The course is divided into two main blocks:
- THEORY: Lectures with discussion and classroom exercises in large groups. It is recommended to attend class regularly although it is not compulsory; it is up to the students to attend or not. The teaching materials worked on in theory classes will NOT be shared with students.
- SEMINARS: Case discussion seminars. In groups of 22-25 students, students will work on a series of situations that they will have to solve in groups and present orally. These activities are carried out in a medium-sized group and each group is assigned a teacher who will monitor and teach. It is compulsory to attend 100% of the seminars.
In addition, there are 98 hours of independent work in which students have to prepare exercises, notes, reflections, questions and other activities related to the classes.
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.

- Multiple-choice exam. Individual assignment which represents 35% of the final mark for the course.
- Oral presentations. Group assignment which represents 30% of the final mark for the course. In small groups, each group must present the resolution of their exercises and actively participate in the discussion established in the group. In those cases where irregular participation of a member/s of the group is detected, the teacher will be able to assess that person/s individually.
- Digital portfolio. Group assignment that represents 35% of the final grade of the course. In small groups, a digital learning portfolio will be created which will contain the main evidence consulted in the learning of the subject, notes made by the students, complementary videos, materials produced for the seminars, podcasts, websites, etc. At the beginning of the course, full instructions will be given on how to prepare it and how it will be assessed.
VERY IMPORTANT:
- Each assessment activity of the subject must be approved with a minimum of 5.0 points in order to calculate the final grade. Otherwise, the subject will be recorded as suspended and the student will have to make up on the established dates.
- Only the written exam and final paper can be retaken; people who suspend the seminars will not be able to recover them given the dynamics used and the continuous evaluation of them.
- To be entitled to the final recovery test, the student must have taken all the assessment tests.
- Missing more than 30% of the seminars will be considered non-evaluable.
- The option to "upgrade" is not contemplated in the exam. Thus, the grade obtained in the ordinary call will be final if it is greater than or equal to 5.0.
- The use of artificial intelligence tools for the preparation of written work is prohibited. If its unauthorized use is detected, it will mean the immediate suspension of the subject with no recovery option and will be reported to the coordination of the degree.
- Any sign of plagiarism will result in the suspension of the subject without the option of recovery.
- No disrespectful action towards the rest of the students, teachers, PTGAS and facilities will be tolerated. If necessary, the coordination of the degree will be informed in order to open an analysis committee which may mean the suspension of the subject.
- This subject does not include the single assessment.
- Each unexcused absence entails the subtraction of 0.5 points from the final seminar grade. More than 4 unexcused absences means suspension of the seminar activity.
- Work outside the established period will not be accepted.
- Students have the right to review the assessment tests. For this purpose, the date will be specified in Moodle.
OBTAINING THE FINAL GRADE:
The final grade for the subject will be the sum of the different parts that make it up. According to agreement 4.4 of the Governing Council 11/17/2010 of the evaluation regulations, the grades will be:
- From 0 to 4.9 = Fail
- From 5.0 to 6.9 = Passed
- From 7.0 to 8.9 = Notable
- From 9.0 to 10 = Excellent
- From 9.0 to 10 = Honors. The criteria for assigning honors is established by the teaching team and is not exclusively numerical. Active participation in extracurricular voluntary activities linked to the subject will be taken into account.
The following situations are considered justified absences:
- Official exam (does not include driving)
- Acute illness
- Specialized medical visit
- Competition of elite athletes (not training)
- Death of a family member or close person
