General aspects

This subject has as its methodological basis the learning based on the knowledge taught in the theory sessions and the application of the same in the cases, problems or exercises and seminars developed in the course.

Lectures

In the theory sessions, the concepts that the students will apply in the exercises, cases and problems are explained.

Seminars, cases, problems, and exercises

In these sessions, the students will have the opportunity to incorporate the theoretical concepts in situations similar to reality.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI):

In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed and encouraged as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution by the student in the analysis and personal reflection. In assignments, unless explicitly stated otherwise, the student must identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases. The use of AI is not allowed in exams.

Note: 15 minutes of a class will be reserved, within the calendar established by the center/degree, for the students to complete the surveys to evaluate the performance of the teaching staff and to evaluate the subject/module.

This subject does not have a single assessment system.

The assessment of the subject takes into account the following elements:

• Continuous assessment (AC) 60%. Participation, Exercises and assignments: Problem-based learning exercises, case discussion, individual or team work, presentation of results in class and other tests that are determined. Class participation will also be assessed.
• Exams (EX) 40%. Partial exams may be scheduled throughout the course. Final exam will be scheduled in the Faculty's exam calendar

Calculation of the final grade:

• If AC>=5 AND EX>=3.5 --> The final grade for the subject (N) will be: N=40%(EX)+60%(AC).
• If EX<3.5 OR AC<5 --> N= MIN(40%(EX)+60%(AC); 4).
• The student passes the subject if N>=5, and fails if N<3.5. In the intermediate case, they can use the recovery process detailed below.
• Anyone who has participated in less than 20% of AC activities and has not taken part in the exams will be considered non-assessable.

Calendar of assessment activities

The dates of the different assessment activities (exams not scheduled by the faculty, classroom exercises, submission of work, ...) will be announced sufficiently in advance during the semester.

The dates of the partial and final tests of the subject are scheduled in the Faculty's exam calendar.

According to the UAB Academic Regulations, the scheduling of assessment tests cannot be modified unless there is an exceptional and duly justified reason for which an assessment act cannot be carried out. In this case, the people responsible for the degrees, after consulting the teaching staff and the affected students, will propose a new schedule within the corresponding academic period.

Students of the Faculty of Economics and Business who, by the previous paragraph, need to change an assessment date must submit the request by filling out the document Request for rescheduling an exam: https://eformularis.uab.cat/group/deganat_feie/reprogramacio-proves

Grade review procedure

The day when the final grades will be published will be announced, coinciding with the final exam. Similarly, information will be provided on the procedure, place, date, and time of the exam, review by University regulations.

Recovery Process

According to the UAB Academic Regulations: To participate in the recovery process, students must have previously been evaluated in a set of activities that represent a minimum of two-thirds of the total grade for the subject or module. They must have obtained an average grade for the subject between 3.5 and 4.9.

The date of this test will be scheduled in the Faculty's exam calendar. The recoverable part is the exam part.

The resulting grade will follow the same previous calculation. Whoever passes the retake, the resulting grade will be the maximum between 5 and 0.6*AC+0.4*3.5

Irregularities in the assessment acts

According to UAB academic regulations: Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that may be deemed appropriate, and by current academic regulations, \"if the student carries out any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed. If several irregularities occur in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0\".

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.
