Teaching/learning method(s)

The course includes three types of study processes. The exam requires students to learn information about several aspects of IHRM from the textbook. The group assignments require students to read more widely about the topics, to reflect on and to critically evaluate contemporary ideas from business and individual perspectives. Class sessions provide an opportunity for input by the class teacher and for students to learn from each other, and to debate the IHRM.
