The exam will test the student’s ability to use
the knowledge gained through the course to solve particular
problems related to the overall themes. As it is not about learning
the texts by heart but rather understand and reflect on topics
covered the exam is an open book exam. It is made to simulate a
crisis situation in a company or organization where the student has
to come up with a solution to the problem, the solution will be
presented by the management at a press conference. To reflect the
focus on simulating reality the written output will consists of a 2
page executive summary and 8 powerpoint slides rather than the
usual 10 pages written material. |
