Evaluation methods
Competency assessment (20 points):
Completion of a case study on the assessment practices of professionals active in the field of competency assessment (i.e., recruitment, personnel assessment, mobility and careers). This case study is evaluated on the basis of the following elements
The evaluation of the "Competency Assessment" part is based on a weighted average of the elements described above.
Competency Development (20 points):
The evaluation will be done through an individual written examination with closed booklets composed of open-ended questions aimed at evaluating the knowledge and mastery of the different concepts, theoretical models and the application of these models.
All the modalities related to the certification evaluation are available on the course website on the Moodle platform
Final grade
The final grade (20 points) will be made up of the grade for the "Competency assessment" and the grade for the "Competency development" part. The final grade will consist of these two integrated parts. Successful completion of these two parts is essential to demonstrate the skills and knowledge defined in the learning outcomes of the teaching unit.
The success of the teaching unit can therefore only be obtained by passing each part of the course. Otherwise, a failing grade will automatically be awarded in place of the weighted average of the two assessments.
