Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The classes will have a theoretical-practical approach, combining the exposure of theoretical contents with illustrative practical examples, followed by an application exercise.
Theoretical contents will be presented by the teacher, favouring the expository method using audio visual means. In addition, in order to continuously assess the evolution of learning, case studies will be presented and discussed and exercises related to the given subjects will be solved.
Students should carry out group work in which they simulate carrying out a recurring audit of an entity's accounts, with the aim of not only applying concepts presented in class, but also stimulating the deepening of these same contents and the obtaining/discovery of new knowledge.
The established evaluation criteria aim to assess the apprehension of theoretical concepts and their practical application to concrete cases.
