Course summary
This course aims to give undergraduates a broad exposure to applied social science, while allowing them to study social science and management issues within a non-professional educational context. Students will be able to link the disciplinary bases of management and administrative studies to their practical applications. It will develop a student's general abilities in the areas of written expression; linguistic skills; creative self-expression; capacity to analyze and interpret in a dispassionate and objective manner; capacity for reasoned criticism; data acquisition and analysis; research techniques; marshalling facts in support of arguments and evaluating the possible outcomes of alternative courses of action, with the emphasis varying according to the particular program chosen.
