To develop the theoretical contents of the subject, the participative master class will be used. Specifically, during the classes, stimulus questions will be asked to involve the students in the classes and they will be asked to provide examples of the aspects that are being explained at any given time.

The master classes will be made more dynamic with commentaries on videos used in class and cases and readings given to the students.

In order to check the degree of assimilation of the theoretical concepts explained in the master class, practical cases will be proposed which the students will have to hand in in writing.

The master class will also be combined with problem-solving sessions to apply the analytical procedures that have been explained to specific numerical exercises. 

A strategy game will also be used to teach students how to make decisions related to the field of operations management.

Finally, a final exam will be held to assess the overall understanding of the subject.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

The grade for the course will be the result of weighting the grades achieved in the exam, in the cases and written assignments, in the presentations and exhibitions together with the individual monitoring of the student.

The exam will represent 55% of the final grade and will consist of multiple-choice questions and concept questions.

This evaluation system develops the following competences: CB10, CB6, E03MIC and EO4MIC. In turn, it allows the following learning outcomes to be achieved: RB6, RB7, RB9, RE03MIC, REO4MIC, RE05MIC, RE06MIC, REO7MIC, RE08MIC and RG4MIC.

The delivery of written assignments and cases will have an individual or group character together with presentations and exhibitions will represent 40% of the final grade.

This system develops the following competences: CB7, CB8, CG1MIC, CG3MIC, CG4MIC, CT1, CT4, CT5 and E05MIC and allows to achieve the following learning outcomes: RB7, Rb7b, Rb7C, RB8, RE03MIC, RE04MIC, RE05MIC, RE06MIC, RE07 MIC, RE08MIC, RG1MIC, REG3MIC, RG4MIC, RT1, RT4 and RT5.

Finally, individual monitoring of the student will be carried out by assessing their participation in class and will be weighted with 5% of the final grade.

This assessment system develops the following competences: CB6, CB7, CB8, CB9, CT1, CT5 and E05MIC. In turn, it allows the following learning outcomes to be achieved: rRB7, RB9, RE03MIC, REO4MIC, RE05MIC, RE06MIC, RE07MIC, RE08MIC, RG4MIC and RT4.

The face-to-face classes are of a practical and compulsory nature.

According to the Regulations of academic regime and evaluation of the students of the University of Jaén (approved by the Governing Council no. 33, 21/11/2013 in its article 18 point 4), to be eligible for the ordinary and extraordinary call it is necessary to have attended at least 80% of the classroom sessions of the subject.

Therefore, if the student has not attended at least 80% of the face-to-face sessions of the subject, he/she will not be able to take either the ordinary or the extraordinary call.

Methodology

In the event that the capacity of the classroom assigned to teach the master's degree does not allow the safety distance to be guaranteed, the classes, both master classes and practical sessions, will be taught in rotational classroom mode with two subgroups at 50%, for which the class list will be divided into two with the same number of students in alphabetical order. Attendance will be on alternate days for each group, with live online retransmission for the subgroup that is not attending.

Assessment System

Although the same assessment instruments will be used as in the face-to-face mode, some of the weights given to the different instruments will be modified. These instruments will be:

     1. Attendance and participation (5%).
Class attendance in this scenario is still compulsory. Students must attend at least 80% of the sessions. Likewise, active participation in class and in debates will also be valued.

    2. The delivery of written assignments and cases will have a weight of 45%.

    3. The exam will have a weight of 50%. The exam will take place online. Students must connect to the google meet platform on the scheduled date and time and have the video activated during the exam.

Timing

In this scenario, the number of classroom hours is reduced by 50% compared to the normal situation.

Methodology

In this case, all the teaching will be given by videoconference in a synchronous way through the google meet tool.

Assessment System

Although the same assessment instruments will be used as in the face-to-face mode, the weights given to the different instruments will be modified. These weights coincide with those of the multimodal or mixed scenario:

Attendance and participation (5%).
Class attendance in this scenario is still compulsory. Students must attend at least 80% of the sessions. Active participation in class and in debates will also be assessed.

The delivery of written assignments and cases will have a weight of 45%.

The exam will have a weight of 50%. The exam will take place online. Students must connect to the google meet platform on the scheduled date and time and have the video activated during the exam.
