A “knowledge spillover” from our Independent Study in Business and Management course got published!

Our former student, Danuta Gruszka, in collaboration with our team member, Ana Godonoga have published a reflection article exploring how students in Polish universities experienced the transition to distance learning during the COVID-19 outbreak. We are proud to see Danuta’s research results disseminated beyond the classroom.

When asked about her reflection on the course, Danuta mentioned:

“I have learned a lot about research strategies and techniques. I wish more universities would encourage their students to work on research to get it published or at least disseminated in some way to a larger audience.”
