A few words from the Dean Dear Professor,
First of all, I would like to welcome you to IE.
The institution of which you are now a very significant member opened its doors in Madrid more than thirty years ago. Since then, we have fostered innovation and change in organisations and we have trained entrepreneurial managers who create employment, wealth and social well-being. The business world is not impervious to the great changes that are affecting our planet each day, this current situation motivates us to turn our toil into an even more exciting project
To accomplish our mission, we count on you, our most valuable asset: a staff of more than 700 professors, made up of top-level experts who give classes to students from seventy-three countries each year on Masters, Doctorate and Executive Education programmes. Besides, there is IE University in the Campus of Santa Cruz la Real in Segovia.
If I was asked to choose one advantage that distinguishes our learning model from others, it would undoubtedly be the way in which we approach the students. We encourage their active participation in the programmes and promote debate and teamwork in classes that are highly practical and interactive.
As an indication of the efforts we make in training, we have a platform comprising 40,000 alumni who occupy management positions in more than one hundred countries. IE looks upon its professors and alumni as its ambassadors all over the world.
We recreate the IE Experience on a daily basis with the work and enthusiasm of all of those who form part of IE. The experience of entrepreneurial and innovative school. A school that creates character. A school that marks the difference.
Thank you for joining our business school faculty. I am sure you will develop a dynamic and successful career at IE. You can count on me for any help you may need!
Santiago Íñiguez
Dean, IE Business School
President of IE University

2. IE and its academic offer Founded in 1973 as a private and independent academic institution, IE
focuses its educational work on three socio-economic areas: the business, legal, and fiscal training of managers within the world’s current economic framework; the fostering of collective wealth through constant support for the creation of new enterprises; and as an opinion forum for the analysis of new trends and events in the business world.
The fundamental principles at the core of IE’s work include the promotion of quality and innovation in training managers and entrepreneurs, commitment to business ethics, and the creation of enterprises as a driving force behind economic growth and sustained social well-being.
Since its inception, IE’s objective has been to become a reference school on an international scale. Accredited by AACSB International, EQUIS, and AMBA, IE is regularly positioned with the top business schools in rankings by international media including Bloomberg BusinessWeek, The Economist, Financial Times, and The Wall Street Journal, who consider IE's flagship International MBA and Executive MBA programs as among the best in the world.
Today, IE is the nerve center of a network with more than 40,000 alumni who carry out their professional activities in over 100 countries. IE provides value to managers and their organizations through an array of services that cover their development needs throughout their professional lives.
IE currently structures its academic options through two types of programs: postgraduate training, which includes Masters Degrees and Doctorates; and continuous training, such as Executive Education. MBA programs, specialized programs (in Enterprise and Law), and doctorate programs (PhD and DBA) are offered in either Spanish or English or both. Furthermore, the programs vary in terms of time and experience required of students. IE offers both full-time and part-time programs, as well as online, blended learning and programs taught in the classroom. The continuous training programs, developed by the Executive Education Division, constitute avant-garde activities in executive development with seminars and conferences that pursue the latest advances in business management, the adaptation to new technologies, and the analysis of new legislation.
7
Through IE University, the institution now offers undergraduate and bachelor’s degrees with the approval of Spain’s Consejo de Universidades del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia e Innovación – as well as the New Degrees in accordance with the Bologna Process and the European Space for Higher Education.
The University has a very clear international orientation and offers graduate and undergraduate degrees in both English and Spanish, similar to North American Universities. The objective is to aid in students’ and professors’ mobility among international universities and to foster the exchange of knowledge and spread innovation for the better understanding of global business management through a humanist and entrepreneurial mindset.

3. Becoming a member of the teaching staff at IE IE has a staff of 100 full-time professors and 600 part-time professors
(Adjunct and Visiting Professors) who teach elective courses and other types of programmes on a regular basis. In addition, IE´s Executive Education programmes count with a number of professionals and speakers who collaborate in courses from their areas of expertise.
