Teaching and learning activities
In person
The student must take a MOOC course on the Coursera platform (coursera.org) that meets all the requirements described:
a) Be a course in the field of Business or Economics (language learning is excluded).
b) Minimum duration of the course of 28 hours. It is recommended to choose a course between 28-40h.
c) In English, Spanish or Catalan.
d) Offered by a University, Spanish or foreign.
e) That it is a course that has the possibility of obtaining a completion certificate.
f) The course selected by the student must have the explicit approval of the lecturer of the subject BEFORE STARTING IT.
If any of the above requirements is breached, the MOOC will not be considered valid, and the grade for the course will be “Not Presented”, regardless of whether a certificate of having done it is provided.
SEE THE DOCUMENT POSTED IN "DIDACTIC MATERIAL" (the last section).
Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
To pass this subject:
These two requirements must be met simultaneously:
1. The student must present the certificate of having passed the MOOC course of the Coursera platform previously approved by the holder of the course, and that it meets the requirements established above. The Coursera certificate link has been sent to the responsible UIC professor. If one of these two elements is missing, the certificate is not considered to have been obtained. If the certificate is not obtained, the subject will not be able to be passed, and the grade will be "Not Presented".
2. Obtain a minimum grade of 5 on the course self-report.
The self-report is a work of between 6-8 written pages (1.5 spacing; Times font, size 12, margins 2cm. Per side) that develops the following points:
a) Summary of course content: maximum 2 pages.
b) What concepts / notions do you think are most relevant to you and why.
c) Statement of reasons in the choice of this specific course.
d) The generic assessment of your personal experience with the MOOC course taken.
e) With which subjects (not electives) of the ADE curriculum would you relate the MOOC course you have taken and how do you think the MOOC could support them.
The two documents must be delivered through the Moodle platform (hang up) at the latest on the day and time scheduled for the subject: May 28, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. If one of the documents is missing, the subject will be graded as "Not Presented". Outside this period, no delivery will be attended.
Final grade for the course:
For the preparation of the final grade for the course, two elements will be assessed: the certificate of the MOOC course carried out, provided that it meets the established requirements; and the self-report.
Weight of the certificate of the MOOC course taken: 40% of the final grade, provided that the self-report is passed.
The certificate of having passed the course and the corresponding coursera link of the certificate must be provided.
This achieves 40 points (out of 100), provided the self-report is passed.
Weight of the self-report: 60% of the final grade.
-The self-report is valued between 0 and 10 points, and has a weight of 60% of the final grade.
-In case of suspending the self-report, the subject cannot be passed, and the final grade will be that of the suspended self-report or "Not Presented", without taking into account the points of the certificate.
The final grade, out of 100 points, will be drawn up as follows, provided that the self-report grade is equal to or greater than 5 and the Coursera certificate for the course has been obtained:
40 + (self-report grade x 6) = Final grade
Examples:
40 + (6 x 6) = 76
40 + (8 x 6) = 88
Second call:
The second call is for those students who have not obtained the MOOC certificate or have completed a MOOC not previously authorized by the subject holder or have failed the aoutoreport or have not submitted it.
To pass the second call, the student must take another MOOC course that ends within the examination period of the second call, with the same requirements and evaluation system as those described for the first call. That is, it is necessary again the prior approval of the holder of the subject before starting the MOOC course, and follow the same course requirements established for the first call.
The preparation of the final grade follows the same procedure as in the first call with the exception that the maximum mark that can be obtained in the second call will be 70 points (7 out of 10).
