Prerequisites
The subject 102346 Seminar Programa Universitat Empresa is a subject taught within the framework of the Cooperativa Educativa en alternancia PROGRAMA UNIVERSIDAD EMPRESA (PUE) (www.eco.uab.cat/ue)
This subject is only available for Economía and Busienss Administration (ADE) students in catalan & spanish
The subject "102346 Seminar Programa Universitat Empresa" option of 6 ECTS collects the computer science teaching of "hands on the keyboard" so that students have a really broad and practical domain of the use and applications of spreadsheets, very tight and adapted to the real needs of the use that must be made both in their future professional practice, as well as in their application in other subjects of their studies.
Being a subject of the University-Business Educational Cooperation Program that makes it possible to obtain the PUE mention to the corresponding degree, the academic deployment makes it possible and necessary a level of the PUE Seminar (computer skills) sufficient and appropriate to the profile of the practices in companies and institutions. The PUE Seminar teaches you in the first semester before the beginning of the first practical period.
Requirements prior to the start of the subject:
To be admitted by the Admission Committee to the PUE Mention established in the Faculty of Economics and Business applying the academic merit criteria that include academic record, number of passed ECTS, linguistic competence and suitability of the student to the practices profiles .
The content of this seminar presupposes that the student already has some known knowledge of related matters with the "Information Systems" and data analysis, either because he has acquired them in other subjects or by other means. It is for this reason that the present Study Guide begins with the first chapter, which aims to define and expose the knowledge that the student must know prior to the realization of this Subject.
Objectives and Contextualisation
The seminar is designed to ensure that, upon completion, students have a truly comprehensive and practical domain of the use and applications of the spreadsheets, which is very adjusted and adapted to the actual needs of the use that must be made both in his future professional practice, as in his application in other subjects of his studies.

Activities and Methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type: Directed | |||
| Practice classes | 17 | 0.68 | 4, 5 |
| Theory classes | 32.5 | 1.3 | 4, 5 |
| Type: Autonomous | |||
| Individual and / or group work for the preparation of exercises proposed in the classes | 96.5 | 3.86 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 |
Being an eminently practical content, carried out in its entirety in computer classrooms, the students constantly and immediately apply the knowledge acquired, in the exercises and practices that are being carried out in the classroom.
This approach allows a continuous evaluation of the evolution of students, facilitates the detection of possible difficulties that students may have in some matter or topic, gives the possibility to resolve doubts, allows to recommend complementary exercises of reinforcement if deemed necessary.
The proposed teaching methodology may undergo some modification depending on the face to face restrictions imposed by the health authorities.
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
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attendance and active participation in classes | 10% | 0 | 0 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 |
| Final exam | 10% | 1 | 0.04 | 1, 3, 4, 5 |
| Partial exam 1 | 40% | 1.5 | 0.06 | 1, 3, 4, 5 |
| Partial exam 2 | 40% | 1.5 | 0.06 | 1, 3, 4, 5 |
All students are required to perform the evaluation activities. If the student's grade is 5 or higher, the student passes the course and it cannot be subject to further evaluation. If the student grade is less than 3.5, the student will have to repeat the course the following year. Students who have obtained a grade that is equal to or greater than 3.5 and less than 4,9 can take a second chance exam. The lecturers will decide the type of the second chance exam. When the second exam grade is greater than 5, the final grade will be a PASS with a maximum numerical grade of 5. When the second exam grade is less than 5, the final grade will be a FAIL with a numerical grade equal to the grade achieved in the course grade (not the second chance exam grade).
A student who does not perform any evaluative task is considered “not evaluable”, therefore, a student who performs a continuous assessment component can no longer be qualified with a "not evaluable".
Calendar of evaluation activities
The dates of the evaluation activities (midterm exams, exercises in the classroom, assignments, ...) will be announced well in advance during the semester.
The date of the final exam is scheduled in the assessment calendar of the Faculty.
"The dates of evaluation activities cannot be modified, unless there is an exceptional and duly justified reason why an evaluation activity cannot be carried out. In this case, the degree coordinator will contact both the teaching staff and the affected student, and a new date will be scheduled within the same academic period to make upfor the missed evaluation activity." Section 1 of Article 264. Calendar of evaluation activities (Academic Regulations UAB). Students of the Faculty ofEconomics and Business, who in accordance with the previous paragraph need to change an evaluation activity date must process the request by filling out an Application for exams' reschedulehttps://eformularis.uab.cat/group/deganat_feie/application-for-exams-reschedule