Maintaining the level of excellence of its teaching staff is a matter of the uttermost importance at IE and therefore the recruitment and evaluation procedures are established to help us to continue to maintain the high standards that we have always had.
3.1 Becoming a Full-time Professor Candidates should access the IE recruitment website at
www.ie.edu/reclutamiento, complete the application form and attach their CV, their Teaching and Research statement, a sample of their research work and they have the option to include a cover letter or teaching evaluations if they have teaching experience.
Once the applicants have been evaluated by the recruitment committee, the process continues with an invitation to the campus for a series of interviews with faculty members and for a presentation of their research work. The recruitment committee prepares a report for the consideration of the Dean. If the candidate is hired, an economic offer is made and, once it has been accepted, the hiring procedures are started.
The Area Directors and the Director of Faculty Affairs are responsible for the training of the new professors, who will attend the classes of other faculty members, as well as workshops and seminars for faculty members. For enquiries about these matters, please contact Adriana Angel ([email protected]).
3.2 Incorporation as an Adjunct and Visiting Professor (Part-Time):
Candidates should submit their application to the Office of the Adjunct and Visiting Faculty via the recruitment website at www.ie.edu/reclutamiento , completing a form, attaching their CV and an essay of intention why they want to teach at IE and their teaching philosophy, as well as a bio and copies of assessments of other courses they have given.
9
Depending on the profile of the candidate, some steps may be required prior his or her incorporation consisting on attending workshop seminars, class presentations, etc.
If it is the first time the professor teaches at IE, he must fill out and sign the Professor Incorporation and Data Modification Form provided by the Adjunct and Visiting Faculty, submit it to that department together with a copy of his DNI, NIE or passport. Then, the professor is provided with an e-mail account, a login username and password for accessing the Campus Online and information on how IE works.
The Professors must keep their information updated using the Personal Data Form found in the Adjunct and Visiting Faculty resource on Campus Online. For more information about this resource, please check the Professor’s Technology Guide.
Once the professor has joined the programme, everything related to academic matters and allocations will be processed through the Area Director. For further information about administration issues or general information about IE, please contact Adriana Murlá ([email protected]).

The Programming Department works in close collaboration with each professor. In order to make this collaboration more successful, it is vitally important for the professor to read this chapter carefully and consult any doubt he may have with regard to its content.
The Area Director is the first person involved in the process. His function consists of assigning the professor to one or more courses to teach each subject. He informs the professor of the number of classes in each group, the number of days of class, the times at which they are to be taught and the approximate period in which the sessions will take place.
11
4.1 Planning classes
4.1.1 Requesting indications
Before the courses are assigned, professors must inform the Area Director of possible indications to the dates and times available for teaching due to other commitments (business trips, etc.), together with their preferences.
They must indicate if they want a class planning that follows a specific order, if they want to teach a double session, special classroom ( computer lab,workroom,mobileclassroom etc.) depending on the programme. If the professor is to teach on more than one course during the same period, he must indicate his preferences regarding teaching on the same or different days.
Initially, the sessions will be distributed equally over the course teaching days.
These preferences and indications will be taken into consideration as the variables that affect the planning process and that may limit the availability of dates and times for assigning classes in certain cases. These variables may affect the programme (days on which the classes are taught, the duration of the subject, the number of sessions, etc.) or the teaching staff (incompatibility among professors’ indications on the same programme, etc.). Owing to the difficulty of the planning process, all professors are asked to remain as flexible as possible regarding the availability of times and dates for teaching classes and to report their indications in advance.
4.1.2 Sending of sessions
After planning the sessions, the list of class times is sent to each professor. The sessions are sent by e-mail as an Excel file. This will be the usual means of communication between the professor and the Programming Department and it is important for professors to check their mail on a regular basis. Once the professor has received the sessions, he must send a confirmation e-mail to Planning. The session planning is considered definitive.
