DetailsThe course syllabus was revised and emphasis was given to SMEs since majority of the students are start ups or small business entrepreneurs. Additional information like external linkages were provided to guide the students after the course to allow them to continue and sustain their desire to realize their plans and see them into action.

More DetailsDiscuss with course coordinator about plans to update the Course Outline to keep it dated taking into account current issues relevant to present global sales environment. This will be presented to the team (dept. chair, course coordinator and other faculty who might be teaching the same course in the future). Another area to work on is the student learning outcomes that will effectively measure students' learning on top of the usual direct observation and short workshops in class. Probably once enrollment is 100% automated, students should be required to log in to their school accounts and read their pre-course assignment. This way, they can come to class with an output that we can use as pre-assessment tool to be compared to the output they will produce after the course.
