Teaching methods
Various strategies are employed to facilitate learning and enhance understanding among students. We shall have interactive lessons, where students are not just passive recipients of information but actively engage with the material through discussions, group activities, and hands-on projects. This encourages critical thinking and allows for a deeper exploration of topics.
We shall incorporate quizzes within the classroom setting to serve as an effective reinforcement tool. By administering quizzes, the progessor can assess students' comprehension in real-time and provide immediate feedback, fostering a more dynamic learning environment.
Moreover, Interactions between students and professors is essential in creating an open atmosphere for inquiry. These interactions can take the form of question-and-answer sessions, office hours, or informal discussions, promoting a collaborative educational experience that encourages students to seek clarification and express their ideas confidently.
There will be discussion of business cases, which allows students to analyze real-world scenarios. This approach helps students apply theoretical concepts to practical situations, fostering a better understanding of business principles in action and developing their analytical skills.
We plan to have company profile presentations involving multiple companies to enhance students' learning experiences. By researching and presenting on different firms, students can gain insights into diverse industry practices, corporate strategies, and unique challenges faced by businesses. This method not only promotes teamwork and presentation skills but also provides a broader perspective on the business landscape, enriching the overall educational experience.
These didactic methods collectively aim to create an engaging and impactful learning environment, equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary for their academic and professional journeys.
