A temporary planning around 15 weeks is established to develop the 10 chapters of the course, which is organized around 3 parts. This facilitates the continuous work carried out by the students, as well as the permanent feed-back on their performance offered either by the professor or by other students enrolled in the course.
The course provides students with a set of tools that facilitate the achievement of the established learning outcomes in an online environment.
Each of the 10 chapters consists of several content modules, each of which includes a 5-10 minutes explanatory video or an easy-to handle teaching note prepared by the faculty, in which the fundamental learning elements are detailed.
Linked to each chapter the following tools and materials are presented:
Finally, once all three parts of the course have been completed, students will be required to perform on:
Based on the methodology described above, the training activities to be carried out, and their weight in hours, are detailed below. All of them (except the final exam, as required by University norms) take place in a virtual environment.
Formative Activity | Number of hours |
A01. Viewing videos and reading materials | 37 |
A02. Comprehension tests | 2 |
A03. Participation in discussion forums | 5 |
A04. Individual office hours | 1 |
A05. Individual study | 25 |
A06. Assessment exams and tests | 5 |
A07. Individual practical assignments | 38 |
A08. Peer evaluation activities | 10 |
A09. Synthesis activities | 12 |

TOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS | 150 |
Learning Outcome | Evaluation Activity | Weight (%) | Minimum average record required to be considered in the final mark | Recoverable |
R_DG_04 R_DG_05 R_DG_07 | Practice oriented individual assignments | 50% | 5/10 If you reach less than 5/10 points in one of these assignments, your score in that assigment won't be taken into account in your final grade; it will be as if you had get 0 points in that assignment. | No. The nature of most of these assignments require "in time" interaction among students. As a result, they are non recoverable. |
Face-to face final evaluation assessment (not online) | 20% | 4/10 You need 4/10 points in the final exam to consider it in your final mark. But, even if you do not reach these 4/10 points, you still may pass the course if your average score is 5/10 or more. If you want to improve the grade you get in this assessment you may retake it, in the recovery one. You will always get your best score. | Recoverable, by means of an exam. | |
Final Project | 30% | 5/10 | Recoverable by sending the corrected work according to indications and dates established by the professor |
The grade "No presentado" will be obtained when the weight of the evaluation activities in which the student has participated is less than 50%.
