Methodology

2nd term: FACE-TO-FACE (100% of classes in classrooms):
 
The proposed teaching methodology and assessment may be subject to change depending on the attendance restrictions imposed by the health authorities.
 
Methodology
The subject will be developed in two parallel, articulated and complementary lines:
 
Classes will be taught in Spanish, Catalan and English. A part of the agenda, still to be finalized, will be impacted
in English. probably will be one third of the sessions approx.
 
a) The linear review of a set of basic contents on strategic and operational marketing on and off
line
b) The work will focus on a problem of marketing and promotion of a product where strategic and operational marketing will be used.
 
While in the theoretical sessions we will review the concepts of strategic and operational marketing, in the practical sessions the students will progress in a parallel and coherent way in approaches and evolution of the work of a concrete case of reference (real or simulated), on which they will go applying all the knowledge acquired ON and OFF.
The students will be organized in groups. Each theoretical session will be accompanied by a practice evaluated to be done in class and / or at home. Each group will work on the case from a specific and different perspective, agreed between the teacher and the group.
A draft Mk ON and OFF line plan will be developed in groups that will be tutoring several times during the course, partial deliveries evaluated, which will finally be presented orally and in writing.
 
The calendar will be available on the first day of class. Students will find all information on the Virtual Campus: the description of the activities, teaching materials, and any necessary information for the proper follow-up of the subject. In caseof a change of teaching modality for health reasons, teachers will make readjustments in the schedule and methodologies.
 
In the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that could be instructed. In the event, that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
