This overview details the innovative approaches adopted in the CBS programs to improve student learning and engagement. Through the implementation of continuous assessment strategies, including weekly low-stakes MCQ tests and online feedback mechanisms, we aim to reduce the number of underperforming students and enhance the learning experience. Key initiatives include a shift from traditional end-of-module exams to a portfolio assessment approach in Business Research Methods and the use of electronic voting systems for real-time feedback in lectures.
