The practical classes are participative, and will be taught through the resolution and correction of practical cases that will be proposed in each of the subjects during the course. Some of the practical classes will be carried out using a computerised (software) accounting tool.


The development of the methodology will take into account the attainment of the SDGs linked to the content of the course SDG 8, SDG 9, SDG 12 and SDG 17.

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

Regarding the evaluation system, the following clarifications need to be made:

  1. At the beginning of the course, the teaching staff will outline the activities related to the theoretical knowledge of the subject that will be developed throughout the semester, so that students can pass the theoretical part through continuous assessment.

  2. A student who passes the theoretical part as explained in the previous point will only need to complete the practical part of the final exam.

  3. FINAL EXAM (10 points). It consists of a theoretical part (4 points) and a practical part (6 points). To pass the exam, it is mandatory to obtain at least 30% of the score in each of the parts. In case of not reaching the minimum score in any of the parts, the grade that will appear in the records will be a maximum of 4.00.

  4. The evaluation system remains the same for both the regular first call and the extraordinary second call.

  5. Students who do not attend the final exam will not use up a call and will be listed in the records with the grade of "Not Present." However, students who do not attend any of the official calls will use up one call, even if they do not attend either of the two official calls.
