Teaching Methods
The course follows the "learning by doing" teaching methodology, encouraging students to actively participate in the practical application of theoretical concepts in real-world situations and scenarios. This involves not only attending lectures or reading the suggested and provided materials, but also reinforcing critical understanding and intervention skills. Thus, in addition to presenting material, solving exercises, and developing case studies, learning by doing encourages student participation in developing knowledge application skills through: i) practical case studies, which characterize wine companies, analyze, discuss, and compare their missions, values, and objectives, strategies and strategic development areas, products and services, operational activities and instruments (sales, production, and markets), and real-world wine management experiences; ii) thematic workshops on wine tourism, sustainability, and the circular economy; iii) interactive discussions with invited experts on relevant and current topics, including the challenges and complexities of wine management, change management, digitalization, and internationalization.
Assessment
The course assessment includes a continuous grading system and a final grading system. Continuous grading is based on four assessment elements (EA), one per module, consisting of individual written exams, each weighing 25%. The final grade (NF) corresponds to the grade resulting from the application of the following weighting: NF = 0.25% EA1 + 0.25% EA2 + 0.25% EA3 + 0.25% EA4.
In the final regime alternative there is only an individual written exam (PEI) wich makes 80% of student grade and the case study also mandatory with remaining 20%. In both methods students are required to score a minimum of 10 out of 20 points in order to pass.
