Organization and methodology

Información general

The teaching is structured by semesters and, in general, the subjects are organized into face-to-face activities, directed work activities, and autonomous work activities.

The face-to-face sessions consist of the professor's presentation and debates with the students about the subject matter and the problems arising from its theoretical conception and practical application. Directed activities aim to develop activities by students, as well as reviewing them.

The Teaching Plan for each subject is the document that includes both the content, as well as the teaching and learning methodologies and evaluation systems. In general, the teaching methodologies employed in the degree include: lectures and expository classes, conferences, group work, written work, information research, case studies, practical exercises, application activities, problem-solving, project preparation, simulation, and external internships.

Evaluation

Exams for the 2024-25 academic year

Below, you will be able to access the exam calendar for the entire course, organized either by year/semester or grouped by exam date. The dates and location for exam reviews will be promptly announced on the Virtual Campus.

Evaluation system

The ordinary system of evaluation of the subjects is the continuous evaluation. This evaluative route consists of a series of activities and / or evaluable works throughout the semester, which can be concluded in a final synthesis test. This set of evaluable activities must allow to accredit the achievement of the objectives of the subject included in the teaching plan, both in terms of the competences to be acquired and the skills to be developed, as well as in terms of the theoretical or conceptual knowledge of the subject that the student must achieve and that must allow him to solve the activities applied in the practical aspect.

The student also has the possibility of taking the single assessment under the conditions set by the regulations of the University of Barcelona. The subjects have a single assessment call. But there is the possibility of re-evaluating a subject when it has not been passed initially (either through the continuous evaluation or through the single evaluation). The calendar of final tests (evaluation and re-evaluation) is approved by the Academic Council and published on the teaching website at the beginning of the academic year.

The syllabus of each subject contains all the information related to the evaluation system of each of the modalities.
