Teaching Methodologies
This Curricular Unit is taught based on a methodology that combines moments of conceptual exposition and experimentation. Students who opt for periodic assessment are invited to carry out (i) a group work, which corresponds to the design of an intervention project, with a weight of 60% in the assessment; ii) an individual work, which consists of the critical analysis of a financing program, with a weight of 40% in the evaluation. Students whose weighted average of the grades obtained in the different assessment elements is equal to or greater than 9.5 values will be approved. Alternatively, students may opt for assessment by examination. This consists of carrying out an individual written test, 100%. Students who score more than 9.5 points will pass the exam. Students who score between 7.5 and 9.4 will be entitled to an oral test, with the final grade corresponding to the average of the classifications obtained.
