    • to be able to identify in a conflict situation the parties involved, the context in which it occurred, the cause(s) of that conflict, when it was perceived by the parties, when it manifested itself, which were the interests and positions of the parties involved in the dispute, which strategies were used to deal with it, what was the (in)effectiveness of the strategies used and if there was, or not, recourse to third parties and, if yes, how was that intervention.

  • Teaching methodologies and assessment

    Teaching methodologies and assessment

    The theoretical-practical classes include the exposition and discussion of the various themes, accompanied by illustrative examples that occur in an organisational context, as well as analysis and critical comment of simulations illustrating conflict and negotiation processes that occur in organisations.

     

    The assessment is made on a scale of 0 to 20 values and involves the completion of an individual work that corresponds to 100% of the final mark, which must comply with the defined standards. The module will be approved when the final mark is at least 10.

     

    The continuous assessment process requires the completion of the requested individual work and the attendance of at least 90% of the classes, unless otherwise authorised by the Course Director. If the mark obtained is less than 10/20, or if you wish to improve your mark, you can take the 2nd assessment period. For more information please read the Course Regulations.
