A midterm anonymous customer satisfaction and climate questionnaire will be given in order to facilitate the fine tuning of the second part of the course.
The exam consists of a report on the planning of a cultural event. Each team of 4/5 students proposes a topic and reaches an agreement with the teacher on its outline. Two weeks are given for reports to be drawn up. Report structure should allow evaluation of each student's work. The reports are submitted to the teacher who will write an individual feedback assessment for each student. The presentation and discussion of reports in the classroom will complete the exam period.
