Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
As suggested by the official guidelines for learning processes during the pandemic, an hybrid system of in-class/distance learning will be adopted during the 1st semester of the 2020/2021 academic year. For health reasons, students may be authorized to follow in-class work by shifting to online learning. Within the context of the in-class/distance learning approach, all methods and forms of study used in this course are designed to help students to better understand the main concepts presented by the macroeconomic environment.
To complement and reinforce concepts, lectures will be given primarily through slides, with discussions and classroom presentations. All content in lectures are assessable through UBI-Moodle.
