1. Continuous Evaluation System 

In the Continuous Evaluation System the final grade is based on several components: 

1. Average of 5 quizzes done during the lectures (60%) or the 1st Sit Exam ("Época Normal" exam) (60%). If  you decide to do both the quizzes or the exam, your grade will be the maximum of the two components. There will be 7 quizzes during the semester: 

  • Quiz 1 - Working Capital
  • Quiz 2.1 and 2.2 - Short Term Finance
  • Quiz 3 - Raising Equity
  • Quiz 4 - Payout Policy
  • Quiz 5.1 and 5.2 - Debt and Leasing
The 5 best quizzes will be selected in the following way: the maximum of Quiz 2.1 and 5.1 and the four best quizzes of  the remaining Quizzes (Quiz 1, Quiz 2.2, Quiz 3, Quiz 4, Quiz 5.2). The minimum grade of the average of the 5 quizzes and of the exam is 8/20. 

2. IPO case-study (20%): students must prepare a written report, and a powerpoint presentation. The case-study cannot have more than 5 pages. In appendix, you should include all relevant information to solve the assignment. Students must organize themselves in groups of five participants.  The due date is: March 29. Students will present the case-study on March 29 and 31. 

3. Rights case-study (20%): students must prepare a written report, and a powerpoint presentation. The case-study cannot have more than 5 pages. Students must organize themselves in groups of five participants. The due date is. April 12. Students will present the case-study on April 12 and 14.

Additionally, the students can earn extra points according with their performance on the Start-up Valuation Game. This game is not mandatory and it will take place during the lectures. The extra values are the following: 

- 1st position in the game: 1 value 

- 2nd position in the game: 0.5 value 

- 3rd position in the game: 0.25 value  

 

2. Final Evaluation System 

 

In the Final Evaluation System, the only grading element is the final exam. Students who do not participate in the continuous evaluation system can only present themselves to the final exam in Época de Recurso. 

 

Rules:

  1. In "Época de Recurso" students in the continuous evaluation system can keep their continuous evaluation grades (from IPO and Right case-studies), and the final grade will be the maximum of: (i) the weighted average of the case-studies and final exam grades (60%) or (ii) the final exam grade.
  2. Students may collaborate on assignments with other groups. Of course, collaboration does not mean simply copy what the other group has done. Each group must turn in a separate assignment and each group is responsible for the content of the assignment.
