Teaching Philosophy
|
|
To accommodate a wide variety
of learning styles among our students, the Faculty use many different
approaches to teaching. In the classroom you will have an opportunity
to work in groups, to design and carry out management projects, to analyze
business situations using case analyses, to make individual and group
presentations using various visual aids, and to work in computer laboratories.
Here are a few examples.
- In
the introductory class in management one group ran a dinner dance and
raised over $1300 for a scholarship fund in memory of a student's uncle
who died in the World Trade Center disaster. Another group hosted a
holiday party for children with special needs and a third group ran
an informational session at the college about the need for organ donations.
Semester after semester students say that these "hands-on"
activities make learning fun and personally rewarding.
- In many courses, in addition
to reading a textbook, you will read stories about problems that real
managers face in real companies. You then get to play the role of manager,
department head, VP or CEO. You tell the class how you would handle
the situation and you listen to how your classmates would handle the
situation. Lively discussions often ensue.
- In many courses you make
oral presentations to classmates. You may choose to use computer-based
programs such as PowerPoint or traditional visual aids such as overhead
transparencies to help you communicate your ideas.
Our classes are
small, generally with no more than 25 students per class. You will get to know
your teachers, and they will get to know you. We are here
to support your learning and development and to help you succeed.
