Teaching Methods

The assessment methodology consists of the application of theoretical and conceptual instruments through
the completion of exercises or the discussion of practical case studies. These activities are carried out
during class time in randomly constituted groups of 2 to 3 students and carry equal weighting in the final
grade.
Students who, for professional or other duly justified reasons, are unable to attend class for the completion
of the activities will have the opportunity to undertake an equivalent individual activity by a specified time
on the immediately following day, and should contact the lecturer in due time by email for this purpose.
