The main objective of the lecture sessions will be to introduce the student to the contents of the topics that make up the program, highlighting the most relevant aspects and the relationship between these and current events.
In the interactive lessons the students will try to apply the theoretical concepts. These sessions are oriented to the active participation of the students, for this purpose, case discussions will be carried out, problem solving will be worked on, and readings texts, articles or current issues will be commented/debated. The personal work activities of the students include, in addition to the time dedicated to the study, the realization of the activities indicated by the teachers.
The lectures and interactive sessions will take place during the official timetable published by the center and will be face-to-face.
The teachers will be able to monitor the attendance of the students and their participation in the sessions.
The autonomous work of the students will be guided by the teacher in the hours destined to tutorials.
There will be an intention to make visits to companies, which will allow a greater approach to the business reality.

The evaluation will consider all the activities developed by the students (realization and active participation in the analysis of cases, debate and commentary of readings, articles or current topics, visualization and commentary of videos, realization and exposition of works, realization of questionnaires on theoretical or practical contents, etc.).
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests will apply the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and review of qualifications.
There are two opportunities to pass the subject. Students who do not pass the subject in the first opportunity will have the possibility of a second opportunity, which will be the one that appears in their academic record if the qualification obtained is higher.
The evaluation system for these two opportunities will be as follows:

First ordinary opportunity. Continuous evaluation is contemplated, combined with a final test.
1. Continuous evaluation: resolution and participation in the analysis of cases, discussion of readings, completion and presentation of papers, questionnaires and other activities related to the lectures and interactive sessions.
Weight in the final grade: 50%.
The evaluable activities will be included in the virtual classroom as well as their weighting. In this part the following competences will be evaluated: CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5, CG7, CT4, CT10, CE9, CE10, CE11, CE17.

2. Final content exam: compulsory test in which the learning results will be assessed, and may include short answer questions, multiple choice questions, short reasoning questions, or cases (real or invented) to which the student must give a solution, based on the theoretical contents of the course and/or on the skills/competences developed throughout the term.
Weight in the final grade: 50%.
In this part the following competences will be evaluated: CG1, CT5, CE3, CE5.
The final exam will be face-to-face.
In order to add the mark obtained in the continuous evaluation to the grade of the exam/content test, students must achieve a minimum grade of 2.5 points out of 5 in the final content exam and must have participated in the elaboration of at least 75% of the activities (cases, exercises, workshops, etc.) proposed. The aggregate mark must be equal to or higher than 5 points out of 10 to pass the subject.

Second opportunity
In the second opportunity, the same evaluation system will be applied as in the first opportunity. This means that there will be a new final exam with the same weighting established for the first opportunity, which will be added to the score obtained in the continuous evaluation during the course.

In accordance with the Permanence Regulations in force in the USC for Bachelor and Master studies (art. 5.2), the mere attendance and/or participation in any of the activities subject to evaluation will mean that the student's final grade will be different from NOT PRESENTED.
In the records, the aggregate grade of the continuous evaluation and the final exam will be recorded, with the following exceptions. If the student does not reach the minimum percentage of activities to be delivered (75% of those proposed), the grade that will appear in the minutes will be the one achieved in the activities, the exam grade will not be added. If the student does not reach the minimum grade in the exam (2.5 out of 5), the grade that will appear in the minutes will be the grade achieved in this test, the continuous evaluation will not be added. If the student does not take the final exam, the grade in the minutes will be zero, the continuous evaluation will not be added.
Students who have been granted dispensation of attendance following the Instruction nº 1/2017 of the General Secretariat on the dispensation of class attendance in certain circumstances, will be evaluated with a specific final exam that will account for 100% of the grade.

The course is 4.5 credits.
The total work hours are distributed as follows: Hours of lectures and interactive class, tutorials and evaluation in the modality to be determined: 41.
Individual work of the student: 71.5.

In order to maximize the learning process, it is recommended that the students attend regularly to the expository and interactive sessions, participate actively in all the activities proposed by the professors and consult the bibliography and other recommended material.
Tutorships are a useful resource that students should use as often as necessary. Access to the virtual campus and institutional e-mail for information on different issues that may arise during the course and to be able to have and review complementary material before the classes, facilitates student participation and their ability to acquire knowledge.
