The evaluation of the subject will be based on the results obtained by the company throughout the semester. Part of the evaluation is common to all team members, depending on the business results achieved; and another is individual based on the results of the functional area for which each student is responsible, and the results of the evaluation of activity 5 (Exam). Activities related to the areas of knowledge will be proposed: strategy, purchasing and suppliers, manufacturing, sales and marketing, R & D & I. Each of these areas will be the responsibility of a student in the work team. The weight of each of the activities in the final evaluation of the subject is indicated below.

ACTIVITY 1: Practical Activity 1 (20%)

ACTIVITY 2: Practical Activity 2 (20%)

ACTIVITY 3: Practical Activity 3 (20%)

ACTIVITY 4: Practical Activity 4 (20%)

ACTIVITY 5: Exam (20%)

Attendance at class sessions and the delivery of the corresponding reports of the activities developed is a necessary condition for the evaluation of the subject.

The first 4 activities of the subject make up a general project, so that each activity, if necessary, can be recovered by performing the next, from the feedback received from its correction.

For activities 1 to 4, if the result of their evaluation is not satisfactory, or the teachers consider it opportune, they will be able to summon the members of the group to carry out an individualized evaluation test.

Any undelivered activity is graded with a NP. Failure to attend a session automatically excludes the corresponding activity from the evaluation, being considered qualified with a NP.

If any of the activities is graded with a NP, the subject remains graded with a NP, which does not allow access to the recovery call. Only suspended activities can be recovered.
