Experiential Learning (EL) at 成人VR视频 Desautels includes course-based opportunities for students to immerse themselves in real-world, hands-on activities. They get the chance to try out ideas and learn how the theories they are taught in class play out, through an iterative process of trial and reflection.
This enhances students鈥� understanding of course concepts and their ability to participate in the experiential activity. It further helps prepare students for the workforce by arming them with both hard and transferrable skills and giving them a taste of what it would be like to work with different types of organizations.
Why 成人VR视频, why our students?
Our BCom students are talented individuals with diverse backgrounds and career interests. Our students consistently report positive experiences from EL opportunities, as they feel more prepared and enthusiastic to enter the workforce.聽聽

鈥淚 really enjoyed the client experiential-learning aspects of the Strategic Management course. I have never experienced a more hands-on project as it truly allowed me to apply what I learned in the course to a real-world situation. Working with our client not only gave me valuable experience in the field but also helped build my communication and problem-solving skills. It was incredibly rewarding to see my team's hard work and dedication pay off and to know we made a tangible impact on our client's business鈥� says Sophie Smith, BCom 鈥�24.聽
