Methodology
The subject is taught using different methodologies. The master class aims at developing ‘cos calves’ concepts of the subject, to conceptually present the subject and the preparation of situations, resolution of cases and its discussion, that approach the student to the reality of the HR.
N.B. The proposed teaching and assessment methodologies may experience some modifications as a result of the restrictions on face-to-face learning imposed by the health authorities. The teaching staff will use the Moodle classroom or the usual communication channel to specify whether the different directed and assessment activities are to be carried out on site or online, as instructed by the Faculty.
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
Assessment will be based on 4 evidences.
The first consists of contextualizing the function of HR in different organizations (15% of the grade). WeeK (4-6)
The second evidence (weight 15% of the grade) allows students to demonstrate that they know how to solve cases. Week (10-12)
The third evidence is to develop a real process (First part, 25% of the grade) throughout the course (plan, organize tasks and analyze results) and present the results, making the defence and argumentation with the classmates ( Second part 5% of the note). Week 813-15)
The conceptual assessment of the subject will be an in-basketball test with a weight of 40% (4th evidence), second assessment period. This evidence is mandatory to be assessed with a minimum grade of 4. If you do not meet these requirements, the maximum grade to be entered will be 4.5 points.
It will be considered NOT ASSESSABLE if the student does not have results in evidence of learning weighing less than 40%.
They may opt for resit: students who have not met the criteria established to pass the course and those who have been evaluated in a set of activities with a minimum weight of 66% of the total grade of the subject; the minimum grade to qualify for Resit is 3.5. The recovery test, in all cases, will be like the EV4 (in-basquet type exam). The note of this recovery will be directly the final post-recovery note.
The SINGLE ASSESSMENT will take place on the same day and time as the test of the second assessment period of the subject. And all the contents of the subject will be evaluated.
There will be a written exam, a case report and an individual oral presentation. (Approximate duration 4.5 hours).
The final grade of the subject will be obtained as described for the continuous assessment.
