Leerresultaten
Lectures and homework, management simulation game, exam. Through the semester you will be required to prepare and submit six homework assignments. These will be graded out of 10, and form 60% of your course grade. Submitting all six homeworks is a requirement for completing the course (i.e. an ‘incomplete’ grade will be submitted if you do not submit all six homeworks).
Toetsing
At the end of the semester, we will hold an exam, which will form the remaining 40% of your grade. The exam will be a ‘take-home’ exam, published on Moodle with a 48-hour window to complete the written assignment and submit your exam.
