The structure of the lectures at IAU allows for shared experiences within the classroom, which was very useful, as many students come to IAU from all over the world. The teaching methods of the lectures are very appropriate and easy to understand, which fits working adults and distance learning students.
Corporate Strategic Planning and Organizational Behavior are among the classes that were most beneficial for me. In the classroom, we discussed case studies to help relate the knowledge we’d gained to its real-world applications.
