The course development is based on the following activities:

• Teaching will be offered on campus
• Master classes: in these sessions the teacher transmits to the students the essential knowledge of each one of the topics of the subject. Students have a basic textbook that should work to take advantage of master classes. Assistance to these sessions is recommended to consolidate the knowledge and so that the student can bridge the theory and news of economic news.
• Practical classes: these sessions include a set of activities that the students and the teacher jointly carry out, including the carrying out of exercises, the preparation and presentation by students of the main international economic institutions, some Spanish economic sectors, and of debates on the economic news from press cuts or documents published by diverse organizations and the presentation in class by the student of works or practices realized.
• Recommended activities: the teacher can recommend attendance at lectures, debates, seminars as a complement to the subject.
• Autonomous activities: the student must complement the activities aimed at finding information about the selected subjects, teamwork and carrying out practical exercises.
• A detailed schedule outlining the content of each session will be presented on the first day of the course and will be available on the course’s Virtual Campus, where students will find all teaching materials and necessary information for eƯective course monitoring. Should the teaching modality change for reasons of force majeure according to the competent authorities, the teaching staƯ will inform students of any modifications to the course schedule and teaching methodologies.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Continuous Assessment

The assessment of the course will be carried out on a continuous basis throughout the semester according to the following criteria:

To pass the course, students must obtain an average grade of 5.0 or higher.

During the semester, a minimum of two written exams will be held, accounting for a total of 80% of the final grade. The exact exam schedule will be announced during the course.

Additionally, other assignments and exercises will be completed in class and/or through the Virtual Campus. These activities will contribute to the final course grade (20% of the final mark).

Resit Process

Students who have participated in the continuous assessment process and fail the course may take a resit assessment, provided they have obtained a minimum grade of 3.5.

All activities, both theoretical and practical (seminars and laboratory sessions), are eligible for resit, provided that students have been assessed in at least two-thirds (2/3) of the total assessable activities.

The grade obtained in the resit examination will become the final course grade.

In accordance with the Faculty Board's regulations, the last three weeks of the semester (Weeks 17, 18, and 19) will be allocated to these activities.

The grade review process is automatic and will take place immediately after grades are published. Students wishing to review their work must request a review by email within the period specified by the instructor.

The course instructor, with the approval of the academic program coordination and the faculty, may exclude certain activities from the resit process if, due to their nature, they are considered non-recoverable, provided that such activities do not collectively exceed 50% of the final course grade.

Resit examinations will cover the material corresponding to the failed part(s) of the course, as well as topics addressed in assignments and exercises specified by the course instructor.

Non-Attendance

Students who begin the continuous assessment process will use up the examination session and will receive a final grade of either pass or fail; they may not receive a grade of "not attended."

The exception is when students have submitted only some exercises (but not the written exams); in this case, the final status will be "not assessable."

If a student is unable to attend one of the two written exams and provides valid justification, the instructor will establish an appropriate alternative assessment procedure.

Second Enrollment

Students taking the course for a second time may choose to complete a single comprehensive assessment consisting of one examination. The final course grade will correspond to the grade obtained in this comprehensive assessment.

Academic Misconduct

Any student who commits an academic irregularity will receive a grade of 0 for the corresponding assessment activity.

If multiple irregularities occur, the student's final grade for the course will be 0.

Single Assessment

(For students whose application has been approved)

• Theoretical examination: 40%
• Exercises: 40%
• Submission of assignments agreed upon with the instructor(s): 20%

All activities included in the single assessment system are eligible for resit.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of coursework development, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution from the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection.

Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using AI technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced both the process and the final outcome of the activity.

A lack of transparency regarding the use of AI will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a grade penalty for the activity or more severe sanctions in serious cases.
