In person

Attendance at lectures and case methods is not compulsory.

Attendance at practice is mandatory. Non-attendance, due to health or force majeure, must be justified in writing.

Attendance will be taken by means of a signature for the case methods and practices.

Students in first sitting:

The final mark for the course will be calculated by adding the marks of:

• 10% of the final mark will consist of the assessment of attendance and participation in class, case methods and practices. Class participation is understood to be a positive and active attitude, the contribution of new and interesting concepts, as well as answering questions posed by the teacher or by other students in class.

• Practical mark: 20% (compulsory attendance to pass the whole subject, presentation of all the reports on the practice, unjustified non-attendance or non-presentation of the reports affect the overall mark for the practice).

• Mark for the case methods: 20% (compulsory attendance to pass the whole subject, presentation of all the work relating to the case methods, unjustified non-attendance or non-presentation of the work will affect the overall mark for the case methods).

• Exam note: 50%.

o Exam: first mid-term (March) and second mid-term or final (June).

* First mid-term examination in early March. It will consist of a multiple-choice test, and written test on a topic or problem solving. The marks for the test and the written part have the same weighting. The examination will last approximately 70-90 minutes.

- If the first mid-term exam is passed (a mark of 5 or higher):

- This knowledge is excluded from the final exam.

- The June exam will represent the second part (subjects taught from the date immediately following the completion of the first part).

If the mid-term exam is not passed (mark less than 5, including 4.99):

- There is no exclusion of content.

- The June exam will have two parts:

     Second partial mid-term (same time for all students)

     Repetition of first mid-term test (modified). Extra time will be available for this.

*Second mid-term at the beginning of June. It will consist of a multiple-choice type test, and a written test on a topic or problem solving. The marks for the test and the written part carry the same weight. The exam will last approximately 70-90 minutes.

- Repetition of the first mid-term if this is not passed in March. The exam will last approximately 40 minutes.

The final mark for the exam will be the average of the two mid-terms or the second midterm and repetition of the first as long as the mark for each of the two partials is greater than or equal to 5. If the mark of one of the partials is less than 5 the student must re-sit the exam in the same format but with the overall subject.

Students in second or subsequent sitting:

The mark for participation and attitude in class, case methods and practice will be saved, although, whenever they wish, students may attend the class again and obtain a new mark. On the other hand, students in a re-sit will take the overall final exam. The final mark for the course will be arrived at based on the criteria for the first sitting.

General points to bear in mind about the assessment system:

1. In the second part of the exam, a minimum mark of 5 must be obtained in order to be able to be averaged with the continuous assessment marks (case methods, attitude, practice and mid-term).

2. In the second part of the exam and re-sit of the first part, a minimum mark of 5 must be obtained in each one in order to be able to be averaged with the continuous assessment marks (case methods, attitude, practice and mid-term).

3. The test part of the exams will be questions with 4 answer options, counting +1 for the correct answers and -0.25 for the errors.

4. In the exams, the questions, topics to be developed or problems will mainly cover the material presented in the classroom, both in the master classes and in the case methods, as well as in the practice. However, there will be a minority of questions which cover the recommended bibliography, articles and recommended audiovisual material.

5. Class participation is understood as the contribution of interesting ideas or the raising of pertinent questions that help to improve the quality of the session, whether it is a master classes or case methods.

6. Class attendance:

• Regular attendance at theory classes is recommended.

• Attendance at master classes is not compulsory but attendees will have to abide by the rules indicated by the teachers.

• Attendance at case methods is mandatory as it is evaluated. For this assessment students must present the corresponding work.

• Attendance at practice is mandatory as they are also evaluated. Once again, the corresponding reports must be presented for the assessment.

• Failure to attend the case methods or practices must be due to health or more important reasons and must be justified.
