The planned teaching is in-person.

The activities that will allow students to correctly achieve the course objectives will be:

1. Theoretical classes where teachers will develop the main concepts.

The objective of this activity is to present the most important concepts of the subject, the necessary basic demonstrations and the aspects where most errors are usually made in the application of theoretical concepts.

2. Practical classes

The teacher will present practical cases that will be resolved together.

3. Resolution of cases and activities

Each topic will have an associated list of cases and/or questions and/or activities that will be resolved individually. The resolution of these cases will be discussed periodically in the practical classes.

4. In-person tutorials

The student has a few hours in which the subject teachers resolve their theoretical and practical doubts in person.

The completion of assessment activities is subject to the provisions set out in this course guide and in the "Policy of the School of Economics and Business on the Detection of Irregularities during Assessment Activities", which regulates the conditions under which assessment tasks are conducted and the procedures applicable in cases where indications of irregularities are detected. Students are encouraged to consult the policy.

Evaluation Criteria

• A test covering topics 1, 2, and 3 will be administered without consulting any materials. The maximum completion time will be 90 minutes. This test accounts for 25% of the final grade.
• Two graded assignments will also be part of the evaluation, each contributing 12.5% to the final grade.
• A final exam covering topics 4, 5, and 6 will be held on the date specified in the Faculty's calendar. No materials may be consulted during this exam. The maximum completion time will be 120 minutes. This exam constitutes 50% of the final grade.

The final assessment grade is a weighted average of the individual grades, using the aforementioned coefficients. To pass the course, a grade of 5 or higher is required.

In accordance with Article 266 (Assessment Results) of the UAB Academic Regulations (article modified by agreement of the Governing Council on July 12, 2023), point 4, the final grade of a subject will be rounded to the nearest whole number when it is within one tenth of a value that would result in a higher qualitative grade. This implies that 4.9, 6,9 and 8,9 course grades will be rounded to 5, 7 and 9 respectively.

Re-evaluation Policy

For students who obtain a grade between 3.5 and 4.8 (inclusive) in the initial evaluation, there will be a re-evaluation covering the entire syllabus. The format of this re-evaluation will be announced when the final grades are published. This re-evaluation will be scheduled according to the Faculty's exam calendar. Students who take and pass this re-evaluation will pass the course with a grade of 5. Otherwise, their original grade will stand.

"Non-assessable" status

A student is considered "Non-Assessable" in the course only if they have not participated in any of the assessment activities. Therefore, a student who completes any component of the continuous assessment can no longer be designated as "Non-Assessable".

Mandatory Assignments and Passing Conditions

All students are required to complete the graded assignments. If a student's course grade is 5 or higher, they are considered to have passed the course and will not be eligible for further evaluation.

If a student's course grade is below 3.5, they will need to repeat the course in the following academic year.

For students with a course grade of 3.5 or higher but below 5, they will be eligible to take a retake exam. The course instructors will decide the format of this exam. If the grade on the retake exam is 5 or higher, the final course grade will be "PASS" with a maximum numerical grade of 5. If the grade on the retake exam is below 5, the final course grade will be "FAIL" and the numerical grade will be the original course grade (not the retake exam grade).

A student who does not take any assessable exams is considered "not evaluable." Therefore, a student who completes any continuous assessment component cannot be classified as "not evaluable."

Calendar of evaluation activities

The dates of the evaluation activities (midterm exams, exercises in the classroom, assignments, ...) will be announced well in advance during the semester.

The date of the final exam is scheduled in the assessment calendar of the Faculty.

"The dates of evaluation activities cannot be modified, unless there is an exceptional and duly justified reason why an evaluation activity cannot be carried out. In this case, the degree coordinator will contact both the teaching staff and the affected student, and a new date will be scheduled within the same academic period to make up for the missed evaluation activity." Section 1 of Article 115. Calendar of evaluation activities (Academic Regulations UAB). Students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, who in accordance with the previous paragraph need to change an evaluation activity date must process the request by filling out an Application for exams' reschedule https://eformularis.uab.cat/group/deganat_feie/application-for-exams-reschedule

Grade revision process

After all grading activities have ended, students will be informed of the date and way in which the course grades will be published. Students will be also be informed of the procedure, place, date and time of grade revision following University regulations.

Retake Process

"To be eligible to participate in the retake process, it is required for students to have been previously been evaluated for at least two thirds of the total evaluation activities of the subject." Section 3 of Article 112 ter.The recovery (UAB Academic Regulations). Additionally, it is required that the student to have achieve

The date of the retake exam will be posted in the calendar of evaluation activities of the Faculty. Students who take this exam and pass, will get a grade of 5 for the subject. If the student does not pass the retake, the grade will remain unchanged, and hence, student will fail the course.

Irregularities in evaluation activities

In spite of other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the case that the student makes any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation activity, it will be graded with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that can be instructed. In case of various irregularities occur in the evaluation of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0". Section 10 of Article 116. Results of the evaluation. (UAB Academic Regulations).
