Evaluation Methodology:
The syllabus contents are covered in lectures (which provide and discuss the theoretical principles of the syllabus) and theoretical-practical (through interactive lessons, fostered by intense and valuable participation of students, using teaching cases developed by internationally renowned schools in the Entrepreneurship education, in particular the Babson College). The evaluation evaluation at the regular season consists of three elements: a written test (40%) and two group works, a case study (20%) and a business plan (40%), all elements have a minimum grade of 7.00 values. At the time of appeal or improvement, the evaluation criteria remain, giving the student the opportunity to recover or improve only the grade of the written test.
