Methodology

The course is divided into 3 main blocks (Strategy, Management skill and Marketing) 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 THREE separate blocks:

Block A: Strategy and Canvas
Block B: Management skills
Block C: Marketing

Each block has a múltiple choice theory test.

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

The mark of each block is calculated as follows:

If Mark_ExBlock>5

Mark Block= 80% · Mark_ExBlock + 20% ·(Attendance and particpation)
Or

Mark Block= mark_ExBlock

The final mark of the subject is calculated as follows:

If Mark_Blocks>5

Final mark = 30% Block A mark +40% Block B mark + 30% Block C mark

Or

Final mark = 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.

Evaluation Criteria

- Attendance is obligatory
- If the Student fails to submit coursework, this will be considered as an absence.
