Class attendance and participation, class assignments and mid-term test scores are considered as components in the grading.

               The grades from each course, a few of which can also be non-examination accumulate towards the total credit requirement for MBA which is set at 96 credits.

The grading system is as follows:

               Participants are required to obtain an overall minimum of B in the programme and a mininum of C average in each quarter. Participants who have scored one F grade and two D grades at any stage in the programme may be asked to withdraw from the programme. 

Teaching Methods

           The faculty will make extensive use of lectures, seminars, field trips, group projects and independent research. In the functional areas of management, considerable use will be made of the case method. The case method is an effective means of developing the power of analysis and judgment essential to the manager. Wherever appropriate, case material that reflect the problems, habits, customs and tradition of doing business peculiar to Myanmar will be used.
