Presenting selected business topics over the course of three presentations: one short (8-12 minutes) prepared presentation, one longer (15-20 minutes) prepared presentation, as well as one shorter (8-12 minutes) unprepared presentation.

Each of the two prepared topics can be chosen by the student with the approval of the instructor. The final ad-hoc presentation will be on a given business topic on the basis of a background article provided by the instructor and a total preparation time of 75 minutes.

Full attendance is obviously recommended, but participants can miss a maximum of one session if absolutely necessary. Should they be scheduled to present in that session, they will have to give their presentation in another meeting.

With the exception of the class on Wednesday, 23 December 2026, classes will be held in person & on campus. The class on 23 December 2026 will take place virtually via Microsoft Teams (details to follow in the course of the first session).
