Four tasks - 20%
Requisits mínims per aprovar:

Tutoria
Students have some tutorial hours where they can go over lesson points with their lecturer in a face-to-face context. To have a tutorial session, students must book a time slot by means of the BOOKEO app.
For a good use of these tutorial sessions, students should go well-prepared in advance with queries and questions. Tutorials should not be regarded as private lessons aimed at catching up for classroom absences.
Tutorials can be on site or on line, on request.
Comunicacio i interacció amb l'estudiantat
The most common communication method outside the classroom is the mail of our virtual campus or the school’s gmail.
Lecturers can give feedback on submitted tasks by means of the COMMENTS box of the evaluated task entry of our campus.
In the case of implementing an online teaching system, we may also make use of other tools such as the forum of our virtual campus, meetings with MEET or chats with HANGOUTS.
Modificació del disseny
Modificació de les activitats:
Activities will be the same if lessons have to be held on line because of another hypothetical lockdown situation. In that case, the amount of hours counted in the face-to-face modality will be reverted to hours with a virtual teacher.
Modificació de l'avaluació:
Evaluation tasks will be maintained. The only thing that will differ is that exams will be held online through Google forms. If that happens, exams will be administered by means of different google forms, and timings will be tightened to avoid possible cheating.

Tutorials will be held on site or on line on request.
