Course Content

During this course, students get familiar with the assessment center methodology. They (in group) develop their own assessment center exercise (e.g. analyze the context, define competences and indicators, defining the content of the exercise, evaluation forms). Finally, they test their exercise on classmates, observe and interview the participants and provide feedback. A real case from an organization is used for this assignment when possible.

During this course, students are obliged to participate in an annual two-day teambuilding seminar (together with the master students Industrial/Organizational psychology, with particpant fee) in order to become familiar with the exercises and with the role of instructor, which they have to fulfill in their master years.

Additional info regarding evaluation
  • Participation in all assignments is required, if not 'absent' for the entire course.
  • Participation in the 2-day teambuilding seminar is mandatory. If the student doesn’t participate, he/she is ‘absent’ on this assignment, resulting in ‘absent’ for the entire course.
  • When the student fails or was ‘absent’ for this course, he/she needs to make those assignments on which he/she failed or was absent in the first exam period. The assignments need to be made individually (instead of in group). In the second exam period, students cannot participate in a new teambuilding seminar, so they need to make an alternative assignment with regard to teambuilding. The deadline for the written assignments is the first monday of the second exam session before 12 AM.
  • In previous years the price varied between 50-80 euros. The VUB offers possibilities for financial support: https://student.vub.be/studiefinanciering
  • Students can request an exemption for assignments in which they succeeded in the previous year, nut only during the first class or within the 2 weeks following this first class.
  • In exceptional cases, the group assignments can be made on an individual basis, but only after a thorough motivation and with an agreement of the teacher received during the first class or within the 2 weeks following this first class.
