Methodology and grading

Methodology

Case studies: Learning through the analysis of actual or simulated cases in order to interpret and resolve them by employing various alternative solution procedures.
Lecture: Pass on knowledge and activate cognitive processes in students, encouraging their participation.
Problem-based learning: Develop active learning strategies through problem solving that promote thinking, experimentation, and decision making in the student.
Solving exercises and problems: Exercise, test, and apply previous knowledge through routine repetition.

Grading

The final grade is derived as follows:
final note= 0.75*EF +0.2*EC +0.05*T,
where
EF = final exam score (0-10);
EC = rating of computer practices (0-10), evaluated with a practical exam in a computer room;
T = score for participation (0-10). Core values are the number of units and their quality.

To pass the course will need to obtain at least 5 points in EF, 4 in EC, and a final grade equal to or greater than 5 points.
