Teaching sessions are structure in theoretical and practical sessions:

• Theoretical sessions: the masterclass will be used to introduce the essential concepts with the support of different materials edited for that purpose (notes, sides and practical examples obtained from the manuals included in the bibliography) that will be accessible through PLATEA the UJA's teaching learning platform. 
• Practical sessions: proposed exercises related to the theoretical contents will be solved on the board and also using a statistical software (Statgraphics, SPSS and/or R). The list of proposed exercises that should be solve by the students and exposed in class to the rest of the students for further study.

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.

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

The evaluation procedure is based on:

• A written exam to solve practical exercises related to the contents of the course. It could include short questions or select-options questions to assess the comprehension level on basic concepts (weigth 75%).
• In-class tests to evaluate the skills obtained by the students in the practical sessions, where they have to solve some proposed exercises by using a statistical software (weight: 25%). The qualification obtained in this part during the term will be saved for extraordinary calls.
   

Remarks

• Participation in problem solving will be evaluated positively and will complete, if necessary, the final mark. This section may be used to qualify the final grade as long as it exceeds 4.5 and without exceeding the maximum mark.
• Students who do not take the theoretical-practical exam (75%) on the official date set by the centre to which the qualification is attached will be graded as No Show (No presentado).
• For face-to-face assessments, the use of any type of technological device (mobile phone, tablet...) is strictly forbidden, with the exception of the calculator.

1) Teaching methodology and training activities.

All activities will be 100% face-to-face or 50% face-to-face (with group rotation and videoconference broadcast to the rest of the group), depending on the number of students enrolling in the subject and the capacity of the classroom. If the number of students exceeds the capacity of the classroom or it does not have the technical systems required for broadcasting, all the students will take online lessons.

Groups with more than the limited number of students in the classroom.

2) Assesment system

  Groups with more than the limited number of students in the classroom

A student will be marked as "No presentado" (No show) if they do not take the final exam.

If the exam or some of the assessment tests could not be carried out face-to-face (synchronous), they will be carried out online (see the non-attendance scenario and the data protection clause included in this syllabus).

Remarks

• Students who do not take the theoretical-practical exam (75%) on the official date set by the centre to which the qualification is attached will be graded as No Show (No presentado).
• For face-to-face assessments, the use of any type of technological device (mobile phone, tablet...) is strictly forbidden, with the exception of the calculator.

3) Resources 
The following resources will be used: 
- Teaching classroom 
- Computer lab 
- Email 
- Intranet site. 
- Virtual whiteboard. 
- Google Meet tool 
- Google Forms tool 
- Virtual PC service provided by the University of Jaén.

1) Teaching methodology and training activities

Both theoretical and practical lessons will be adapted to the virtual format and will be preferably held by videoconference, at the scheduled time.

2)  Assesment

Ordinary and extraordinary call

To guarantee the reliability of this assessment system, the following measures will be taken:

If the number of students allows it, the continuous assessment tests on theoretical content may be carried out orally and individually.

• The exam will be divided into different parts and the response time of each one will be limited.
• The exam will be aimed at evaluating the ability to understand the contents, the correct application of techniques and the interpretation of solutions.
• While taking the continuous assessment tests and the exam, the students must be connected to a  Google Meet session, keeping the microphone and camera both open.
• The online evaluation tests may be recorded, in order to provide them with evidential content for revisions or claims, according to the data protection clause included in this syllabus.
• Due to the continuous nature of the computer tests, their mark may be kept for the Extraordinary Calls of this academic year. Nonetheless, those students who, for some justified reason, have not completed all the  continuous assessment activities can take a single global exam in which both the acquisition of knowledge and  the ability to apply it to practical situations will be assessed. 
• A student will be marked as "No presentado" (No show) if they do not take more the final exam.
