Assessment
- Individual written exam: it consists of open and closed questions based on the theory. - In-class active participation: during the theoretical lectures, students are invited to participate in group activities (e.g., discussions, role play, brief case study analyses). - Group case study analysis: students participate in the Ulysses Contest (https://www.ulysses-contest.eu/); during dedicated lectures, groups of students analyze a family business case study based on assigned questions and by applying the theoretical concepts previously illustrated during the theoretical lectures. Non-attending students have to write to the lecturer at the beginning of the course. These students are evaluated based on an individual written exam. The written exam consists of open and closed questions, as in the case of attending students, but goes deeper in testing non-attending students’ knowledge.
