Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The first 3 weeks of the module will comprise of face-to-face, interactive lectures aimed at equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need to successfully complete the assessments, including how to work effectively in teams.In Week 2, you will be asked to independently set up teams composed of 4-5 students each. Subsequently, the teams shall select a company and deploy the knowledge background acquired during the programme. In week 4, a 15 minute (i.e.10 minutes for delivering the presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A and verbal feedback). The Team Presentation will be instrumental in introducing: (1) the company you have selected and its historical development; (2) the problem that your research will address; (3) the management specialism that will be used to inform your analysis; (4) three key pieces of relevant literature; and (5) the Workplan that the team has set up to complete the Report. The Captsone Report will build on the work done for the Team Presentation and the continuous feedback received after its delivery.Students will be supported by regular engagement with their supervisor, especially from the end of lectures in week 3.The Capstone Project is a group-based project which is managed by the group and supported through supervision by a member of academic staff and guidance provided via the dedicated Moodle site.The Capstone Project runs for MBA LP, MBA EM, and MBA SPM. Depending on the cohort, the module can last 2 trimesters or only 1. Specifically, in the 2-trimester delivery mode: the module will run in alternative weeks.
