Learning unit contents

The objective of the course is to make students aware of themes related to entrepreneurship and to give them a taste of the entrepreneurship spirit.
This course does not have the ambition to make you become entrepreneurs, but rather to approach a vision of management and "entrepreneurial skills" as well as to approach the different facets of entrepreneurial creation by demystifying stereotypes and preconceived ideas.
The course will be divided between theoretical sessions, testimonials from entrepreneurs, and readings and achievements of team works and/or personal works.

 First session
The evaluation of the entrepreneurship course is divided into two parts:
- Oral presentation(s) in group -> 50%
- A final exam, multiple-choice questionnaire - online or "face to face". -> 50%

Any absence for one of these tests prevails for the entire final grade.


Second session
The evaluation of the entrepreneurship course is composed of the realization of a blueprint opportunity.

The counters are reset to zero, meaning that neither the points from the final exam nor the points from the oral presentations of the group work are included in the mark for the second session.
