Important Note: Teaching and assessment methods may be subject to change in case health authorities impose restrictions to the access to the Campus.

The course will consist of the following activities:

Lectures: The lecturer introduces and explains the basic concepts and graphs corresponding to each topic. Student attendance is essential.

Seminar sessions: these in-class sessions, of compulsory attendance, will be dedicated to concept development, problem solving, case studies and/or debates about current issues. They include class presentations by students.

Evaluation activities: There will be four activities (minimum) for that purpose. At least two of them will consist of written tests (a mid-term and a final exam).

Complementary activities: Lecturers may recommend attendance to conferences or other seminars.

On the use of Artificial Intelligence resources: For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed in out-of-class assessed activities exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations. The use of AI for data collection, processing, and analysis is explicitly excluded. When instructors design activities involving the use of AI, specific instructions will be provided regarding its use in that particular activity.

Assessment will be on a continuous basis along the semester. It will consist of the following activities:

1. A midterm written test (35%)

2. An end of semestr written test (35%)

3. Problems, cases, practical exercises: 30%

Professors will provide the dates of each evaluation activities at the beginning of the semester.

To pass, a weighted average grade of 5 over 10 or higher is required, AND at least a grade of 3.5 in each written test.

Re-assessment: If the weighted mean of all assessment activities is equal or greater than 3.5 points but less than 5, the student may take an exam at the date determined by the Facultat.

Those not presented: Students who begin the continuous evaluation process will have a final grade of passing or failing the subject, in no case not being presented. The exception is if only one of the evaluable activities has been presented. In this case, the grade will be 'not evaluable'. Special cases: In cases where the students cannot attend the written tests, and duly justified, the teaching staff responsible for the group will establish the re-take mechanisms.

Misconduct: A student who cheats or tries to cheat an exam will have a 0 as a mark. A Student who submits a paper or practice in which there is evidence of plagiarism will have a 0 as a mark and will receive a warning. In case of repetition, the students will fail the subject.

Single assessment (for those students whose application has been accepted)

Theoretical exam (40%), Exercises (35%), and written review with possible oral exam of a book to be agreed with the instructor (25%).

The same re-assessment system will be applied as for the continuous assessment.
