Face to Face (except #1 session)
Since this course is Introduction to Operations Management, it will be delivered mainly through lectures so the students can grab the basic knowledge of Operations Management. However, we have several case discussions. When the case is discussed, we are less concerned with “right” or “wrong” answers. Therefore, students are expected to participate in building their discussion skills. Assignment feedback will be made in class.
