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

During practice sessions the student will be asked to perform a series of specific exercises with content developed to materialize in each theoretical session.

Each of these exercises is a percentage of the final evaluation of each teaching unit. The final evaluation of the subject is obtained using the average of the evaluation of teaching units 2, 3, and 4 which will add up to 10% in consideration of the attitudinal content of the course and evolution of student during the course.
