3.4 Course Schedule

This course is divided into two parts:

Part 1: Teaching Rounds (Weeks 1-4)

The first four weeks of class are called ‘teaching rounds.’ During this time, students work on their portfolio components, discover their leadership skills, learn more about their teammates and brush up on their marketing skills. These four weeks prepare them for the live client projects.

Part 2: Employer Rounds – Live Client Projects (Weeks 5-15)

The live client projects are the experiential learning components of the course. Students work intensively on their projects in student teams and apply lessons learned from the course and the other courses in their program. Through the guidance of the course instructor, students work on client projects, taking them to the final stages of delivery and implementation.

These two projects will challenge students to collectively apply the knowledge they gained throughout their program to a live client project and work effectively in a team to deliver high-quality results. The purpose of an experiential learning project is to help them become ‘job-ready’ upon graduation.
