Metodología docente

Evaluación (instrumentos de evaluación, criterios de evaluación y porcentaje sobre la calificación final.)

Evaluación Ordinaria

Article 17 of the UGR Assessment Policy and Regulations establishes that the ordinary assessment session (convocatoria ordinaria) will preferably be based on the continuous assessment of students, except for those who have been granted the right to a single final assessment (evaluación única final), which is an assessment method that only takes a final exam into account.

It will be conducted an ongoing evaluation of student training in order to assess (shown in parenthesis the weight of each item in the final assessment):

  • Individual tests: 45%. It consists on different tests assessing: 1) Flexibility and strategic change, 2) Strategic network design and 3) Supply Chain Management.
  • Oral group presentations: 35%
  • Active participation in discussion sessions and the degree of interest of the interventions. It will consider the level of student involvement in the subject matter and the degree of ongoing monitoring of the development of the course (20%). Attendance to seminars is compulsory to reach the highest marks

Evaluación Extraordinaria

Article 19 of the UGR Assessment Policy and Regulations establishes that students who have not passed a course in the ordinary assessment session (convocatoria ordinaria) will have access to an extraordinary assessment session (convocatoria extraordinaria). All students may take part in this extraordinary assessment session, regardless of whether or not they have followed continuous assessment activities. In this way, students who have not carried out continuous assessment activities will have the opportunity to obtain 100% of their mark by means of an exam and/or assignment.

EXTRAORDINARY ASSESSMENT SESSION will take place in July (2nd-24th 2022). Date of the special exam will be fixed at least 15 days before the exam:

  • 100% of the grade will correspond to that obtained in a final assessment of the following type:
  • Written exam: 10 general questions related to the topics covered

Evaluación única final

Article 8 of the UGR Assessment Policy and Regulations establishes that students who are unable to follow continuous assessment methods due to justifiable reasons shall have recourse to a single final assessment (evaluación única final), which is an assessment method that only takes a final exam into account.

In order to opt for a single final assessment (evaluación única final), students must send a request, using the corresponding online procedure, to the coordinator of the master’s programme, in the first two weeks of the course or in the two weeks following their enrolment (if the enrolment has taken place after the classes have already begun). The coordinator will communicate this information to the relevant teaching staff members, citing and verifying the reasons why the student is unable to follow the continuous assessment system.

In this case, the assessment will comprise:

  • The single final assessment will cover 100% of the potential mark through taking a written exam: 10 general questions related to the topics covered in the subject. (100%).
  • Date of the evaluation (ordinary call) will be fixed no longer than 2 weeks after the end of the lecture period and, at least 15 days before the exam. Date of the evaluation (extraordinary call) will be fixed in June-July 2024 at least 15 days before the exam.

Información adicional

INCLUSION and DIVERSITY. In the case of students with disabilities or other specific educational support needs (NEAE), the tutoring system will be adapted to these needs, following the recommendations of the inclusion area at the University of Granada. Departments and centers will establish appropriate measures to ensure that tutorials take place in accessible locations. Additionally, at the request of faculty, support can be requested from the competent unit at UGR for special methodological adaptations.
