-Approval Conditions: The assessment will consist of a mixed system of individual assessment by test and by preparation, presentation and discussion of research papers, in groups.
-Theoretical component: carrying out a theoretical test (40% for the final grade, with a minimum grade of 7), possibly also being replaced by a work.
-Practical component: realization of 3 works, distributed by:
Research reports: include a short individual research with class presentation, on topics relevant to energy markets (2x12.5% for the final grade);
Literature Review: A literature review report and presentation on a topic of choice relevant to the topic of Energy markets. (5% for the presentation and 25% for the report).
Attendance in classes and presentations: the presence and participation in classes and presentations of both the teacher and colleagues will be valued (5% towards the final grade).
Approval Conditions: The final grade of the discipline will be calculated by: NF=0.4*NT+0.6*NP or NF=NE
- Theoretical score (NT): the minimum test score is 7 values (without rounding), with a weight of 40%. In the case of a mixed situation, the NP will be as specified above.
- Final exam grade (NE) must be equal to or greater than 10 values.
- Practical grade (NP): calculated based on the completion of work with an average equal to or greater than 10 values with a weight of 60%.
