This is an intensive course that will require students to prepare for the classes before and between the intensive class days. The teaching methods include readings, active learning, class discussions, short lectures and (critical) reflection of students' past and current experiences with work practices and organisations. These learning methods have been designed to foster the following meta competences: complex problem solving, critical thinking, people management, coordinating with others and cognitive flexibility.
Please notice that there is a compulsory pre-assignment (including reading) before the first class. Instructions with a reading list will be sent to students as soon as class seats are confirmed after the new Master students’ orientation days (around 20 August, 2021).
The reading list will be on Course Moodle.The literature for the pre-assignment will be given when instructions are sent on 20 - 23 August, 2021).
Course themes relate to students’ work and their organisations
