Contents:

Practical application of research-based theory discussed in detail in the other courses of the Specialization in the form of, for example, roleplays, group work, and presentations.
Learning Outcomes:

Students will be able to do the following after successfully completing the course:

- prepare an agenda for meetings, negotiations, etc.
- prepare reports
- prepare press releases
- prepare clean, persuasive slides
- organize and chair meetings
- give well-structured, audience-appropriate presentations
- deal with questions and criticism effectively and adequately
 

 
Attendance requirements:

As this is a class held in a PI format, attendance is required at least 80% of the time, but - in particular given the hands-on character of this class - recommended for the entirety of the course. The same applies should the class have to be held online.
Teaching/learning method(s):

This course will be held in a highly interactive format and will follow the various challenges - both internal and external - faced by a fictitious Austrian company. In the process, students will form teams to tackle these hurdles and present their ideas to the rest of the group as well as a raft of external stakeholders. This will include, among other things, the following tasks:

- preparing, executing, and briefing others on meetings
- drafting an effective message with pertinent visuals to communicate findings
- giving constructive feedback
- reflecting of the efficacy of one's own communication

The class will include roleplays, group work, presentations, and other activities.

 

 
Assessment:

Criteria for assessment comprise the following (percentage of overall grade in parentheses):

- presentation

  • group work: diligent preparation of slides (20%)
  • effective delivery (30%)

- written communication, such as report or press release (20%)

- periodic assessment (review quizzes) (20%)

- active participation (10%)

Appropriate language use will be the underlying criterion to the extent that it has an impact on the effectiveness of communication. Thus, while this is not a language class as such, correct grammar and spelling will inevitably be taken into account.
Prerequisites:

Course 1 ("Key Concepts") of the Specialization must have been completed successfully. Courses 2-4 are not technically required, but it is strongly recommended that students have attended at least two of those classes.
