Detailed Description of Assessment Methods

The faculty team determines student grades by using a combination of assignments and final exam. The final exam (written) consists of essay questions, relating to class theory sessions and case studies discussions. It lasts approximately 1 hour.

In order to promote active participation to classes and to improve the quality of learning, students are asked to accompany their class participation with 2 group assignments and 2 individual assignment. Each assignment is estimated to require 1-day working time and evaluated by instructors thus becoming an integral part of the final individual evaluation.

Students’ evaluation is based on :

• individual written exam (open questions and short case discussion) [60%]
• overall group assignment evaluation [20%]
• overall individual assignment evaluation [20%]

The written exam includes focused open questions.

Textbooks

Slides, exercises, readings, case studies and other materials are provided during the course. Students need to refer to each specific session in the Learning Space (the course web site).
