Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
Each team will work on assigned tasks. Each group member has to contribute to the final group presentation (a 15 minutes pitch per team, 25%) that will take place during the last session of the term. By presenting their sustainable business plan, students demonstrate they are capable of presenting their business model in a clear and comprehensible manner to an audience. In addition, each team member will work on a section of the final written project report, describing and analyzing the sustainable business plan of the team. The written paper is due four weeks after the oral presentation (max. 8,000 words, 75%). By writing the project report students demonstrate that they are able to elaborate more in-depth on their sustainable venture. They also show their ability to apply the theory and real-life examples provided to them to their own idea and business model.