4.1.3 Class reminder
You will be reminded of the sessions you have to teach by e-mail in advance. In the message, you will be notified of the course, subject name, class start and end time and the room in which the session is to be taught. The file will be in Excel format.
12
4.2 Request for changes
In some cases, a professor may have to request a change to the date or time of one of his planned sessions. This involves alterations to the normal progress of the programme and, in most cases, affects students. We understand that changes will occur only in very exceptional cases due to the fact that the professor has already indicated it in his preferences.
If you need to request the change, you must send the request by e-mail to the Area Director, who shall notify the Programming Department with a minimum notice of 15 days, indicating the following:
The reason for the request
The session to be changed
Possible dates for recuperating the session
Similarly, as a result of the above, the Programming Department may request a change and, in this case, we would ask you to be as flexible as possible.

IE Publishing
Our goal is to provide the IE Higher Education community (i.e. its students, faculties, lecturers and managers) with an optimal service for its publications, documentation and publishing of teaching materials. Similarly, as a knowledge hub, we aim to contribute to disseminating the IE's intellectual output as widely as possible in the national and international academic sphere.
IE Publishing promotes academic excellence through the quality and diversity of publications.
As an IE Knowledge Centre it contributes to the dissemination of the scientific output and knowledge generated by the IE faculty and its various knowledge centres, innovation projects and chairs.
It also runs the database ensuring copyright is respected in accordance with the applicable legislation.
Document-IE. This is an IE database managed by the publications department. It comprises an extensive and carefully
14
selected catalogue of approximately 5,000 technical notes, case studies, articles, working papers, book chapters and multimedia cases, among other teaching materials successfully tested in the classroom.
Publishing and Documentation also coordinates and provides support for the whole range of IE programmes and degrees, and supports the teaching faculty in preparing syllabuses and teaching materials, as well as in coordinating with various international publishers whose titles they wish to make available to students attending their classes.
Managing IE Publishing. It supports the editing and publication of books, studies, dissertations and theses, academic, institutional and commercial reports by IE faculty, and has signed joint publishing agreements with a number of leading publishers worldwide.
Managing the IE bookstore. A specialist bookshop with the most relevant and up-to-date titles in the business world, management, and the legal professions, in addition to the bibliographic collection published by the IE faculty in the various disciplines taught in IE Higher Education.
5.1 Document Generation and Distribution
5.1.1 Educational Programme and Syllabus
This is the document that explains the study programme to be followed in a subject, defining the academic objectives to cover and their provisional organisation. It is the lecturer who prepares and sends it to the Publishing and Documentation Department, which will collect the teaching material, sent and/or communicated by the lecturer and make them available to the students at the distribution point, which is the IE Store. The Publishing Department will inform students through the online campus beforehand so that they can come in to pick up this documentation.
5.1.2 Process, deadlines for application and delivery of programmes and documentation
The process begins with the Request for the Syllabus for your subject from IE Publishing.
The request process is as follows:
SYLLABUS REQUEST: Bearing in mind that the syllabus must be received at least one month before the start date of the classes, you will receive a first request by email two
15
and a half months before the start of your subject. You will have one month to prepare your syllabus.
REMINDER: Approximately 10-15 days before the deadline for delivery of the syllabus, if the department has not yet received the syllabus, a second communication will be sent as a reminder.
DEADLINE: Once the deadline has been reached, the IE Publishing team will contact the Program Management and Area Director to notify them of the status and inform them of which lecturers have not sent their syllabus.
Bear in mind that once the deadline has been reached, the Publishing Department cannot accept responsibility for documentation not reaching the students in time. (Check Figure 1 summarising the process and timelines).
Figure 1
5.1.3 Structure of Syllabus
In order to enable students to receive the documentation relative to each session sufficiently in advance, you must include in your syllabus those materials that you wish the department to prepare and that therefore you want the students to have available in order to follow your classes.
Your syllabus must include a certain minimum content in a pre-established order. We enclose an example that may be useful to you as a guide (Check Syllabus Example).

