Problem solve

Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies

Problem solving is developed through scenario planning, case study analysis, analysis of theory and its implication to practice, analysis of HR data and its use in describing, visualising and prescribing HR issues, and through interaction with HR practitioners. This will be a central component in all taught modules.

Methods of Assessment

A variety of continuous assessment elements, both individual and group –based, including oral presentations, independent research, case study analysis, scenario planning, practical simulations, individual reflections and class tests, dissertation/ consultancy project.
These component will test the students‟ ability to reason logically and evaluate the most appropriate solution from a range of alternatives.
