Business Policy Simulation and the Intense Course Structure

Abstract

" A business policy simulation/course was investigated under a normal term and under an intensive term schedule. Students enrolled in the same course under the two scheduling formats were surveyed regarding their perceptions of the academic content, instructor contact, likes and dislikes concerning the course. (Normal N=150; Intensive N27) Students in the normal term course more positively related to the integrative and practical aspects of the course, and a high proportion indicated no dislikes. Students in the test group or intensive term course strongly liked the course duration and Instructor. These students had more dislikes, especially that of working in groups. "
