GRADING POLICY
-ASSESSMENT METHODS:
| Assignment | Guidelines | Weight |
| CLASS PARTICIPATION | Students will be evaluated on preparation, participation and interaction with other students. Repeated absences will affect the quality of the student’s performance and a penalty of up to 3 percentage points may be applied to the final course grade if the student misses more than the allowed two classes.
| 10 % |
| CASES PRESENTATION | Students are invited to organize themselves in groups; every week a group introduced the discussion on the case (as scheduled after the first lesson) through a presentation (maximum 15 minutes). After the introduction, the whole class began a discussion on the topic of the day taking comments and suggestions on the case.
Group selection and dynamics | 20 % |
| VENTURE PROJECT ANALYSIS | Every student selects a company chosen from a list of cases provided by the professor. The project will consist of three stages:
- First draft, to be submitted at the end of the third week (a 2-page outline of the proposed case and issues to be covered)
- Second draft, to be submitted at the end of the fifth week (7-10 page document, fully fleshed out).
- Third and final draft, to be submitted at the end of the sixth week. The third draft should take into account comments and suggestions made by the instructor.
| 40 % |
| FINAL EXAM | The final examination will consist on a public presentation of the final project case.
Students will be required to work in groups for this component of the course and conduct a written, in-depth analysis of a case, providing detailed recommendations and supporting them with adequate qualitative and quantitative analysis.
The maximum duration of the presentation is 10 minutes. A Q&A session with the entire class follows the presentations.
The presentation will be done by the same groups of students that discussed the cases (point 2). The professor in class will propose a list of companies. | 30 % |

ACADEMIC HONESTY
As stated in the university catalog, any student who commits an act of academic
dishonesty will receive a failing grade on the work in which the dishonesty occurred.
In addition, acts of academic dishonesty, irrespective of the weight of the assignment,
may result in the student receiving a failing grade in the course. Instances of
academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Academic Affairs. A student
who is reported twice for academic dishonesty is subject to summary dismissal from
the University. In such a case, the Academic Council will then make a recommendation
to the President, who will make the final decision.
