The methodology is based on two main axes: lectures and practical work with the computer. All of this, with the basic intention of promoting an active dynamic in which the greatest possible student participation and both individual and group work is encouraged.



The Master Classes would consist of the presentation and development of the basic concepts and the tools and techniques that the student must learn in order to achieve the proposed knowledge objectives. In addition, there would be occasional debates with the students in order to enhance their positive critical aspects.



The practicals would entail, individually and in groups, the resolution of problems and assumptions in order to fix the concepts developed in the lectures. To this end, practical cases are presented in which students develop, in practical terms, the objectives and competences of the subject. The aim is for students to acquire skills related mainly to oral communication, the capacity for synthesis, teamwork and a positive critical spirit.



The key transversal competences for sustainability are worked on based on the achievement of cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural learning objectives. The specific competences, objectives and outcomes are described in the corresponding student guides. The assessment of these outcomes is included in the context of continuous assessment.

CONTINUOUS MIXED EVALUATION



The subject will be evaluated basically by means of a continuous-mixed evaluation.

Those who do not attend class regularly will not be able to obtain part of the mark for the tasks carried out in the so-called "computer practicals".

These tasks will be the following:

-Submission of group work: will have a valuation of up to 10% of the final grade.

-Resolution of evaluable problems: will have a value of up to 20% of the final grade.



For these continuous-mixed assessment students, the subject will be graded in the following way:

-10% through presentations in the classroom (voluntary task).

-20% by problem solving in the classroom (voluntary homework).

-70% by means of a theoretical-practical exam in the ordinary exam session.



It will be necessary to pass the written exam in order to proceed to the sum of the grade obtained in the work and the practicals.



WEEK 9 OF THE SECOND FOUR-MONTH PERIOD IS THE DEADLINE FOR STUDENTS TO WAIVE THE CONTINUOUS EVALUATION AND THE MARKS OBTAINED IN THE TESTS TAKEN UP TO THAT WEEK. IN THIS CASE, STUDENTS WILL GO ON TO THE FINAL EVALUATION.





For students who have not taken the continuous-mixed evaluation by their own decision or because they are unable to attend class regularly, and therefore pass to the final evaluation, the grading of the course will be carried out as follows:

-70% by means of a theoretical-practical exam in the ordinary exam session.

-30% by means of a test on the Consolidated Annual Accounts of a company (covering the work that would have been done in the classroom).

It will be necessary to pass the written exam in order to proceed to the sum of the marks obtained.



NOTE: Students who have not taken the written exam will be graded as "Not Presented".
