Teaching methods
The course will be based on lectures, along with exercises/case studies that will be conducted in class and discussions/debates that will be facilitated by the Professor.
Evaluation methods
If the number of students who enrol in the course allows, an oral exam may be held. Otherwise, a written exam consisting of a MCQ part (for 15 out of 20 points) and a case study part (for 5 out of 20 points) will be preferred. For the MCQ part, no penalty points will be applied in the event of a wrong answer. Therefore, the student will have to correctly answer 20 of the 30 questions to obtain a score of 7.5/15 in this part.
The examination form will be specified during the 2nd week of the course. The information will then be available on Moodle.
