The "open" class is conducted by Economics faculty students
At universities instead of tests, begin to spread widely “open” class-slide show presentations, in which students from different courses, lecturers and representatives from administrative staff participate. This time the "open" class-test was in the framework of the "Adoption of Managerial works" subject, by the lecturer and author of the initiative, Hayas Hakobyan.Conducting the test in such a way, gives students an opportunity to manage the materials of the course wholly, because each presentation includes several full topics.This form of test is effective, because students, following the work of others, also learn other subjects just during the test.
