Some videotape will also be used. Students will be asked to meet in small groups to discuss material, reach conclusions, present opinions, and defend those opinions in class. Because of class size, each student may not have an active speaking role every class. However, each student will have had the opportunity to discuss opinions within the small groups that will be used to discover and elaborate on the material given during class.
The lecture period will, to some extent, be based on two-way communications. It is expected that the students will be contributing with questions and examples from their own business experience. A slightly informal setting is to be used.
