The course is divided into 2 main blocks (Strategy Management and Management skills) and each block has its respective classes in which the theoretical content is taught and then put into practice in some of the group sessions. A detailed description of how the subject is assessed is provided below.
The classes are taught by professors who are fully integrated in the business world which enables them to complement the theoretical content with real-life cases from their own experiences.

Evaluation

The duration of the course is one semestre. Students are evaluated according to the following criteria:
The subject is divided into TWO separate blocks:

Block A: Strategy and Canvas
Block B: Management skills

Each block has a múltiple choice theory test, group assignments and written exam

Students must pass each block separately with a mark or 5.0 or above.

The mark of each block is calculated as follows:

Block A1 grade = 60% Group grade + 40% Individual grade
Group Work = Group grade
Examination grade = Individual grade
1 Both the Group Note and the Individual Note must be greater than or equal to 5.

The grade in Block B1 is calculated as follows:
Block B grade = 60% Participation Grade + 40% Examination Grade
1 Both the Participation grade and the Examination Grade must be greater than or equal to 5.

The Final grade of the OM part is calculated:

If,

Note_Blocks (A) (B)> 5

Final grade = 50% Block A Note + 50% Block B Note

If not, them:

Final grade = 3

If the Student does not pass one of the blocks, s/he can take the exam again in the re-take session. In this case, the final mark will be the mark of the exam taken in the re-take session. Each block can be re-taken separately.
