Description
Teaching business courses at extended campuses raises three main problems: a shortage of time available to students; the quality of academic skills of the student body; the relevancy of course material which syllabi and course outlines make mandatory. The author makes several recommendations to alleviate these problems.
Lastly, the role of professors is viewed from the perspective of a communication model. As experts in their respective fields, PhDs act as knowledge-transmitting mechanisms. Students play the role of receptors, which are the creators of individual learning. To facilitate this communication process between teachers and students, the paper suggests systematic research into learning behavior at extended campuses.
