Use of practical tasks

Description of the practice

The practice involves students having access to problems that have actually happened, learning by using tools that are used at leading companies dealing with the problems in question. Requiring students to carry out a project that forces them to use theoretical issues to perform practical tasks. Teaching theoretical knowledge alone for an exam misses the point, as most students do not remember this knowledge and never use it.

Key elements of practice

– replacing the exam with a project
– assignments based on “live” examples
– encouraging students to work independently
– showing interesting practical examples
– meetings with people from the industry
