Teaching will be offered on campus. 

Through the course the different chapters of the course will be developed.

Usually a series of materials and activities will have to be worked by the student prior to the classes to motivate

and improve the comprehension of the subject.

Through each chapter, a series of exercises and activities will be proposed to the students to reinforce the

contents. These activities will be developed by reduced groups of students.

Each week the teachers will be available some hours to attend the students individually to solve any doubts

they may have (tutorial time).

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted at any stage. Any work that includes fragments generated with AI will be considered a breach of academic honesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade for the activity, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.

Comprehensive evaluation

This subject/module does not offer the option for comprehensive evaluation.

A student is considered as \"Not evaluable\" for the final overall grade, whenever he/she did not participate to

any evaluation activity.

Minimum Final Exam Grade

To pass the course, the final exam grade must be at least a 4. If this requirement is not met, the student must take the makeup exam, provided that the overall course grade (continuous assessment and final exam) is at least a 3.5, as stipulated by UAB regulations.

Justification of Answers

Any numerically correct answer in an examination that is not supported by the corresponding calculations will be considered copied and, therefore, will result in a grade of zero for the entire examination.

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 contacting the studies coordinator

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

All students are required to perform the evaluation activities. If the student's grade is 5or higher, the student

passes the course andit cannot be subject to further evaluation. If the student grade is less than 3.5, the

student will have to repeat the course the following year. Students who have obtained a grade that is equal to

or greater than 3.5 and less than 5 can take a second chance exam. The lecturers will decide the type of the

second chance exam. When the second exam grade is greater than 5, the final grade will be a PASS with a

maximum numerical grade of 5. When the second exam grade is less than 5, the final grade will be a FAIL with

a numerical grade equal to the grade achieved in the course grade (not the second chance exam grade).

A student who does not perform any evaluative task is considered \"not evaluable\", therefore, a student who

performs a continuous assessment component can no longer be qualified with a \"not evaluable\".\"

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 a0, 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).

\"To participate in the retake process, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities that represent a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject or module. ” Section 3 of Article 112b. Retake (UAB Academic Regulations).

The proposed evaluation activities may undergo some changes according to the restrictions imposed by the health authorities on on-campus courses.

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.
