Assessment

Basis of the contents worked on in the classroom during the face-to-face sessions and the study of the materials available to students, as well as the necessary consultations of the bibliography, each student will have to produce a document which answers the questions raised in the “Evaluation Case Study.”

This practical case study is approached as a situational exercise that integrates the main content of the module with a business vision pertaining to the organisational environment used as a context for the case. Thus, the answers prepared by the student provides evidence of learning in the three knowledge areas included in the module, each one representing a percentage of the final mark: Selection (35%), Welcome (30%) and Dismissal (35%).

Students who fail to reach the established criteria to pass the module and those who have been evaluated in a set of activities with a weighting of two-thirds of the total score for the module may retake it.

The minimum mark to retake the module is 3.5.