Bibliography
If this is the first time you are teaching a class, ask for the template of a typical programme from the documentation department. You can also log on to Campus Online and visit the IE Publishing section, where you can download the template and the manual explaining how to complete it.
If you have already taught a course in previous years, and plan to modify your programme, please make the changes to the final version sent to you by the documentation department. This will avoid you needing to complete a similar programme in a fresh template, and in turn, the need for the documentation department to reformat it. If you cannot find the previous programme, please do not hesitate to ask the documentation-reprographics department for a copy.
5.1.4 Types of Documentation
The documentation that may be included in the subject programme can be very diverse and may consist of a variety of printed and/or multimedia materials.
17
N.T.: Technical Note, a theory document explaining a topic (document_ie).
C.P.: Case Study describing the situation of a company and raising issues for students to solve (document-ie).
Documentation and multimedia materials: interactive materials (simulations, graphics, case studies, technical notes, etc.)
Required Documentation: Supporting documentation (slides, sheets on which to prepare cases, articles, book chapters or any other documentation necessary to prepare or follow each session).
Handouts: this is supplementary documentation that the lecturer intends to deliver personally to students during the teaching session.
Pills of Knowledge: videos and podcasts developed by the IE faculty covering topics of interest in the school and university’s various areas of knowledge which can be used to supplement classroom teaching. These can be consulted on: http://multimedia.ie.edu/multimedia/pod
Bibliography: the lecturer should draw a clear distinction between the compulsory or basic bibliography, which is essential reading for students in order to follow the lecturer’s course, and the recommended or supplementary reading.
5.1.5 Querying the IE Knowledge collection and the Document_ie database
The IE Publishing, Publications and Documentation department is in charge of recording and keeping the knowledge generated by the various IE knowledge areas and disciplines and ensuring copyright is observed.
IE Higher Education has an outstanding knowledge base consisting of nearly 5,000 items of teaching materials including technical notes, case studies, teaching notes, articles, market reports, working papers, etc., prepared by the IE faculty and which are available on document-ie at: (http://www.ie.edu/eng/programas/document_ie.asp). Using this simple search tool you can access the main document information and request inspection copies for you to read and subsequently use in class if you wish.
Also, IE Publishing, Publications and Documentation department helps to disseminate teaching materials in academia and also commercially through agreements with some of the main international knowledge distribution organisations. IE Publishing contributes to the dissemination of intellectual capital generated by IE faculty and the various IE centres.
18
Document_ie is also available through the Campus Online and intranet.
5.1.6 Documentation and Multimedia Materials
In addition to the IE and IEU’s traditional documentary resources, the faculty has at its disposal a wide variety of multimedia materials that can be used in teaching sessions.
You can consult the lecturers’ multimedia catalogue at: http://multimedia.ie.edu/multimedia. We recommend that you check it frequently, as it is constantly updated to include new cases and technical notes.
If you want to use multimedia documentation in your classes you must include the reference code in the subject programme you send to the Documentation department for each period. This will mean students can be given the hardcopy version (if there is one) along with the other documents and the multimedia part will be posted on the Campus Online where students will be able to access it, together with any printable version that is available. The documentation department will ensure students have web access for the relevant session.
If you want to include multimedia documentation in a session after the programme has been handed out, need additional information on this content or are interested in developing a multimedia case or technical note for your area or degree, please contact Martin Rodriguez on +34 87 917 51 00 or by email at [email protected]
5.1.7. Handout documents
Handout documents include any materials the lecturer prefers to deliver personally to the students during a given session.
Documents due to be handed out must be marked as such in bold so that all the information of this type in the programme can be removed from the student’s copy. These materials will be used solely to enable documentation staff to plan and manage delivery of the handouts.
When you need to hand out documents directly to students, coordinate this with the documentation department so they can prepare and print the copies you need. The department will deliver reprographic copies or coordinate the delivery with the degree secretary so they reach the students.
