The subject is taught 100% in English and students must respond, orally and in writing, in the English language. In practices, lectures and exams.

Marketing Information Systems is a compendium of different areas of knowledge and, therefore, its development is interdisciplinary. Business management, marketing, market research, computing, strategic planning, communication, social media, are involved in its design.

Based on this thematic breadth, the framework of the program is developed starting from a theoretical-practical principle.

The sessions of the subject will consist of:

Theoretical sessions
Tutoring of the group work of the subject
Practical sessions in which the working groups will address the design of solutions that are used in Marketing Information Systems (such as Big Data, CRM, etc ...). This design will be carried out at a conceptual level, without going into the development of software and / or hardware solutions.
Tutoring sessions in which the progress of each group will be reviewed during the practice of the subject.

 

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 case of a change of teaching modality for health reasons, teachers will make readjustments in the schedule and methodologies.

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
Final Exam 40 2 0.08 CM21, KM27, SM22
Practices evaluated on the lecture theory 25% 3 0.12 CM21, KM27, SM22
group work of the subject 25% 1.5 0.06 CM21, KM27, SM22
individual exercises and reports 10% 1 0.04 CM21, KM27, SM22

This subject follows continuous evaluation and DOES provide for a single evaluation.

 

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

 

The CONTINUOUS evaluation of the subject is made up of:

A) Mandatory practices evaluated in class as demonstration and understanding of the theoretical sessions. 25% note


B) Group WORK OF THE SUBJECT: preparation and written and oral presentation of a PROJECT on a chosen company. 25% note


C)Preparation of reports on conferences and other documents proposed by the teaching staff: 10% grade (individual evaluation)


D) Final exam with theoretical and practical part 40% grade-Only a grade of 3.5 out of 10 is needed in the continuous evaluation exam TO AVARAGE WITH THE REST OF ACTIVITIES, group practices and group work/project of the subject.

 

A (25%) + B (25%)+ C (10%) + D( 40%) = 100% FINAL GRADE OF THE SUBJECT - CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

 


Reevaluation activities will be carried out in the last weeks of the semester.

Practices and group work are NOT recoverable. ONLY the theory andthe final exam can be recovered with the recovery exam. Students who do not achieve a grade of 3.5 in the theoretical exam must go to the recovery.

Single evaluation


The single evaluation system for the subject is based on the following percentages:


A) 50% Test (EXAM) WITH THEORETICAL PART AND PRACTICAL PART. It must be approved (5/10 or more EACH PART INDEPENDENTLY - THERE WILL NOT BE AVERAGE) to pass the subject (condition
essential) (The exam model is different from that of continuous evaluation).


B) 20% Presentation of a short report that must be defended orally individually. On a date to be determined.

C) 30% Delivery of an INDIVIDUAL final project:


A (50%) + B (20%)+ C (30%) = 100% FINAL GRADE OF THE SUBJECT - SINGLE EVALUATION

 

Recovery: single evaluation
a) According to regulations, in order to participate in the recovery process, students must have been
previously evaluated at least 2/3 of the total evaluable activities of the subject.


b) The THEORY AND PRACTICE test /EXAM can only be recovered if the student has obtained a grade lower than 4.9. The
Recovery test will consist of a written test evaluating THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL knowledge ALSO. AND NEED A GRADE OF 5/10 FOR RECOVERY


c) The grade obtained in the RAPORT DEFENSE (20%) will be part of the average
weighted final grade. Only in case of failing this test and if the student does so
considers may choose to recover it with proof of the same nature.


d) The final work of the INDIVIDUAL subject (30%) is anevaluable work that cannot be recovered in case of
suspend it. The reason is because doing a job of these characteristics is practically
impossible to do with the time we have in recovery.

 

(ENG) 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.
