Improvement Details
| Details | One of the important aspects of green business is for the students to become aware of the news stories associated with the topic which are many and varied. The beginning of each lecture is devoted to the news and students have been encouraged to bring news stories and contribute. However it was difficult to get all students to participate and requiring stories from each student each week would require too much time in class so a process was developed to break the students into groups with some students required to bring stories each week. This vastly improved participation and learning outcomes |