5.1.8 Documentation Registration, Translation and Requests
Registering IE teaching materials
Teaching materials produced by the IE faculty are registered with IE Publishing. To register manuals and documentation you have produced in the IE knowledge collection, please contact the department so they can guide you
19
as to the steps that these materials should follow. Please contact [email protected]
The process includes a quality and format review, and the assignment of a key. The materials will undergo a linguistic revision and translation if necessary.
The department will send a Registration Form to catalogue the information so as make searching the knowledge platform easier, and a Copyright Form which is to be completed, signed and sent back to Julia Michilot.
If you want this documentation to be delivered to students as part of the contents of the Syllabus at the start of the period, it is essential that the deadlines be met in order to ensure it reaches students on time (see section 5.1.2).
The translation will also be sent to author of the case or technical note for approval.
Translation of IE documents
If lecturers wish to have any IE teaching materials translated for their programme, they need to notify degree management a month and a half before the date the materials are due to be delivered to students. Area Directors will evaluate and, where appropriate, authorise the translation. Once approved, it will contact the documentation department so it can start the translation. The translation will also be sent to author of the case or technical note for approval.
Purchase and translation of documents from other schools and/or universities
Purchase of documents from other schools and/or universities
If the lecturer is planning to include a document from another school or university (Harvard, IMD, Ivey, etc.) in their syllabus, and IE does not have the copyright for this material, the department must submit a request for purchase, including as much detail about it as possible: school, key, title, author/s, length, etc. If the department has any difficulty locating the text it will contact the lecturer for more information about it or for him or her to provide it in paper or digital format. To proceed with the purchase of this material, the documentation department will contact the relevant degree management for it to authorise the purchase. If there is any difficulty in obtaining the materials, the lecturer will be notified as soon as possible.
Be aware that the purchasing process is not immediate and therefore only if you hand in the programme on time, i.e. one month and a half before the start date of the teaching period, can the documentation department guarantee that documentation can be acquired in time for delivery to students.
20
Translation of documents from other schools and/or universities
If lecturers want to translate teaching materials from other schools or universities, they must notify the relevant degree management at least two months before the date of delivery to students in order to ensure that the documentation is translated in time. Area Directors will evaluate the request and, where appropriate, authorise the translation. Once approved, it will contact the documentation department so that, in turn, it can request permission from the school to translate the material.
Once translated, the document will require both a final revision of the document by the IEU lecturer who requested it, and then the vetting of the school (review and approval of the translation), which will also be entitled to make any changes it deems appropriate.
The process ends with approval by the school and/or university and the introduction of the document in the lecturer’s ‘documentation books.’
Table summarising the process/time needed (see Figure 2)
21
Figure 2
5.1.9 Document quality
The Publications and Documentation Department, in line with IE Higher Education standards, oversees the quality of the documentation supplied to students. For this reason, the department places special emphasis on ensuring care is taken over the presentation of all corporate documents.
As a lecturer and, with regard to the documentation you wish to include:
a) If the documentation is in digital form:
22
Ideally it should be submitted in black and white. Colour documentation makes quality printing difficult later on.
b) If the documentation is on paper (journal articles, book chapters, publications, etc.).
You will need to supply it in digitised text format (not handwritten). The original must be free of black areas and be sufficiently clear and the font large enough that it is legible after printing.
5.1.10 Reproduction of copyright documents (CEDRO and VEGAP)
The IE has signed agreements with the copyright collection societies CEDRO (Centro Español de Derechos Reprográficos) and VEGAP (Visual Entidad de Gestión de Artistas Plásticos).
Both entities authorise reproduction of those documents that are included in their repertoires. These can be consulted at: Cedro (http://www.cedro.org) and VEGAP (http://www.vegap.es). These documents must bear the CEDRO certification stamp, which is available to lecturers in the IE Publishing section of Campus Online. This license allows the IEU to distribute part of the publications in print format or online to students (book chapters and/or magazine articles, etc.), provided that no more than 10% of the total pages of each issue or copy are reproduced.
