Description of the teaching methods | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The participants are introduced to methodological and practical concepts in modern corporate finance using various pedagogical methods. The course design is aimed at reflecting finance in today’s digital world, both in terms of the teaching approach and the teaching material. For example, classical class teaching is supplemented by digital learning tools, such as online quizzes and numerous topical and problem oriented videos. This will further be complemented by readings and discussions of practical applications of the course material and real-life dilemmas faced by modern corporations. Overall this should provide participants with experience in implementing financial concepts and providing concrete financial recommendations in modern corporations | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Feedback during the teaching period | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Student feedback will occur regularly throughout the course, e.g. via exercise classes, office hours and in-class problem solving. Students are encouraged to make use of those to enhance their learning experience, of course in addition to regular participation and two-way communication in lectures. The teacher will also strive to be readily available for a one-to-one dialogue in both lecture breaks and following each lecture session. The teacher will also provide feedback to the entire class following individual student requests, in particular as the examination draws closer. Open forums of smaller groups will be held where the teacher takes student questions and provides feedback of the course material. Lastly and not least, several unannounced quizzes will be held in class, such that both the teacher and the students can continuously assess the individual performance throughout the course. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
