The format of each semester is divided into 4 months and 2 months. With 4 months focused on theoretical and academics and 2 months on practical internships.
Each subject has 10 lectures each where 4 units are covered in addition to case studies, assignments, tests and group presentations
This is covered in 4 months, followed by exams
The next two months are internships where students get to explore their various interests through internships and learn about how the corporate world works
Exams are conducted at the end of the semester, prior to the start of the internships.
The exams are focused on theoretical parts as well as practical knowledge on the subject, with questions on the subject, short notes and case studies to understand the practical application of the subject
The exams help in gaining insight into how much the subject is understood by students and what additionally can be covered using internships.
Exams help in deeper understanding of the various subjects.
Assignments on various theoretical aspects of each subject are provided, on the basis of the concepts taught or a new topic which should be researched on
The assignments vary from subject related theoretical questions about the papers and can go up to various practical aspects of the paper, from understanding the concept to further applying it or even developing it, as best possible
These assignments lead to higher brainstorming and creativity from individuals and they can develop the way they think about a paper and the various aspects of the subject as well. Higher research and understanding takes place as we do these assignments and a learning of new things or things from the news are better understood.
Further feedback on the assignments, also helps in analysing the issues or positives of our answers and can develop into something practical as we further do internships or corporate jobs.
Presentations in various subjects and joint projects helps in understanding how to keep the audience interested in what you are trying to express, make sure you keep that attention for long term and the information should be put across in a clear and concise way.
This is exactly the focus on multiple presentations at Athena!
To enhance the way we put the information across, pitch an idea or have an interactive presentation
This also helps in working with teams with different kinds of individuals and understanding how to best put the presentation across with everyone’s personal strengths and weaknesses
Working with people from various backgrounds, age, gender helps in gaining exposure you would not otherwise!
Presentations also help in making a mundane class more interesting and have interesting brainstorming discussions
Competitions also lead to more efforts being put, leading to building on the competitive spirit and using it to enhance creativity and make better projects.
Case studies are used to have practical exposure and analysis of various real life situations that have previously happened or hypotheticals, which help in understanding how to deal with situations that come up and how to further build on a situation strategically.
These case studies prove to add to our knowledge about how to use the theoretical aspects of a subject and use it in a practical way, when situations come up.
Case studies also lead to much more discussion between groups and different point of views come ahead which could also be solutions.
Group work is essential to build teamwork skill - set, as well as leadership in every individual. We do various group projects and COIL projects at Athena to build our technical and practical skill-set, and it helps us understand how to work with different types of people when we work together.
Another major part of group work is finding a time to work together which involves understanding time management and additionally a pace that works for everyone.
