A002547 - ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR

The final exam will be different for students who will attend at least 65% of lectures (attending students) and those that will not (not attending students).
Attending students will work in a small group (maximum 4 persons) on a project all along the course and are expected to actively participate in in-class discussions and activities. At the end of the project, students should give a 20-minute presentation to the class and each team member is requested to speak. Projects’ activities are devoted to evaluating students’ ability to apply knowledge and understanding, their communication skills, and their ability to make judgments Project evaluation and in-class participation will account for 65% of the final mark. The 35% will be given by a final written exam composed of 11 multiple-choice questions (0,5 points each) and one open question (5 points). These questions will evaluate students’ abilities to communicate in a written form and their knowledge and understanding.
Project work will be structured in a way that will allow for evaluating both collective and individual performance and contribution. Topics for the project will be agreed upon with the professor by mid-October and chosen among those included in the course program and specifically oriented to enhance students’ understanding of issues related to OB and organizational ethics and wellbeing. The project's deliverables will be: i) a 20 minutes in-class presentation; ii) a 10 pages r report. Bibliography will be partially assigned by the professor and partially self-retrieved by students.
Non-attending students will do a final written exam composed of 11 multiple-choice questions (0,5 points each), two open questions (5 points each), and a final problem-solving issue (10 points) where they should propose an integrated solution to a complex OB problem. This last question is specifically designed to verify their abilities to make judgments and to learn.
The status of “attending student” will be valid for all the exam sessions of the academic year in which he/she will get the status. However, if an attending student will not pass the exam on the first attempt or he/she will reject a mark, in the following round he/she should take the full exam (as a not attending student).
The benefit of being and attending student will last for 1 academic year.
