Content

Teaching methods

The course is structured into 4 thematic modules:

1. The company and the world of work: challenges, organizational aspects, managerial culture, etc.
2. Dynamic company operations: social dialogue, change management, etc.
3. Interpersonal interactions: project, team, etc.
4. The individual at work: leadership, well-being, preference, etc.

Each module is taught over a two-week period alternating between lectures and group work. The group work is designed to ensure that the learning acquired is anchored in practical practice (TP). It culminates in the production of a written report and an oral defense.
External contributors complete the teaching package through lectures and/or an evening debate with guest speakers on the contemporary context and challenges of Human Management.

Evaluation methods

Assessment will be based primarily on students' ability to establish and explain links between the content of lectures (and their supports) and:

• issues related to managing people in organizational contexts.
• the way in which they will have carried out their group work in relationship to these issues.

This assessment takes the form of a group work assignment which is the subject of a written report and an oral defense (collective). In the second part of this oral defense, the evaluators question the students individually about their own contributions, those of their colleagues and the content of the lectures and/or the main reference work.
The mark awarded for this group work serves as the sole certificate evaluation of the course. There are no other evaluation methods (exams, etc.). Group work receives a single mark, which is awarded to all students in the group in proportion to their involvement during the course sessions the work is created. This individual involvement is concretely measured using the “Dynamo” tool, which enables students to assess the involvement of all group members in the work. At least two “Dynamo” assessments are organized during the semester and the individual coefficient applied to the group mark is calculated as follows:

• anyone who receives a Dynamo involvement score of 0.9 or more is awarded a coefficient of 1;   
• anyone who receives a Dynamo involvement score strictly below 0.9 is assigned a coefficient equal to this score;
• anyone who does not take part in a Dynamo evaluation is assigned a coefficient equal to 0.

The final individual multiplying coefficient is equal to the average of the coefficients calculated after each Dynamo evaluation. This coefficient applies to both the January and August-September sessions.
All students in a group whose work is judged insufficient in the first session will receive a failing grade. This group will be invited to improve its work over the summer, and to present it again during the August-September session.
The use of generative AI software such as chatGPT is authorized to assist in the drafting of the documents requested as part of this project. However, it must be clearly and completely indicated in the document(s) concerned.

Other information

In the context of the group work, it is important that the students ensure beforehand a clear distribution of the roles between them, given that this role may be the subject of questioning during the oral defense.
