Teaching methods
The course is divided into six 4-hour blocks. At the beginning of every seminar students are familiarized with the theoretical basics, which are then trained in short (10-15 minutes) practical business conversations between students. Then the students and the instructor give feedback to colleagues The students inspire mutually and everybody tries to improve his/her weaknesses. First of all, we try to model real situations from practice which will enable students to start working in the real business world fast and easily
