The instructor, for their part, commits to keeping the course content related to the practical component of the course up to date (the case study and data used will be updated to the most current information possible, and, when deemed appropriate, entirely new case studies will be developed).

Furthermore, all students are advised to:

• Respect for an appropriate learning and study environment in order to effectively and efficiently benefit from the theoretical and practical content that the professor makes available throughout the course
• Attend individual tutoring sessions, as this is a proven method of learning support that is highly useful and beneficial, especially in cases where students encounter greater difficulties in understanding the course content.

In this course, attendance will be taken at the beginning of each session for purely statistical purposes. Attendance is not mandatory, though it is strongly recommended. Punctuality at the start of classes is required so that sessions can proceed with as little disruption as possible. Since attendance at sessions is not mandatory, students are required to show absolute respect for the faculty and fellow students (otherwise, they will be asked to leave the classroom).

Throughout the course, several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be addressed or utilized, specifically those related to decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation, and infrastructure.

Likewise, a gender perspective will be incorporated into the development of the sessions, and various soft skills will be addressed, such as critical thinking, teamwork, a growth mindset, data analysis, professionalism, responsibility, professional ethics.
