Corroboration / validation of the discipline content according to the expectations of the epistemic community representatives, of the ones of the professional associations and also of the representative employers of the corresponding program. In any economic field there are required minimal skills to present and describe the most important characteristics of some specific conflict situations. In this context, Logic is the course which provides the students the tools for reasoning real situations. Therefore, it is a course of vital importance for the professional development of any undergraduate in any economic field. 10. Evaluation Type of activity 10.1 Evaluation criteria 10.2 Methods of assessment 10.4 Course The degree by which the students correctly acquired the concepts, notions and tools of logic Written exam 10.3 Share in final grade 50% The student must approach 4-5 1 The ability to use the concepts, notions and tools of logic in economy (i.e. practical problems, real life situations, etc.). subjects from all important part of the course. The student also must present a set of problems/ reports given by the professor Presence and active participation will be taken into account. 10.5 The degree by which the students correctly Seminar/laborator acquired the concepts, notions and tools of y logic The ability to use the concepts, notions and . tools of logic in economic applications (i.e. practical problems, real life situations, etc.). 10.6 Minimum standard of performance The ability to use logical reasoning to solve practical problems from a large variety of fields.
