Integrated Classes
We’ve started into the final phase of the first semester, the integrated component. This is where we start taking bits and pieces from all of the separate classes and putting them together to solve bigger, real-life problems. This week has been about Risk Management. We’ve touched topics like accounting and fraud, company reputation, foreign exchange, and tomorrow we’re going to look at new product development.
All of our individual class exams are done, but that only covers about 30% of our total mark. The remainder is an integrated case exam and group work. In this last month, we still have 60% of our marks remaining. Currently our group is focusing on a large project called simply the “Company Project”. We pick a public company, and have to write a lengthy report supporting either a Buy, Hold or Sell position on their stock, similar to a stock analyst’s report.
So things will remain busy as the countdown to the end of term approaches.