The IE Publishing Department does not make photocopies, and therefore the lecturer will be obliged to provide any material he wishes to distribute that comes from publications (books, magazines, etc.) in paper format to the Documentation Department for its layout and subsequent processing (María de Molina, 12).
5.1.11 Distribution of Documents
Delivery of documentation books to students is effected in the IE Store before the course starts. A copy of this documentation will be provided to the lecturer at the start of his sessions so that he can review it.
5.1.12 Documents on Campus Online
In addition to the documentation supplied to students on paper, lecturers can post supplementary documentation they have prepared and/or collected for their courses (slides, newspaper articles, reports, etc.) on Campus Online.
This tool can be very useful and offers students considerable added value. It also contributes to the department’s goals of progressively adapting to new technologies to reduce the use of paper for printing and so benefit the environment.
In the Technology Systems section of the IE Guide on Campus Online you will find the necessary instructions for this process.
23
Lecturers posting documents on the IEU Campus Online are responsible for ensuring that the information they contain is not subject to any usage restrictions or infringes third-party rights. Remember that you must not post copyright documents unless you have the express permission of the author(s) of the texts(s) or the texts are included in the CEDRO or VEGAP repertoires.
5.1.13 Book requests
If the teacher wants to include a compulsory reading book as the only documentation for the follow up of the subject, he/she must inform about this to the program’s direction at least three months prior to the beginning of the classes. The Program’s Direction will centralize all requests of compulsory books from all teachers and will transmit such information to the Publishing Direction which will start the required arrangements with the publishing houses and will coordinate upon the students’ requests in order to have the books on time at the IE Store (www.latienda.ie.edu).
In order to make correct book requests the teacher must deliver all the appropriate details to the Program: title, author/s, publishing house, edition, language and ISBN.

6. Sessions 6.1 In-class sessions:
6.1.1 Before you start:
On the Master programmes, before a course starts, the programme management will send the professor four documents with information about students:
1. The class roaster, which contains photos of the students with their names, qualifications, e-mail addresses, nationalities and, in certain cases, professional details.
2. The list of the workgroups assigned for the period in question. As far as possible, it is important to observe the same composition of the groups for the work to be carried out during the subject.
3. Class plan with the photos of the students at the seats assigned to them during the course. The colour in which the name is written shows the work group to which the student has been assigned. This plan allows quick control of student attendance and identification for assessing participation.
4. How to Grade Students. The Grading Sheet based on the criteria of each professor and the normal distribution required by the system. For more information about the use of the Grading Sheet in the Online Campus, please refer to the Professor’s Technology Manual. Next, you will read about how to do an assessment of the students’ performance:
All courses are graded in accordance with the criteria established by each professor a priori in the Course Program. Professors may take into account aptitude, demeanor, attendance and punctuality. The bulk of the grade, however, should be made up of class participation, written reports, in-class presentations, group work, midterm exams, final exams, and the like. Whatever evaluation criteria a professor chooses to use, it is essential that all evaluation criteria be clear and conspicuously enumerated and detailed in the Course Program and that the students have been informed at the beginning of the term of said criteria and their respective weighing.
We urge professors to base as much of their evaluation as possible on “objective” tests, such as midterm and final exams, papers and reports. Group projects and presentations are useful as well, but it is
26
a good idea to combine them with individual exercises to make sure there is an objective basis for each individual student’s grade.
Class participation is essential to the case method of instruction and it therefore makes sense that class participation is an important part of students’ grades.
Professors can use any evaluation scale they wish, be it letter grades1, a 100-point scale, a 10-point scale, etc. It is important, however, that the scales used permit the relative positioning of students vis-à-vis one another.
