INSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY
AND ACADEMIC EVALUATION
The faculty’s main objective is to assist the student to develop
qualities and internalise values, which are required for
effective leadership of organisations. As this involves more
than a mere learning of specific theories and tools, different
teaching methods (appropriate to the skills to be developed),
such as case studies, simulated games, group discussions,
small group seminars, and “laboratory” exercises are used.
The student’s attendance and participation in class are
essential.
While class room interaction aims at developing a wide
knowledge base, the students are encouraged to analyse,
anticipate, innovate and otherwise prepare themselves for a
challenging professional career.

motivate all students towards excellence. The system seeks
this objective primarily by keeping students continually
informed of their performance in relation to the required
standards of academic achievement. The responsibility of
performance however, is entirely up to the student.

participation, presentations, projects, mid-term tests and
