• Outings linked to knowledge of the sector: visits to companies, destinations, and cultural field trips.

ASSESSMENT

You can choose between two types of assessment:

• Continuous assessment: consists of the assessment of the teaching-learning process through constant monitoring of the work done by the student and the learning he/she incorporates throughout the year.

• Single assessment: aimed at all those students who, for justified reasons, cannot regularly attend face-to-face classes. We assess the students' learning process, taking into account the assignments designed for this purpose, which can be carried out during the semester or at the end of it, as specified in each case.
