Assessment criteria

NO FINAL EXAM

Class Evaluation will be graded attending two criteria:

1) Active individual participation, representing up to 50% of the total grade

-Attendance:

--Mandatory presential attendance. In order to opt to a 10 in this 50% of the final grade, participants will not be able to miss any session (excepting major causes justified by the professors, to whom students should directly address to obtain the exemption certificate mail from Program Management).
--A minimum class presential attendance of 8/10 sessions are required to opt to pass the course.
--Anyway, if you cannot come to class for a justified reason, please contact the professor with a minimum of 2 days in advance.

-Class participation:

--The quality of what is said and the quality of one's listening and responsiveness to others are important components for the evaluation of class participation.
(i) Random cold calls questions could be thrown
(ii) Should you be identified as having unprofessional behavior in one of the sessions, you will immediately fail the course and you will not be allowed to participate in the remaining sessions.

--Grading class participation is necessarily subjective. However, we try to make it as "objective as possible". Some of the criteria for evaluating effective class participation include:
(i) Is the participant prepared? Do comments show evidence of analysis of the case/challenge? Do comments add to our understanding of the situation? Does the participant go beyond simple/repetition of basic facts without analysis and conclusions? Do comments show an understanding of theories, concepts, and analytical devices presented in class lectures or reading materials?
(ii) Is the participant a good listener? Are the points made relevant to the discussion? Are they linked to the comments of others? Is the participant willing to interact with other class members?
(iii) Is the participant an effective communicator? Are concepts presented in a concise and convincing way?


2) Final Take-Away Report: 1-2-page paper (Learning Journal style) over topics and notions delivered throughout all classes. Representing up to 50% of the total grade:

-General information: The report must be done in pairs but submitted by only one student of each pair.

-The deadline of the learning journal will be two weeks after our last class (check the moodle for the exact date).

-Tips:
--Add references to movies / readings / challenges from different sessions. Include a superscript to indicate in which session it was mentioned.
--Connect ideas from different sessions. Instead of structuring each paragraph by session, it is better to structure it by concepts / ideas learned in all sessions.
--Try to deliver an interesting storytelling flow.
--Create an impact. The design of your learning journal has not limits. The best one in 2020 was made as a Whatsapp Conversation style design.
--Use bolds/colors to highlight key messages.

-Formal aspects:
--Line Spacing: 1,5
--Font: Calibri 11
--Minimum Length: 1 Din-A4 page
--Maximum Length: 2 Din-A4 pages
--Please, safe the document as "DSC - [Name of student A] - [Name of student B]"

If you want to make your Learning Journal in a different format than a Word Report (or if it is different from the formal requirements proposed), please notify Arthur, Moisès and Xavi to confirm you if your design format proposal is allowed.

If you don't pass the course, you will be able to face a final retake project to recover the grading of the Learning Journal part.
