It is necessary for the students to carry out the different campaigns that are requested in the subject.
Each working group will be responsible of the overall management of all parts of these campaigns including budget creation, design, optimization and management.

 

To pass the subject, it is necessary that the final exam (SE4) has a grade equal to or higher than 50 out of 100.
Group work is NOT recoverable; since the different and independent campaigns will allow the student to see if she is doing it correctly or not.

 

  • Activities/Works:

- The cases (individual and group) will be submitted via moodle with a deadline usually of 9am on the designated date (check each time limit on the moodle itself). The date of each task is marked in the Schedule and will be discussed in the first class of the subject. If there is any confusion between the schedule and moodle delivery dates, the moodle one always prevails.

- Submissions via e-mail or other means other than the moodle assignment will not be accepted.

- Tasks handed in beyond the final date and up to 24 hours later will have 1 penalty point on the grade. No assignment will be accepted beyond 24 hours, and results in a zero to the assignment under any circumstances.

- In the case of repeat students: The grade of an assignment is maintained only if it is higher than 7 out of 10, and only in one call. If these requirements are not met, the student must do the group work like the rest of the students.
Under no circumstances can work be performed individually or an improvement made on previous deliveries (work will be assessed from scratch like any other work)

- Group work cannot be done individually under any circumstances.

  • Exams:

- The exams are face-to-face and under no circumstances can they be taken online.

- The recovery exam not more recovers the mark of the exam of first call.

- A student who has not appeared in the first call CANNOT appear in the recovery.

  • Miscellaneous:

- Any condition that entails the suspension of the subject, is direct and without the possibility of recovery.
These assumptions are indicated directly in the related subjects (group work, rules of conduct, etc.)
