3.COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course contained in this guide can be considered basic or primary because chronologically it is
often established as the first specific subject of finance. The financial calculus developed in this
subject and the concepts and operation of corporate finance are essential for progress in further
study of corporate finance.
It contains basic concepts such as capitalization and discount operations, calculation of yields and
the cost of financial sources of the company. It is an essential course for the development of other
subjects such as financial management and financial instruments.

professional manner and should have the skills that are usually demonstrated by compiling
and defending arguments and resolving problems within their area of study.

Educational DEFINITION
Activity
Independent Work Educational activity whereby students independently manage their own
(EA0) learning by the study of the course material.
Seminar Educational activity focused especially on the competence of the students to
(EA2) develop the learning skills enabling them to assimilate content acquired
beforehand, while relating economic concepts and those of similar and/or
auxiliary disciplines and different theoretical and methodological approaches.
Students study each subject in depth to a large extent independently. This
educational activity is also centered on encouraging students to acquire the
skills necessary to communicate their conclusions – and the understanding
and underlying reasons supporting them – to both the specialist and non-
specialist public clearly and unequivocally. Priority is given to the participation
of students and their sharing of the reasoned interpretation of knowledge and
the sources of their fields of study, all of which is coordinated by the
professor.
Practical Workshop Educational activity focused especially on the competence of the students to
(EA3) use specific methodologies for resolving problems of a practical nature
encountered by economists in their most applied aspects and/or the
information technology tools relevant to each subject. Priority is placed on
students undertaking practical activities focused on data manipulation and
selection of quantitative and/or qualitative information for purposes of
extracting/drawing relevant conclusions.
Practice Educational activity focused especially on the competence of the students to
(EA4) collect, manipulate and process relevant data and variables for economic,
statistical, financial, accounting and tax analyses. Priority is placed on
students undertaking activities that involve the application of theoretical
and/or technical knowledge acquired, which may be done individually or in a
group, depending on the subject and the skills to be acquired.
6. ASSESMENT OF LEARNING
1.- CLASS ATTENDANCE:
• In order to be eligible for examination by continuous assessment students must attend at
least 75% of scheduled class time (attendance sheets will be used). As students may be
absent 25% of the classes, no attenuating circumstances will be accepted for absences.
• Students that may not meet the minimum percentage of assistance of the course must
have justified reason to do son and it has to be notified to the lecturer at the beginning of
the course. In this case, the lecturer will establish an adequate planning for the student to
pass the course. If this communication is not done in due time and manner, will be
evaluated on the same criteria as the ones attending to class.
2.- ASSESMENT SYSTEM AND CRITERIA:
ASSESMENT CRITERIA
5Course Description / Academic year 2020-2021
Code Name Percentage
AS4 Written or computer-based examination on exercises, problems, cases, 50%
and so forth.
AS9 Submission of exercises. 30%
AS3 Written examination on reasoning questions. 20%
ORDINARY EVALUATION:
Continued evaluation includes:
• Tests and practical cases (20%): Specific tests of evaluation of the knowledge
acquired by the student throughout the course, which may be specified in short
questions about the theory taught and/or exercises or practical cases that can be
done manually or using spreadsheets
• Workshop and Assignments (30%): It includes the participation of the students
through readings, elaboration and presentation of practical cases, with Excel
computer simulations, APPs or Bloomberg.
• Final Exam (50%): consists of a written examination of theoretical-practical questions,
which may be analysis and development of cases, or even test type with the contents
discussed in class and officially included in the program.
In order to pass the subject, the student has
• to obtain at least 4,5 points (in sum) in the final exam and
• to obtain, at least, 5 points by summing all tests.
Once the calendar of activities or in-class tests (exams, practices, exercises, assignments,
presentations, etc.) has been set up in advance, in order to guarantee equality of conditions for all
students, these tests will not be repeated for the students that they did not attend classes, except
causes of force majeure.
EXTRAORDINARY EVALUATION
• Any student, who does not pass the Ordinary Evaluation, has to sit the final exam in
