Teaching method

 

Theoretical and practical classes-

Evaluation method

Lectures, supplemented by practical applications, case studies and simulations. Four working groups provide a practical application of the concepts and techniques studied in the course.

 

Evaluation

1st  Period - Participation in the class and presence (5%), three presentations of EC application cases per group (40%), one presentation per group of a scientific paper (20%), and exam (35%).

2nd Period - three presentations of EC application cases per group (40%), one presentation per group of a scientific paper (20%), and exam (40%).

 

EC application cases - In-chapter cases highlight real-world problems encountered by organizations as they develop and implement EC.  Questions follow each case to help direct students¿ attention to the implications of the case material. Each group (3 or 4 people) have 15 minutes per presentation. The group chooses three cases from the EC application cases table.

 

Scientific paper - We provide a set of scientific papers and each group of students chooses one paper to analyze and make a presentation (15 minutes). The aim of this work is to develop research skills to prepare students to start research.
