Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

The course consists of weekly lectures with reading assignments in every class. It is extremely important that you come prepared to class, having read the assigned material. Rather than spending excessive class time on lecturing, the module coordinator will assume that you learned what you could from the readings and will spend class time on discussions and activities aimed at clarifying and deepening your understanding of the issues.

You should approach this class as an independent and autonomous learner. The field of supply chain analytics is constantly evolving; your learning should be focused on becoming comfortable in dealing with new problems, techniques, and concepts without step-by-step guidance.

How will my Feedback be Delivered?

The module coordinator will give detailed feedback on individual assignments. Case studies and readings will be discussed in class to provide insight on how to improve the students' analytic and decision-making abilities. The module coordinator will provide written and oral feedback, both individually and to the whole group, for team assignments and presentations.
