Méthodes pédagogiques

Mode d'évaluation
- Management Course: Weekly individual multiple choice questions & group assignment (in groups of 6 students). Assessments in the June and August sessions may differ from those in the January session. Specific instructions will be posted on the online course (Moodle).
- Marketing Course: Written exam MCQ, lasting a maximum of 1 hour, done with a closed book. The exam may take place online or at the ICHEC, depending on the circumstances.
- Management, Marketing and Methodology Seminar: The summative evaluation deals with the work carried out in class throughout the seminar, the research paper and an oral defense. The oral defense will be organized during the last session of the seminar. The attendance of each team member is required. Participation in the seminar is mandatory, as well as the completion of all the assignments. Absence or
failing to submit assignments will impact the final grade. If plagiarism is found to have occurred in all or part of the final written work, ALL members of the team will be given a mark of 0/20 and a reprimand in their file (see ICHEC procedure 'Preventing the risk of plagiarism' and the study regulations - see Moodle). Students who fail to hand in the research paper and/or to take part in the oral defense, will be sanctioned with a grade of 0/20. Therefore, the learning activity will not be validated. Failing to apply or a misapplication of APA referencing standard is taken into account in the summative assessment and may result in a 0/20 (if 10% or more of the sources are missing or incorrectly referenced, a penalty of at least -2/20 points will be applied to the mark for the final written work). Failing to comply with the instructions for the submission of the final paper (date, electronic version) on ICHEC Moodle will be taken into account in the summative assessment and may result in a 0/20.
Méthode de calcul
Lorsqu'une unité d'enseignement (UE) comporte plusieurs activités d'apprentissage (AA), la note globale pour l'UE est calculée comme suit :
- Si toutes les notes obtenues pour les différentes activités d'apprentissage sont supérieures ou égales à 10/20, la note globale sera la moyenne arithmétique pondérée (en fonction de l'importance relative de chacune des AA dans l'UE) de ces notes.
- Si au moins une des notes obtenues pour une AA est inférieure à 10/20, la note globale sera alors la moyenne géométrique pondérée des notes des AA.
