Oral and written group work

30%

• Sometimes students do not take groups'work seriously and rather "delegate" their task to others. Those who work should,therefor, be rewarded accordingly

Individual work

20%

• A team mindset is key to go through the course as the cases are pretty intense in terms of information and key concepts to acquire. Only a real team work will achieve successful outcomes

Team Mindset
