Evaluation system

The grade of each student will be calculated following the following percentages:

A1. Classroom exercises: Dynamics and leadership activities 25%

A2. Group work: Incentive, remuneration and benefits plan 30%

A3. Final exam: 45%

Final grade = A1 0,25 + A2 0,30 + A3 0,45

 

Considerations:

  • You must obtain a grade higher than 5 in the final exam to pass the subject.
  • An activity not delivered or delivered late and without justification (court summons or medical matter) counts as a 0.
  • It is the student's responsibility to avoid plagiarism in all its forms. In the case of detecting plagiarism, regardless of its extent, in some activity it will correspond to having a grade of 0. In addition, the professor will communicate the situation to the Department Management so that applicable measures can be taken in terms of disciplinary regime.

Recovery:

  • It is necessary to obtain a mark superior to 5 in the final exam of recovery to pass the asignatura.
  • The mark of the resit exam will be applied only to the mark of the A3.
