This module will be delivered via:
- One 1-hour lecture per week.
- One 2-hour interactive seminars per week.
- Meetings with the module leader.
In the Spring/Summer term, students will meet with the module leader to go through the requirements for the module. At least one of these meeting should be on a one-to-one basis.
Students will also be given support, tailored according to their individual needs, on how to conduct basic statistical analysis of company performance. Students should start selecting the company for the coursework and drafting the report plan during the Spring/Summer term.
In the Summer term, students will be submitting their first piece of coursework, the report plan, and writing up their final report.
Sessions will be devoted to probing, extending and applying the material in the readings. It is the students' responsibility to be prepared for each session as detailed in the module handbook.
Students are expected to contribute to class discussions. To do well, they should actively participate in presentations and class discussions, which means making well supported, cogent comments and criticisms about the concepts and analyses that are being presented.
Students are required to read the appropriate reading materials for each session prior to the class, prepare for any exercises given and attend the sessions.
