Students will work in teams and thus gain team-working experience. They will develop their problem-solving skills, firstly by attempting to solve the case questions themselves as a team, and then by analysing the case as a class and discussing strengths and weaknesses in each team's contributions. Teams will present their findings to the class on a rotating basis each week, thus providing students with the chance to practice presentation skills using the medium of their choice.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

Assessment Information

Students will work in teams of up to six students on each case, with team members assigned in the first week by the course organiser. Each case will be studied for two weeks. After the first week of work on each case, students will submit their own written work, based on team discussions, attempting to solve the questions behind the case. The second week will analyse these outputs, thus improving the students' skill for future case studies. The best four scores from five will contribute towards the assessed grade for the student.
