Teaching Methodologies
The subject will be taught through the exposition of the main concepts, in a methodology that systematically calls for the participation of students, complemented with the analysis of texts and practical cases. The continuous evaluation includes the completion of a test of frequency (75%) and a set of practical work to be carried out during classes (25%). These works will not be pre-scheduled. Students will have to obtain a minimum grade of 7.5 values in all assessment elements to be approved. In cases where the minimum grade for approval is not reached, the final designation will be NRC.
Assessment by exam, at all times, consists of a written exam (100%).