Grade Distribution
Once the professor has assigned component grades and computed overall grades based on the criteria laid out in the Course Program, we ask for the assignment of letter grades that are fitted as best as possible to the following grade distribution system:
Outstanding (A) Top 5% of the class
With merit (A-) Next 15% of the class
Good (B+) Next 25% of the class
Satisfactory (B) Next 35% of the class
Sufficient (B-) Next 15% of the class
Unsatisfactory (C+) Bottom 5% of the class
Unsatisfactory (C)
Penalization for failure to complete the coursework or prolonged class absence.
Academic Misconduct (F)
Penalization for academic misconduct or academic dishonesty.
1 Using letter grades for individual assignments bears some risks that have caused problems in the past. Because individual assignment grades are usually not curved, the average grade of multiple (un-curved) assignments and the final (curved) letter grade for the course may diverge widely. If a student receives only B’s on individual assignments, for example, but “B” is the lowest grade given on those assignments, she may end up at the bottom of the class and thus receive a C+ overall (see below). Explaining to a student why a series of B’s led to a C+ can be quite a challenge. This has happened to multiple colleagues. We therefore recommend using numeric component grades rather than letter grades or otherwise clearly explain to students the difference between un-curved component grades and curved final grades.
27
Only in extreme cases should student receive a grade of A or C. Whereas an A indicates truly exceptional work, a student may receive a C as a penalization for unacceptable behavior in a class, such as continuous absence, not turning in assignments.
We ask professors that they inform the Program Management Team as soon as possible if a student fails to attend class or performs exceptionally poorly. Such “early warnings” are especially important in the first term of the program as students might often not be aware of their poor performance. For more information about this topic please contact the Program Director.
We would also like to invite you to use the Grade Center. Studentz value enormously receiving feedback for each of the pieces of work they have done and the grade center is a great way to give it to them. Many professors use it and they really appreciate it. For more information on this matter, please see the Professors’ Technology Manual.
6.1.2 During the class:
All the IE classrooms are equipped with a multimedia computer that allows professors and students to make presentations during the class.
IE provides all professors with a virtual campus tool, an Online Campus which allows access to information, communication with students and to the various services provided by IE. For more information on this matter, please see the Professors’ Technology Manual.
The programme management suggests that professors should control student attendance and notify the programme secretaries (it is of great help to have photocopies of the class plan to indicate the absences and leave them with the secretary at the end of the class).
The sessions last 80 minutes. It is important to finish on time so that students can stretch their legs or go to the bathroom.
6.1.3 After the class:
Where necessary, students expect professors to be able to see them occasionally outside class times; e-mail may be sufficient to clear up a doubt. Establishing tutorial hours or appointments with students is also an option. Adjunct professors and visiting professors who need a place at IE for these purposes can make their request through Beatriz Díaz ([email protected]).
6.2 Online sessions
Online training at IE is now a consolidated reality with international recognition. Currently we offer a wide range of blended masters, as well as open
28
programmes, in-company courses, doctorate programmes and online optional programmes, among others.
The online method reproduces the format of the in-class sessions, where all the students on the programme interact with each other and with the professor by taking an active part in debates and solving practical cases.
There are two types of online session:
Asynchronous online sessions: these are held over several days, with messages being exchanged in the discussion forums.
Synchronous online sessions: videoconferencing is used to hold a one and a half hour live session.
Professors should consult the programme director about the structure of the programme, since some involve asynchronous online sessions (forums) and
For more information on this subject, please see the Professors’ Guide to Online Sessions.

In regards to the new General Tax Law (Law 58/2003), the corresponding certificate specifically issued by the Tax Agency confirming that you are up-to-date with your tax responsibilities (form C01) that has a period of validity of 12 months, effective from the issue date, and that must be renewed after expiration..
The invoices will be sent to Isabel Armada ([email protected])
The billing system chosen, as individual person or legal entity must be maintained throughout the school year.
For foreign professors without Spanish tax residence:
The original TAX RESIDENCE CERTIFICATE as long as there is a double tax bilateral agreement (see annex 1) which will exempt the corresponding retention for foreigners (currently 24%), and that will be applied in the absence of such document.
