4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Lectures (M1, M3, M4, M5): Theoretical contents and related practical examples will be developed in these sessions.

  Seminars (M6, M7, M8, M10, M12, M13): 15 one-hour long classroom sessions will be devoted for solving problems, with special emphasis on applications to economics. Additionally, 15 one-hour long computer lab sessions will be devoted for solving problems by using the software Mathematica.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

1. Detail:

S1. ACTIVE ATTENDANCE: 0 points (0%):

S2. THEORETICAL CONCEPTS: 7.0 points (70%): Final written exam about the theoretical concepts and related exercises.

S3. CLASSROOM EXERCISES AND PROJECTS: 2.0 points (20%):

Realization of individual and/or group projects with oral presentation to the rest of the class (1 point).

Realization of classrom exercises (S3.2) proposed by the professor (1 point).

S4. COMPUTER LAB PRACTICES: 1.0 points (10%): Computer exam. Computer guidelines may be used in the exam. Learning results R11 and R13.

 

Marks from S3 and S4 will be maintained during the current academic year. Students who attend the final written exam (S2) and/or the computer exam (S4) will appear as 'SHOWN' in the grade list for the corresponding official exam call.

The final  grade will be the sum of the marks obtained from S2, S3, S4. This will be possible only when S2 has been passed.

For the English group the evaluation of S2 can be achieved during the course without the need of a a final exam.

Exceptionally and whenever it is accredited enough, the students could be evaluated taking into account items S2 and S4 only (with weight 80% and 20%, respectively).

The skills and learning results obtained in each evaluation aspect are related in the following way:

Skill CE7ADE: Aspects (S2) (S3) (S4)
Skill CE9ADE: Aspects (S3) (S4)
Skill G14ADE: Aspect (S3)
Skill G3ADE: Aspects (S2) (S3) (S4)
Learning Result R11: Aspects (S2) (S3) (S4)
Learning Result R12: Aspect (S3)
Learning Result R13: Aspect (S4)
Learning Result R14: Aspects (S2) (S3) (S4)
