14 Place of the course in the curriculum The Civil Law is the area of civil law that regulates all relations that have an economic background and consider the person in reference to his property, so that their bases are embedded within the economic system, the initiative of individuals and the free market. In this sense, the course Fundamentals of Civil Law focuses on the study of the rules governing the obligations and contracts, to the extent that these rules articulate the legal exchange of goods and services with economic significance. This corresponds well with basic training necessary for the student to understand other subjects of the degree, if Fundamentals of Commercial Law, its natural continuation, and taught later. Hence, the students have achieved a solid legal training that help you understand the legal operations affecting the Company and transfer that training to management and company management in civil society. Objectives The course aims to provide students of the Bachelor Degree in Economics from the legal tools necessary for understanding the practical everyday problems in their own obligations and contracts, which focused on their training, have allowed precise legal means face-to-be future professionals in economics. Given the role of the jurist and the aims of the future graduate, the basic objectives of any course of civil law must ensure that students reach a reasonable level of knowledge for the scope of this discipline, and proper use of such knowledge in the solution practical problems. In this sense, the theory class is useful as a guide for the student to the study of the subject, as a means to explain the fundamental concepts, to clarify the more complex issues or to highlight the most important issues. As for the practical classes, should serve to make clear the close relationship in law between theory and practice to acquire the necessary critical sense that allows you to assess the various situations of legal court in this site are usually presented. Program LESSON 1. - CONCEPT AND SYSTEMATICS OF CIVIL LAW. LESSON 2. - CONCEPT, STRUCTURE AND SOURCES OF OBLIGATIONS. LESSON 3. - TYPES OF OBLIGATIONS AND COMPLIANCE. LESSON 4. - PERFORMANCE AND TERMINATION OF LIABILITY. LESSON 5. - CONCEPT AND COMPONENTS OF CONTRACT. LESSON 6. - CLASSIFICATION AND BIOLOGY OF CONTRACTS. LESSON 7. - EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTRACTS AND INEFFECTIVE. Competences and Habilities SPECIFIC - The course aims to provide legal rationality in the analysis and description of any aspect of economic reality (C.3). - The course assesses the consequences of various courses of action from the point of view of civil law and economics applied to select the best targets taking into account the distributional implications (C.4). - Finally, the course allows the issuance of reports based on law advice on specific situations of the economy (international, national or regional) or sectors and companies in the same (C.5). 14

15 TRANSVERSE - The subject achieves self-learning ability. The economic logic with its emphasis on legal structure of models and variables allows the student the independent analysis of new economic realities. For this reason, the student will be able to access independently scientific literature that will enable future economic order issues which have to face (C.23). - The subject can reach levels of sensitivity to environmental issues, social and gender within the framework of the defense of human rights. The economy is ultimately a science that studies processes of choice between alternative uses, and provides criteria for making that choice satisfactory from the point of view of the resources used in it. For this reason, economic decisions have huge implications legal, social, environmental and gender. Therefore students are trained to understand these implications and always bear in mind in their analysis the defense of human rights (C.28). Methodologies In relation to the subject and its location within the training module was developed with the following contents: - The classes allow exposing the theoretical content of the different lessons that make up the program, following one or two reference Textbooks that reflect the rationale for the topics and skills related to those provided. - The practical classes are linked to the consequent understanding of concepts by students so that they will develop the solution of problems in the classroom. After class, the professor proposed to students carrying out work on theory and personal problems, for whose implementation will be supported by the teacher in supervised workshops. In these seminars students can share with their peers and the teacher are doubts, get solutions to them and start playing for themselves the powers of matter.

Evaluation criteria Three written quizzes, around weeks 5, 9 and 13 depending on the development of the course -. In some practical sessions a final part could be devoted to the resolution of some exercise to be handed in for evaluation.
