Evaluation methods
On-going evaluation throughout the 6 weeks, with final hand-in, at the end of the 6-week period, of a final written report related to the group project completed by students (4 to 5 people per group). The oral presentation of the final report takes place during the last course session.
The final grade obtained by the student is based on two elements:
- the ongoing evaluation of the process implemented to provide a solution to the marketing problem faced by the chosen company (50% of the final grade)
- the final written report and the oral presentation in group, organized during the last course session, as well as the individual report completed by each student and related to the group project (50% of the final grade).
In case of registration to the second exam session, the student will be asked to complete a written add-on report, on the basis of the same marketing problem, and to defend it orally. The grade linked to the ongoing evaluation of the process (50% of the final grade) cannot be improved.
