Teaching Methods
The Faculty of Business Administration is dedicated to making the teaching process and environment varied and student-centric in the delivery of the learning objectives of each course. Most of the courses are taught by a combination of pedagogical models including lectures, flipped classroom seminars, tutorials, workshops, and practice-based courses.
The aim of the lectures is providing students with overview and pointers of a topic and more important is enabling students to capture a way of thinking about the delivered subject. Lecturers are highly encouraged to use a range of audio-visuals to aid the process of meeting the learning objectives.
As part of teaching strategy, the Faculty expects students to use the material of flipped classroom before attending a lecture (being short video lectures, professional vignettes, etc...). Flipped classroom is a pedagogical model where students prepare at home and later when in the classroom the time is dedicated to projects, discussions, and in-class exercises.
The purpose of the seminars is to encourage students to get involved in face-to-face critical dialogue with the content that is covered by the lectures or flipped classroom sessions. This is a great academic support to get students of different competencies to get engaged into discussing those challenging points addressed in a previous lecture. In this way, students will become more confident in handling the framework of the delivered topic.
Workshops are part of a method that encourages students to participate in intensive discussion and activity on a particular subject or project. The form of delivery may vary from one topic to another; however, a common thread in the workshops is providing students with an opportunity to utilise collaboratively their skills in a context of professional application and teamwork.
Students of the Faculty of Business Administration are expected to get involved in project work in the second and third year of their study. The projects are credit bearing and are essential for students to become competent in utilizing their competencies in an integrated, professional, and teamwork environment. ACC, ECO, HRM, MIT, MGT, FIN, MKT, BUS 380 seminar courses are typical courses that involve project work as well as instances of group work. These and other courses of study allow you as a student to work independently or work in a group to develop your ideas with informed and researched framework.
