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.
Cooperative learning: Develop active learning through cooperative working strategies among students and promote shared responsibility to reach group goals.
Lecture: Pass on knowledge and activate cognitive processes in students, encouraging their participation.
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

REVIEW THEORY AND PRACTICES (MULTIPLE CHOICE) 50 %
REVIEW PROBLEMS 50 %
UNTIL A MAXIMUM OF ONE EXTRA POINT BY THE REALIZATION OF A WORK WITH EXPOSURE IN A SEMINAR
THIS EXTRA WILL BE ADDED TO THE WHEN THE EXAM EXCEED A SCORE OF 5 OUT OF 10
