Teaching Methods

IoBM has been, and continues to aim at harnessing the best researched and the most widely implemented methods of dissemination of information to support excellence in teaching, learning and research. Multifaceted teaching strategies at IoBM include cooperative learning, directed class discussions and activities in critical thinking.

  • The case method of instruction continues to be a significant classroom teaching strategy at IoBM so as to integrate best practices with management theory.

  • Field based learning encourages students to complement their conceptual knowledge with off-campus learning experiences that deepen their understanding of business issues.

  • Research based assignments under the supervision of trained faculty aim to hone the research skills of students and maximize participant-centered learning experiences by exploring specific topics of interest related to real business situations.

  • Specially-designed classrooms reinforce instruction through multimedia technology.

  • Understanding being the purpose of instruction, the process of assessment at IoBM is more than just evaluation. It is a substantive contribution to learning that aims to identify gaps in student learning. IoBM’s approach to learning is rooted deeply in assessment that fosters understanding and is more than an end-of-the-semester test. It informs students and faculty about what students currently understand and how to proceed with subsequent teaching and learning.
