Methodology

Taking into account that the modality of the class is Online and with the aim of achieving the learning objectives described in this Guide, we will develop a methodology that combines the individual study from the Agenda, with the work of realistic practical cases.
 
In the practices of the subject, exercises and practical cases will be carried out in  English, so that the student can demonstrate their knowledge and the application of Quality Management models and standards in the international framework.

It is important to mention that the main objective of the video classes is to resolve the doubts related to the syllabus, therefore, it is essential to prepare the topics before each session.

A forum of doubts will also be created where the students will add questions and clarifications of the subject.

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.

Assessment

The continuous EVALUATION will consist of:

- 4 individual practical exercises (PEC's) whose weight in the evaluation will be 50% of the overall grade: Each student must design the quality management plan for a specific business situation of free choice, using the models and methodologies of management proposed in the course syllabus. The exercises must be done in English. In order to be eligible for continuous evaluation, a minimum of 3 PECs must be completed.

- 2 Final exams that will consist of conceptual short-answer questionnaire-type questions about the contents of the course manual and the management models studied during the course with a weight of 50% of the evaluation grade. It is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4 to compute in the continuous evaluation.

RECOVERY:

In case of not passing the evaluation, the students will be able to do a recovery test on the scheduled date and time, which will deal with all the contents of the program. To participate in the recovery, students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities, whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade for the subject. However, the grade that will appear in the file will be a maximum of 5-Approved.

WARNING: "Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation of the grade will be graded with a zero (0). For example, plagiarism, copy, let copy …… an evaluation activity, will imply suspending this evaluation activity with a zero (0). Evaluation activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable."
