This module is taught in English.
The module consists of 24 hours of expository teaching and 24 hours of interactive teaching, distributed over three face-to-face hours per week. In the interactive sessions, the students' planned independent work activities will be carried out and corrected: analysis and critical comments on documents, case studies, group and individual work that requires the search and selection of information, oral presentations of group work, etc.
Some of these autonomous work activities will be uploaded to the USC virtual campus classroom on a mandatory basis. Dates will be set periodically for the 3 hours of scheduled tutorials, in which problems and doubts will be resolved and mastery of the learning tools will be reinforced.
FIRST TRY:
In this first opportunity, 40% of the final grade will correspond to the activities and work scheduled in the interactive sessions. In order to enjoy this continuous evaluation system, it is necessary to submit all the tasks scheduled on the Virtual Campus.
20% of the final grade will come from attendance and, fundamentally, from active participation in class. Students who have been granted EXEMPTION FROM ATTENDANCE to classes by the dean will be evaluated for their active participation in the Virtual Campus.
The other 40% of the final grade will correspond to the grade of the mandatory final exam.
SECOND TRY AND RETAKERS
The criteria, requirements and evaluation percentages will be the same as for the first opportunity: the student will have the opportunity to resubmit, or perform for the first time, the scheduled tasks.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Regulations for evaluating the academic performance of students and reviewing grades” will apply.
