Detailed Description of Assessment Methods
For attending students

The assessment method is consistent with the course emphasis on students' active participation and ongoing learning throughout the course.
Hence, students' evaluation is primarily based on the quality of their involvement, demonstrated in a number of ways and, to a lesser extent, on a written exam.
  • Regular class participation, quality of contribution during class discussion, paper and case study presentation: 40%.
  • Research project: 30%.
  • Final written exam: 30%.
The evaluation of the students' class participation, quality of contribution during class discussion, paper and case study presentation, as well as the evaluation of the research project, are valid for the three regular exam calls in the academic year.

For non attending students

Non attending students have to take a written exam, on the contents of the course textbook, in one of the official exam dates.
