50% of the credits are theoretical and 50% practical. Theory will be taught through lectures. Lecturers introduce the topics encouraging students' participation through questions and observations. In some cases / topics or when the teacher deems it appropriate, students will be asked to develop them first and make a presentation in class.

In each topic the presentation of contents is accompanied by the analysis and reasoning of the methods applied.

The practical part consists of problem solving (with and without software), analysis of financial market and corporate information, plus selected readings. Students are expected to participate actively by solving exercises and analyzing published information, especially financial websites. Problem solving in the classroom insists on the usage of software (especially spreadsheets).

The proposed teaching methodology may undergo some modifications according to the restrictions imposed by the health authorities on on-campus courses.

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the development of assignments, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution from the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated using such technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools have influenced the process and the final outcome of the assignment. The student must also be able to present their work publicly in an understandable manner and be able to adequately answer any questions posed about it. Lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a penalty in the assignment grade or more severe sanctions in serious cases.

This subject does not provide for the single assessment system

The evaluation of Finance I consists of a continuous evaluation process formed by three activities based on two different typologies.

The final exam weights 50% and the other two activities - exercises, essays, case studies, questionnaires, individual or group presentations, etc. - weight 25% each. If deemed appropriate, the lecturer may require other activities to complement the learning process.

The final grade of the subject is the weighted average of the marks earned in the three activities that constitute the continuous evaluation according to the weights quoted above.

If this weighted average is equal to or higher than 5.0, the student has passed the subject. The partial and final exams must have a minimum of 4 to be able to do a weighted average with the rest of the marks. Otherwise, it will involve going to the retake-exam of the whole contents of the subject (any modification of this requirement will be duly informed through the virtual campus (or similar) as it is understood to be the usual platform for the exchange of information between student and teacher

The retake-exam evaluates the whole contents of the subject in a new exam to be written following the rules of the Faculty of Economics and Business. To be able to participate in the recovery the student must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight equals to a minimum of two thirds of thetotalgrade of the subject. Students who repeat the subject will be assessed under the same conditions as the first registration students. Copying and plagiarism will result in a zero score in the corresponding test which can not be compensated in the final exam or in the recovery exam.

Exams taken are subject to review at the student's request. The professor will indicate the date of the exam review via the virtual campus (the usual communication platform) in the news and information section. To attend the review, the student must send an email to the course professor making the formal request

The qualification Honor Matriculation has, as necessary conditions, a mark equal to or greater than 9 and excellent performance throughout the course (including active and constructive participation in the classes). In case of more candidates than possible matriculations according to the UABregulations, the matriculations will be assigned by order of punctuation.

The dates for continuous assessment and submission of coursework will be published in class or on the virtual campus and may be subject to changes in scheduling in order to accommodate any incidents. These changes will always be announced either in class or on the virtual campus, as these are the usual platforms for exchanging information between teachers and students.

Activities graded as zero for copying or plagiarism cannot be retaken.

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