The document discusses changes to the instructional methodology for Davenport University's MBA program. The changes aim to shift from an assignment-based approach to a topic-based learning forum model to encourage more student-centered, inquiry-driven learning. Under the new model, forums will make up 40% of grades and focus on research, analysis and peer interaction around broader topics. Reflection will also be a required 10% component to support the learning process. Guidelines are provided around forum expectations, assignments, and ensuring consistency across courses while allowing for instructor flexibility.
