Évaluation

-Their participation in class.
-Their performance when playing business games & making class/homework exercises.

In addition, we play the "Project Management" game which assesses the student's ability to initiate, plan, execute, control, and close a project. The game also evaluates whether or not students are able to apply risk management.

- There is a written exam that assesses all aspects of the course. An example exam is available & is discussed in class.

These mechanisms allow to assess whether or not students are able to break down complex organizational problems using the appropriate methodology & to assess how students organize change management processes.