For details on payment for sessions, the Dean’s Office draws up information on current rates, terms and other matters on an annual basis.

This ID is recognized as an investigator ID at the National Library of Spain, allowing them to access all of their services and holdings. The libraries belonging to the Madroño consortium make available –with their standard restrictions of use and loan– around three million specialized works as a complement to its holdings. For obtaining this ID you just have to ask for it on your usual library.
Madroño consortium makes easier the interlibrary loan system because it uses an own post service between universities.
IE Library keeps a collection of documentation that is made up of: Academic journals (over 65.000 printed and electronic journals), Databases, Collections of e-journals and Webs (over 130 titles), E-books (over 68.000 titles), Press online, multimedia resources (is possible to access more than 3.000 titles, between the resources contained at the catalogue and those who are reachable by other resources), and the printed collection (about 40.000 titles), etc.

Providing practical information about the new environment: IE, Madrid, Spain.
Handling the Student Permit" (for non-EU students and their family members) and/or the Certificate of Registration or communitarian residence card (for EU students and their family members).
Providing information on legal topics of special importance regarding foreign residents and immigration (for example, authorisation to work as a student, return permit, etc).
Support with accommodation, medical insurance, mobile phones, lease agreements.
Helping students to adapt in their new environment and work in a multicultural setting.
All this information is also available for professors.

11. An IE professor's commitments As part of their teaching activity at IE, all professors must comply with a
number of duties, which also correspond to our students' rights.
Besides those already mentioned in this guide, such as the following:
Sending restrictions in time
Not causing class changes
Submitting the programmes and documentation in the stipulated terms
We consider that the following points also help achieve the academic excellence we all pursue:
The professor must establish and inform his students at the beginning of the course about objective and reasonable assessment criteria (the value of class participation, group work, written exams, etc.). The relative weight of the said criteria shall comply with the educational philosophy at IE, transferred to each professor through the corresponding area directors.
The professor must assume responsibility in avoiding situations that may create student mistrust of assessment processes. Some of these practices, which are essential, include not repeating the same examination with different sections unless the test is carried out at the same time; appropriately invigilating the examination; or immediately solving any situation that may lead to certain students learning about the content of the examination in advance. It is also necessary to explicitly tell students when they can share solutions to practical cases or examinations. With regard to preparing class work and reports, students must be required to quote the sources they have used.
When students take part in the writing of a practical case or a technical note, the student's author or co-author must be included. Furthermore, the work must have the levels of quality required by IE. The encoding of the document shall require the student's written authorisation. This authorisation must be signed after graduation in order to guarantee the student's complete autonomy.
Students must receive the results of their assessments within the time set by the corresponding programme director. The professor must send the marks to the programme director, who shall be responsible for checking that they comply with assessment criteria
43
(statistical distribution of marks) and for publishing the marks (notification to students). Failure to fulfil the established terms is looked upon as a serious lack of consideration for our students.
Professors are obliged to keep the assessment tests of their students for a term of no less than two teaching months in case they are required at a later date.
Professors must provide students with a revision of their examinations when a student so requests. Together with the Programme Director, the Office of the Vice Dean of Academic Planning shall warn the Professor of the possible consequences of modifying the said assessment in the student's academic records. Under no circumstances may a professor modify the student's mark on his own account. In case of conflict, the Office of the Vice Dean of Academic Planning shall constitute a committee of professors to take the final decision on the student's assessment, which, in this case, shall be irrevocable.
The Professor shall be available to attend students' requests and queries outside the classroom, even when the course has ended. Accordingly, IE provides all its professors with an e-mail address and physical space at IE, with rooms available for adjunct and visiting professors.
Professors must be strictly punctual when starting and ending their classes.
Professors must treat students with absolute respect. Discrimination based on race, culture, religion, ideology or gender is unacceptable, as well as references or comments that may be interpreted as such.
Professors must collaborate with the final assessment of students by attending the boards of examiners constituted for this purpose.
