Case-study-based learning is an essential tool in Management education, especially in decision-making and leadership courses. This is of utmost importance in the context of emergency due to Covid-19, where online training is essential and which does present a challenge in its assessment. This paper presents a summative co-assessment approach to a case-study-based Management course, which involves self-assessment as well as the evaluation of the instructor, with the aim to improve the engagement of the students by involving them in their own assessment. With the aim to measure the acquirement of these competences by the students with the resolution of case-studies, this study was carried out as part of a third year course on the subject of Strategic Business Management in the Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration taught in a Spanish Business School. This work attempts to fill the perceived gap in the literature on approaches that enhance the engagement of the students by using case-studies and co-assessment of not only the work performed but also of the skills acquired. It is our objective to demonstrate the validity of the proposed co-assessment approach.
