Teaching, Learning, and Assessment Procedures

EIM utiliza una combinación adecuada de métodos de enseñanza y aprendizaje que permiten a los estudiantes con diferentes estilos y habilidades de aprendizaje completar con éxito nuestros cursos de grado. El enfoque didáctico se basa en un enfoque de enseñanza y aprendizaje tutorial estilo Oxbridge que es muy adecuado para el aprendizaje interactivo y centrado en el estudiante que promueve la participación activa de los estudiantes y una experiencia de aprendizaje personal.

The program has a varied range of learning activities embedded within the content for each module. The assessment of the study performance includes a combination of feedforward by lecturers and peers on partial works developed for each tutorial and a final examination. The chosen examination format for each module is aligned with the specific learning outcomes of this module.

The assessments are based on the combined evaluation of partial works delivered for each tutorial and of the final examination. All assessments are corroborated by a second qualified lecturer or coach. To secure the originality of the case study developed, the final assessment includes an oral presentation component where students present their final case study.
