According to the curriculum design of this MBA, the assessment of the student implies a close collaboration between the professors of each subject and the coordinator of the business plan.

The case study method requires the adequate application of problem-solving methodologies, the oral presentation of the results of the analysis, the ability to discuss and defend the criteria that support the analysis, and the search, filtering, selection, and consultation of sources of documentation that support the analysis.

The assessment criteria (case study 60%, problem solving 10%, and oral presentation 30%) will be used at the first opportunity.

On the second opportunity and extraordinary call, the student will have to submit an individual analysis of human resources on the official date of the call.

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance: students with recognition of part-time dedication will be assessed according to the following criteria at the first and second opportunities: case study (60%) and oral presentation (40%).

The fraudulent behaviour in any activity will directly imply a mark of 0 (fail) in the subject in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the offence is committed at the first or second opportunity, thus invalidating any qualification obtained in all the assessment activities for the extraordinary call.

No presentado grade: the student will only be graded as fail (no presentado) if he/she only participates in assessment activities that have a weighting of less than 20% of the final grade, regardless of the grade achieved.

Basic
	Because the analysis and search of documentary sources is one of the methodologies developed during the course and evaluated, the student (guided by the lecturer) will be the one who, depending on the problems he/she has to deal with, will look for the most appropriate documentary references. However, throughout the development of the course, the lecturer will suggest the sources that they should consult at any given time. Recommended bibliography: Dolan et al. (2022).
