Class attendance is compulsory and therefore does not count to calculate the final grade. If attendance is not at least 85%, the student will not be entitled to the continuous assessment grade.

60% of the final mark corresponds to the final exam and the remaining 40% to the continuous assessment mark. A minimum mark of 5 out of 10 in the final exam will be necessary to pass the course and to incorporate the grade from the continuous assessment.

Continuous assessment will be graded on the basis of:

• Case studies solution
• Group projects
• Group presentations
• Evaluation controls
• Proposed exercises.
• Effective participation of the student in class.

The final exam will be a test.

Group projects, oral presentations, group assignments, evaluation tests and any others that could be relevant.

It is recommended a continuous study of the contents of the course, attending the classroom sessions, and doing the suggested readings and assignments BEFORE the face-to-face session in order to be able to solve the case studies and participate effectively in the discussion.

Only the final test of the course, which has a weight of 60% in the total grade of the course, will be eligible for recovery.

The same principles and criteria than in the first attempt apply.
