Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| 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. |
Assessment Information
Students are to submit 4 reports based on 4 cases.
Each report accounts for 25% of the overall mark - with 20% of this mark given to the report itself and 5% to the presentation of the report to the class. |
