Before the start of the session, students must complete the preparatory tasks on their own, in this case reading or viewing the academic material recommended by the teacher.

Classes are divided into two blocks:
o Theory block:
The teacher teaches the concepts and tools related to the session's topic.
o Practice block:
Students apply and develop the concepts and tools through
practical exercises, as well as through group work on the
subject, which deals with the development of a Digital Marketing Plan.

Evaluation

Final examination: 40%
Group work: 60%

Evaluation Criteria

Final exam: 40%. At the beginning of session 9, there will be a multiple-choice exam covering questions about the previous sessions. It will consist of 20 questions to be answered in 40 minutes.
Each question is worth 0.5 points. Incorrect answers will deduct 0.2 points. It is a prerequisite for passing the course to take this final exam. The lecturer
will discuss the exam questions in session 10, after all students have submitted their projects. With a mark of 5 or higher in the final exam, the average is calculated together with the rest of the assessment systems to determine the mark for the course.

Use of AI tools:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) can aid in the learning process, but we must
use it appropriately. Students who choose to use AI in their work
must include a paragraph at the end of the assignment or activity in which they have used this
tool, explaining why they decided to use it and the results obtained with it. Failure to include this information will be considered an attempt at fraud or cheating, as it deceives the Assessment System. In such cases, the penalties set out in the
Salle Campus Barcelona Plagiarism Regulations (https://www.salleurl.edu/en/copiesregulation) will be applied.
Bibliography
With a mark lower than 4 in the final exam, the course is failed without the possibility
of calculating the average together with the rest of the assessment systems. The final exam mark in the extraordinary exam session will not be higher than 7/10.
Group work: 60% (20% for the pre-submission and 40% for the rest of the project). The group work must be deposited in the Study drop box on the date indicated by the professor (length ? 50 pages), which will be days before the last session. Once the deadline has passed and the drop box has been closed, students who have not deposited their work will fail the course,as it is an essential requirement for passing to hand in and present the group work.
The lecturer will give feedback on each piece of work during the question and answer session after
