Teaching methods

A range of pedagogical methods will be deployed, from the ex-cathedra course to more participatory methods (e.g., serious game, group discussion, etc.) and formative (self-)assessments.

Evaluation methods

The assessment for LPSP1204 - Work and Organizational Psychology will be conducted via a written exam, using a multiple response questionnaire (MRQ). Each question will be accompanied by several answer options of which 0, 1, or several (or even all) may be correct. 1 point will be given if all correct options are chosen and no incorrect options are chosen. No points will be given if no answer is provided, or if all the correct options are not chosen, or if one or more incorrect options are chosen. The 1st and 2nd session exams will have the same content, format and scoring.
