Abstract

In 2004 the School of Economics and Business Administration at the National University of Córdoba opened an undergraduate pre-degree program, Small and Medium-Sized Business Administration and Economy. The first-year curriculum includes Statistics and Basic Informatics, which can complement each other in the teaching of their contents and in tests. Therefore, a test was written which makes possible the integration of both subjects. It is an Integrating Assignment which must be submitted after the theory and practical applications in both subjects have been learned. This test is published on the Educational Platform with a series of guidelines. The result of the experience was positive, since it fostered students’ learning and proved a collaborative form of work between the professors in both subjects.
