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.
Project-based learning: Realization of a project to solve a problem, applying acquired learning and promoting abilities related to planning, design, performing activities, and reaching conclusions.
Solving exercises and problems: Exercise, test, and apply previous knowledge through routine repetition.

Grading

The final grade of the Master's Thesis will be obtained in a weighted way as follows: The qualification granted by the tutor of Master's Thesis will account for a 25% of the final grade, and the one granted by the defense of the Master's Thesis before a Faculty Committee will account for the other 75% of the final grade.

To use this method of assessment will require a written request to the address of the master before 15 January of the course. In addition, the student who requests it must be able to ensure that you have the technical requirements for a video conference.
