Assessment

Courses will be assessed through a variety of methods including papers, presentations, take-home exams and group work with an emphasis on integrated assignments that help students understand how to put into practice the various components of effective management and social impact delivery.

The entrepreneurial project will be assessed through a mixture of group presentations, creation of a business proposition and an extended essay.
