Learning and Teaching Methods: The MBA Learning Methods are geared towards active learning rather than lecturing. Active Learning has been proven to have much better student results than simple lecturing. The average attention span is longer and the percentage of the information retained is much higher. The substance of the method is to involve students to do the ‘things’ and think about the ‘things’ they do. The tools to be used in active learning are: Think – Pair – Share method, Muddiest Point, Case Studies, Projects, Personal Response Systems, Simulations, Role Playing, Concept Mapping, Problem Based Learning and Service Learning method.
