Learning methods & Evaluations
Learning methods:
Most courses in the EMiF program are delivered by alternating between lectures, case studies, exercises, simulations, applications, group work, and in-class presentations. Most courses require preparation before class: reading case studies or articles, answering preparatory questions, or solving a pre-class assignment. In the last module (the Capstone module), the participants select a project in each of the applied topics on which they will work during the module and communicate it to the course instructor.
In the second part of the program, each participant chooses a tutor (supervisor) from the HEC Paris faculty to work on a professional thesis. The thesis gives participants the opportunity to specialize in a particular topic by applying what they have learned during the program on an original individual project. In this process they capitalize on the input and guidance of faculty and field experts from the world of finance who act as tutors.
Evaluations:
Participants are evaluated along multiple dimensions: group work write-ups or presentations on projects or case studies, quizzes, in-class or take-home exercises, quizzes, multiple-choice questionnaires, final exams, post-class analyses, and class participation. The weights instructors choose among all these dimensions vary with each class.
