Development of the course

The teaching method consists of introducing first the relevance of the topic, followed by the development of a theoretical construct and ends with problems and practical applications.

Learning outcomes

1. Student is made aware that the topics under discussion are significant and worth investigating.
2. At least one theoretical construct is required for an in-depth understanding of the phenomena at hand. In many instances, two contrasting hypotheses are presented and evaluated in terms of the data.
3. Problems and applications reinforce the importance of relevant theory for a better understanding of the “real” world.
4. Learning is an interacting process. Student comes to class having at his/her disposal the teaching material. Instructor emphasizes certain aspects of that material and solicits reactions from students, often with the use of examples. For problems and practical applications, students are asked to provide their solutions in front of the class.
