This course aims to deepen the basics of the scientific method and provide students with the basic tools to work to design and execute a research project. On the other hand, improve your skills to use a series of instruments and tools that allow you to manage the different steps of the research process more efficiently and communicate your results more effectively: research tools and information management ; word processing and editing; organization and data processing; and presentation and communication of results.
Also, knowing and mastering the characteristics of the scientific method is of crucial importance in the business world: setting questions, carefully observing reality through the collection of data and verifiable facts, formulating and contrasting hypotheses, drawing conclusions and reformulating the problems and questions we ask ourselves is fundamental to the functioning of markets, companies, and organizations.
This subject has the following specific objectives:
Turn an empirical problem into a research object and draw conclusions.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION (70%)
Unable to recover
It does not have a minimum per block, but overall (ie, the average of the continuous assessment of the course) must be higher than 5. If the mark of the continuous assessment is lower than 5, the student must repeat the course. Therefore, passing the continuous assessment is a necessary (not sufficient) condition to pass the subject.
FINAL EXAMINATION (30%)
Blocks I, II and III incorporate 1 exam that counts 10% each in the final grade. The average mark of the 3 exams will be the mark of the global exam and has a weight of 30%.
Therefore, to pass the course it will be necessary to obtain an average of 5 out of 10, or higher, both in the continuous assessment and in the global exam.
RECOVERY
Students who take the exam: (i) if they do not score 4 out of 10 points, in one or more parts of the exam or (ii) if the mark of the exam is less than 5 out of 10 points (in this case students must retake the exam as a whole). Continuous assessment cannot be recovered.
Under no circumstances may students receive help from third parties for any course evaluation activity; and in case of occurrence the student will lose all the right to continue with the evaluations that remain of the asignatura. In case of not understanding of the resolution any activity of the evaluation, will be able to quote to the student later and realize him an oral examination on that one the activity of evaluation. Those issues that cannot be justified can be penalized in the final grade.
