Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
The syllabus contents are covered in lectures (which analyses and discuss the theoretical principles of the syllabus) and theoretical-practical (through interactive lessons, fostered by intense and valuable participation of students, being used teaching cases developed by internationally renowned schools in the Entrepreneurship education, in particular the Babson College). The evaluation consists of two elements: a written test (50%) and practical group work (50%), both with a minimum grade of 7.00 values. At the época recurso/especial or melhoria, the evaluation criteria remain, giving the student the opportunity to recover or improve only the grade of the written test.
