|---|---|
| FRONT LESSONS AND TUTORIALS. THEORETICAL LESSONS ARE SUPPORTED BY GRAPHIC EXPLANATIONS AND BASIC MATHEMATICS REFERENCES THAT CAN SIMPLIFY THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOST COMPLEX CONCEPTS. THE ECONOMIC CONCEPTS ARE PRESENTED BY OPENING DISCUSSIONS WITH THE STUDENTS IN ORDER TO MAKE BOTH THE ECONOMIC TERMINOLOGY AND THE ECONOMIC REASONING CLEAR. PARTICULAR EMPHASIS IS GIVEN TO THE ECONOMICS INTENDED AS A DECISION-MAKING METHOD FOR THE MICROECONOMICS AND CRITICAL-EVALUATION PART IN TERMS OF RESOLUTION OF PROBLEMS SUCH AS UNEMPLOYMENT, INFLATION AND GROWTH FOR THE MACROECONOMIC ASPECT. THE TUTORIALS INCLUDE BOTH RESOLUTIONS OF EXERCISES IN WHICH THE TECHNIQUES PRESENTED IN THE THEORETICAL LESSONS ARE USED AND THE GRAPHICAL RESOLUTION OF MACROECONOMIC PROBLEMS THROUGH THE USE OF MONETARY AND FISCAL POLICIES. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| WRITTEN VERIFICATION TEST WITH ORAL EXAM INTEGRATION. THE FINAL EXAMINATION HAS THE PURPOSE OF CHECKING THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED DURING THE HOURS OF LESSON AND EXERCISE AND AUTONOMOUSLY FROM STUDYING THE SUGGESTED TEXTBOOKS. THE WRITTEN TEST IS COMPOSED OF QUESTIONS WITH MULTIPLE ANSWERS AND EXERCISES ON THE TOPICS OF MICROECONOMICS AND MACROECONOMICS. |
