Abstract

The Economics and Business Administration School of the Complutense University of Madrid has launched during the 2009-2010 academic year the new degrees in Economics and in Business Administration. These degrees have adjusted to the new criteria established in the European High Education Area (EHEA) framework. A new characteristic is the student cumulative activities assessment opposite to the traditional way of assessment. Three Financial Accounting lecturers have designed and applied, in the first year degree, active teaching methodologies and its consequent evaluation. The results of this empirical experiment show it is not the optimal assessment method and suggests other alternative methodologies could suit best. All of this together motivates a continuous improvement in the university teaching process and a deep learning for the students.
