of a short format and will be developed within the framework of the practical activities. They will consist of the resolution of practical cases, the resolution of questionnaires and/or the writing of writings, for their subsequent oral or written presentation. Six evaluation activities will be carried out, which as a whole will have a value of 45 per cent of the final mark.
Attendance is also subject to assessment, always keeping in mind that attendance of no less than 80 per cent of the sessions of each part of the course will be necessary. Within this margin, a slight penalty is foreseen in the final grade, which will rely on the student's absences. In this regard, it is understood that the master's teaching character, the small number of students and the teaching dynamics leads to this importance of the most complete attendance possible to the programmed sessions. Class attendance will have a maximum value of 15 per cent of the grade.
The final exam will result in a grade of 40 per cent of the final mark. Before the end of the face-to-face sessions, precise indications will be given about the number and specific characteristics of the questions that will be included in the exam.
