Teaching Procedures
A. Continuous assessment (In the case of a mark less than 10 in “work in classroom” or “group essay with presentation”, the candidate will be required to go to examination in the Época Normal (Resits).
A. 1. Work in Classroom (70%) – Resolution and presentation of case studies and exercises (only the students that present the case studies and exercises in the scheduled classes will be evaluated; the work sent by e-mail or other means or presented in other non-scheduled classes is not considered)
A.2. Oral presentation of Final Group Essay (30%): Students will be part of a team that will be responsible for an oral presentation of one final group essay to the class. The oral presentation will be limited to 15 minutes followed by a 10 minutes (maximum) questions and answers session. The presentation should focus on student findings and recommendations (it should be a professional presentation completed with appropriate visual aids) and it should be a unified piece of work and not a collection of several independent parts.
A complete copy of all handouts and computer slides/information used in the presentation should be handed to the teacher.
Only the students that present the group essay in the scheduled classes will be evaluated; the work sent by e-mail or other means or presented in other non-scheduled classes is not considered.
B. Resit (for those students who fail in continuous assessment): Individual Written Exam (to be approved, 10 values is the minimum mark).
