Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
1) Two group assignments (3/4 members): the first focuses on a critical analysis of an article selected by the students, related to the topics covered in class; the second, based on this same article, requires the group to develop this topic in depth using recent literature and present a case study. Each of these two activities will have a weight of 15% in the first assignment and 30% in the second, respectively.
2) A final exam covering the program content taught throughout the semester, which will have a weight of 50% in the final grade. The student must achieve at least 8 out of 20 to pass the course.
3) Attendance and participation in classes will have a weight of 5%, but the student must attend at least 70% of the total classes taught. Attendance will be recorded in every class.
