ASSESSMENT

Assessment criteria

Assessment for this course is as follows:

1) Final written exam (30% of the final mark for the course)
2) Group project (30% of the final mark for the course)
3) Mid-term exam (20% of the final mark for the course) - this exam does not free up material from the final exam
4) Class participation (lectures and participatory sessions) plus assigments on case studies analysed in class (20% of the final mark for the course).

1) Final exam: (30%) Students will sit the final exam after finalising all the sessions. The exam will consist of multiple-choice questions on all the course material. Students' marks on this exam will represent 30% of their final marks for the class. The exam will be based on the issues addressed in class and in the required readings.

2) Group project: (30%) This project will be carried out in groups of six or seven students based on their choice of possible topics related to the course content and which they want to explore further. The project will have a conceptual foundation and a practical component. Fundamentally, the aim is to give the group an opportunity to relate the conceptual component with organisational reality, encouraging students to actively seek out information, reflect, analyse and extrapolate. Students¿ marks are individual, though they will complete and present this assignment as a team.

3) Mid-term exam (20%) Students will sit this exam mid-way through the course on the topics seen until that time. Students' marks will not exclude the correspoing material in the final exam.

4) Participation in participatory sessions and attendance during lectures plus assigments on case studies analysed in class (20% of the final mark for the course). Students will be assessed individually using the following criteria:
- Frequency and quality of their interventions
- Prior preparation of the topics addressed
- A proactive attitude and their contribution to group dynamics.
- Fulfilling requirements for the case study analyses

Students will be assessed as follows during the participatory sessions:
Assessment points
Students actively take part in discussions, making constructive contributions without trying to monopolise debates.
They demonstrate a solid knowledge of the readings, identifying the key ideas and relating them to the course's theoretical content.
They are well prepared for the case studies/written assignments, carrying them out when requested and effectively resolving the questions raised and providing well-reasoned arguments.
OVERALL CLASS PARTICIPATION MARK
ALWAYS (A): 10
OFTEN (O): 7.5
SPORADICALLY (S): 5
NEVER (N): 0


IMPORTANT: Students will be able to pass this course if they obtain a passing mark on the final exam and the group project.

If they pass both these components, their marks will be weighted with those of the other components (case studies, class participation and attendance, and the mid-term exam) to obtain their final marks.

Procedure:
1. Students will receive the list of the group to which they belong in the participatory session.
2. The faculty guiding the group will coincide with the faculty for the participatory sessions.
3. Each group will define the topic it wants to address, as well as the focus and methodology.
4. A deadline will be set for the group project script. Faculty will take into consideration the ongoing work carried out when evaluating the projects. (Students will receive a document detailing the criteria to use when carrying out their projects and how the latter will be assessed.)
