MethodologyToggle Navigation
This is a 6 credits' course, which means an estimate workload of 150 hours: 60 of them are dedicated to face-to-face sessions with the teacher (through power point presentations, articles, interviews, videos or presentations from experts in the field) and the other 90 hours are established for autonomous work.
Assessment systemsToggle Navigation
The student will be marked preferably through continuous evaluation, and final grading will be based on that, divided into two aspects: 50% of Individual Jobs (Including a written exam), 50% of Group work.
If the student, according to the regulations of the UPV/EHU, chooses not to be marked by the continuous evaluation, she or he will be able to complete a non-continuous assessment.
In this juncture, students will have to submit a written document to the professor responsible for the subject, explaining the renunciation of the continuous evaluation, for which they will have a period of 9 weeks. The final evaluation modality will then include 100% of the assessment, and it will bring together both theoretical and practical aspects as it follows:
-A written exam with questions to be developed: 50% of the evaluation.
-Practical work to be delivered at the time of the exam: 50% of the evaluation.
This evaluation system will be applied both to face-to-face and non-face-to-face modalities, if the situation requires it.
