Learning Method
This course uses the students centred learning (SCL) paradigm. In this approach,
students are active learners to find and construct their own knowledge. The facilitator
serves only as a facilitator to help students achieve their learning objectives and develop
interpersonal skill (i.e. communication skills in the sense of arguing, reasoning, and
presenting). This course is a mixture of lectures, class-discussion, and presentation.
Therefore, you are expected to be ready with the topics to be discussed in class on each
session. Please read and prepare your assignments carefully before every session.
Because class time is our most precious and inelastic resource, please come to every
class prepared. Essential preparation includes reading the assigned readings and cases,
doing the assignments, and bringing these resources and materials to each class.

Learning activity
The learning activities in this course are conducted online and oMline, whether it is
synchronous or asynchronous. In synchronous learning, the interaction between
facilitator and the students could be direct in-person in the class or online through Zoom
Meeting. In the asynchronous learning, interaction between facilitator and the students
is conducted in eLOK to save learning materials, save the presentation slides, submit the
assignment, and discussion. You can access this course in eLOK (elok.ugm.ac.id) with
the following enrolment detail.

Mid-term and Final Exam. These two exams will be conducted to examine your
understanding of the concept and topics discussed each session.
Group presentation (GP) and assignment. In particular session, a group is assigned to
deliver their presentation on certain topics and cases for discussion for a maximum of 30
minutes. Class is divided into 6 groups. Each group is free to choose the case to be
presented in class with prior consultation to the facilitator. The case must be real and
recent, happened in Indonesia (preferable), and relevant to the topic discussed. The case
could be obtained from news, popular articles in magazine, or videos in television or
other social media. When consulting to facilitator, link to the source must be attached.
The case is analysed utilising the business and management concept: critically indicate
the alignment or the mismatch between theory and practice. Group that is scheduled to
deliver their presentation next will have to be the group that spark the discussion in class,
so they must prepare questions for discussion. Other students then must follow and
participate in discussion.
The case analysis consists of (1) Introduction – brief explanation of the case, (2)
Issue Identification – the main point discusses, (3) Analysis – critical, analytical, and (4)
Recommendation – the proposed problem solving and actions. This content is used for
presentation and group paper as the group assignment. For presentation, although slides
are not mandatory, each group must present their case and analysis in front of the class
as a stimulation for discussion. For the group assignment, each group must submit a
paper (minimum 5-page, 1.5 space, in formal academic style of Bahasa Indonesia). In
one semester, each group submit two group assignments on the day of the presentation.
The deadline for group assignment submission is at end of the class (approximately at
16:00 GMT) and the assignment is submitted to eLOK.
Individual participation and assignment. To foster a productive learning environment, it is
important that everyone come to class prepared and willing to contribute to discussion.
Ideally, you will make concise, insightful, and eloquent comments in every class.
However, I also recognize the importance of making smaller contributions, including
asking good questions. I believe that the learning environment is best when the
discussion is not dominated by a few but moved along incrementally by all of us. Points
for class participation will be based on facilitator’s notes on each session.
Individual assignment will be in the form of reflection paper to be submitted on
the final-term exam. Students choose their favourite (or maybe least favourite) topics
during the semester and then critically analyse the concept. The analysis could include
reflection regarding the gap between the theory and the practice, best practice, or
analogy to similar business/industry. The last part must exhibit students’ opinion for
improvements. The paper is written in formal, academic style of Bahasa Indonesia with a
maximum of 1,500 words excluding appendix and references.
