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%).
Unique assessment
Article 265. Avaluació única
2. La sol·licitud d’avaluació única suposa la renúncia a l’avaluació continuada, i implica el lliurament en una única data del nombre necessari d’evidències avaluadores per acreditar i garantir la consecució dels objectius i els resultats d’aprenentatge establerts en l’assignatura.
The single evaluation does not imply non-attendance to the face-to-face sessions. During the face-to-face sessions, activities that are necessary to satisfactorily complete the evaluation evidences can be carried out.
Students who choose the single evaluation option will present, once the module is finished, the same evidences foreseen for the continuous evaluation modality.
The same resit system as the continuous assessment will be applied.
Retakes
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.
