Description |
Case study |
Different learning materials will be used (cases, audiovisuals, readings); both in the classroom in order to complement theoretical and theoretical-practical teaching, and outside the classroom in order for students to prepare the group practical assignments that are subject to continuos evaluation and may deal with real organizations. |
Seminar |
Participation in all sessions of the course, including seminars, presentations of group practical assignments and guest lectures, is compulsory given that their contents can be subject to evaluation. |
Multiple-choice questions |
A test examination will be held, a multiple choice type where only one option is correct and incorrect answers entail a penalty. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
The fundamentals of the course will be explained in the classroom in theory-based sessions and utilizing audiovisual aids, guided discussions, cases and other interactive methodologies. |
Personalized attention |
|
Description |
Personalized attention (individual and small group tutoring) will be delivered via Teams, following an email/Moodle request.
Personalized attention will be provided in order to solve for specific questions about course contents, to recommend additional sources of information in order to enhance case preparation, and to follow up on the group practical assignments. Furthermore, the seminars may be used by students to discuss relevant questions individually, beyond collaborative learning.
The cases and other learning materials required to facilitate students' follow up of theoretical and interactive sessions and the course calendar will be detailed/uploaded in the virtual platform of the UDC whenever possible. Materials will be discussed in the classroom in an interactive way. Practical assignments will be assigned to student groups so that they are firstly presented in the classroom by the responsible group, and then discussed with all students attending the course. It is strongly recommended that all students prepare the materials in advance and participate in the session, sharing their individual questions and learning.
Furthermore it is strongly recommended that students utilize tutoring hours in order to solve their questions about the assignments that are subject to continuous evaluation in a personalized way. The main goal of the personalized attention consists of solving questions about preparation of team projects and case studies. |

Qualification
|
Case study |

The grade obtained in team projects will weight 30% of the final grade. All team members will get the same grade |

Seminar |
B9 C5 C6 C9 |
Attendance to all sessions is compulsory, including seminars and guest lectures. Individual participation in seminars, lectures and sessions (up to a maximum of 10% of the final grade) may be evaluated through control of attendance and/or participation, randomly or not, and/or through the development of specific supervised assignments. |

Multiple-choice questions |
A8 B10 |
A multiple-choice type of test exam, that may be administered via Campus Virtual in the classroom, where only one option is correct, will be taken. Wrong answers entail a penalty of one third of the value of correct ones. It is strictly necessary to pass the exam (with a grade equal or superior to 5,00 in a 0-10 grading system) in order to pass the course.
All materials and contents listed in the Virtual Campus and/or addressed in the classroom, both face-to-face and virtually, either through the lectures or in the interactive sessions (be them teaching case discussions, plenary or team-based, or seminars), including the discussion of individual assignments or in the presentation of group assignments, are subject to be asked about in the exam.
It is important that students prepare individually for the exam utilizing all materials available in the virtual platform (visual aids, individual and team readings and multimedia materials), plus the notes they took in the classroom, in order to better understand the real examples used to illustrate course contents and to develop their own critical thinking and professional criteria.
It is key that students complement these materials with the individual revision of suggested readings, in order to clarify any remaining question. |

Assessment comments |
The aforementioned evaluation criteria will apply to both the first and the second opportunity, including Erasmus and other exchange students.
2. ANTICIPATED CALL
Assessment conditions for the anticipated opportunity (Art. 19 of the "Normas de Avaliación, Revisión e Reclamacións
das Cualificacións dos Estudos de Grao e Mestrado Universitario") will be specific for that opportunity. It will be assessed through a multiple-choice questions type of exam that will be worth 100% of the final grade.
3. GRADE OF "NO PRESENTADO"
It corresponds to students who only participate in assessment activities that are worth under 20% of the final grade, regardless of their grade.
4. STUDENTS WHO ARE ACKNOWLEDGED WITH PART-TIME REGISTRATION AND " DISPENSA ACADÉMICA DE EXENCIÓN DE ASISTENCIA"
This possiblity is not contemplated.
5. OTHER ASSESSMENT COMMENTS
Those students who fail the multiple-choice exam will receive the exam grade as course grade in any of the opportunities.
The grade obtained by students from continuous evaluation, coming from their team projects (up to 30%) and attendance checks (up to 10%), will be valid only for the ongoing academic year.
Students who failed the course in prior academic years are not obliged to participate again in the team project. If they choose not to participate, the exam will be worth 90% of the final grade, with the remaining 10% coming from attendance.
It is forbidden to access the classroom with any device allowing for data transmission and/or warehousing when any of the evaluations is taking place (mobile phones, smart watches, etc.).
Fraudulent behavior in any of the methodologies subject to
assessment will result in the grade of "Fail (0)" in the final
assessment.

-Segundo se recolle nas distintas normativas de aplicación
para a docencia universitaria deberase incorporar a perspectiva de xénero nesta
materia (usarase linguaxe non sexista, utilizarase bibliografía de autores/as
de ambos sexos, propiciarase a intervención en clase de alumnos e alumnas...) -Traballarase para identificar e modificar prexuízos e actitudes
sexistas e influirase na contorna para modificalos e fomentar valores de
respecto e igualdade. -Deberanse detectar situacións de discriminación por razón
de xénero e proporanse acción e medidas para corrixilas. |
