There is no mark for attendance (asistencia) as it is obligatory and therefore unnecessary to evaluate.  Many class activities are conducted in pairs and groups in the format of  problem solving with (or without) software, simulations, presentations, debates, project preparation,  etc. Students should check the PDU every week. During theoretical classes, where the lecturer explains concepts orally with technological support, students must also participate with questions. After theoretical classes, there follow up exercises and tasks to apply and students must practice new concepts. During these sessions, students can ask questions, clarify concepts and ask for additional bibliography. 

 

The assessment criteria consists on 'written exams', 'individual assignment', 'group assignment' and 'Group work activities (Business Lab ADE USJ)'.

 

-'Written exams' :

 

a) Written exam

b) Final exam

 

In order to pass 'Business Workshop II' students must achieve a score of 5 in all written exams ('written exam' and 'Final exam'). Students are tested in english. 

 

-'Individual assignment': Assignments will be given to students to reinforce the theory discussed in class. Students are expected to complete all independent study tasks. These tasks are suited to individual study.  Students should upload completed tasks onto the PDU before the deadline.

 

-Individual coursework (Class activities)

 

-'Group assignment. Integrated cases' refer to a grade awarded to all members of student groups after each presentation.  Classroom contribution refers to active participation in all classroom activities with classmates and the professor. This methodology enables maximum student participation and talking time in class (case study exercises). It also encourages cooperative learning and meaningful interaction between students and the development of professional competences.

 

Work handed in after the deadline will not be accepted. 

 

Subject materials are class notes,  books (basic  and recommended bibliography) and software.

-Group work activities (including Business Lab ADE USJ)

(a)       Teaching and Learning Methodologies and Activities

The main purpose of the Business Lab is to introduce students to the reality of business, from day one ( or from the start), providing them with the opportunity of working in a team and identifying problems, taking decisions, providing solutions and developing contingency plans for real problems.

These activities have the ultimate purpose of developing the social and technical abilities of the students, as well as improving  their performance and  creating a personal imprint that will provide them with a competitive advantage when faced with the work market.

The activities will be very varied, from the resolution of cases to visiting companies or attending seminars, always providing solutions to real problems.

The students will have to attend a number of activities, which will be planned in advance, and which will be developed through the term. All the activities will have a common theme.

The activities will be evaluated in the following way:

(1)         As an integrated activity of team work with the percentage established in the assessment of the subject.

(2)         With a mark of 0-0.75 given for the presentation and oral defence of the team´s conclusions to a panel of experts selected by Business Administration and only if the results are at least a “pass” (acceptable). This mark will be added to the mark of the final exam.

The presentation will take place in December.
