6. Academic Integrity
Consultation
Beyond Class hours, you may interact with me through video call/conference via Skype. However, send a mail of prior information on timing at pksahu@ximb.ac.in. I am also available for consultation outside class hours on my course scheduled days.
Pedagogy
The course objectives will be achieved by using a combination of lectures, class interactions, case analysis, assignment discussions and experiential activities.
The focus is on your learning and experiencing IR so that when you are in the industry you are very strong in IR. Hence assignments are to be done sincerely and mere copying will definitely be detected and not expected. Manual of Policies may be referred for general details abetting another student’s dishonesty; giving false information for the purpose of gaining credits; and resorting to free-riding in group projects.
