  • Welcome to Business Presentations!

    • Sida icon

      This course is organized as a "flipped classroom," which means that you are expected to prepare for classes beforehand by watching input videos and reading input materials.

      During the course, you will find all necessary materials and information in MyCourses. Please make sure you receive emails from "Announcements", as all course messages will be sent through that forum.

      The information in these MyCourses pages is organized as follows:

      Schedule

      You can find the schedule on the course homepage, below this information. In it, you can see 

      a) what you are expected to do before coming to each class (in blue), and

      b) what we will do in class (in black)

      Assignment instructions and submissions

      You can find all assignment instructions and submission boxes in the "Assignments" folder (see left-hand side panel). Please submit all assignments by the given deadline, as late assignments will not be accepted.

      Materials that you need to study

      You can find all the materials that you are expected to study in the "Materials" folder (see left-hand side panel). 

      The materials are organized by week. Always study the materials for any given date before coming to class that day. We will not cover the information as such in class, as you will be expected to have studied it beforehand.  

      If you have any questions at any point, remember to ask!
