Experiential Learning in Action with MGMT 201

Students from the Principles of Management (MGMT 201) class participated in an enriching and interactive event at Shaheed Park with their professor, Dr. Fahad Al-Khashti, lecturer of marketing at the College of Business and Economics. The event, organized under the theme of experiential learning, provided students with an opportunity to apply their management knowledge in a dynamic and engaging environment.

The students embarked on a guided exploration of the park, interacting with volunteers stationed at key locations. The volunteers, composed of students from Dr. Fahad’s senior classes, played a crucial role in facilitating the activity. Each volunteer group presented the students with management-related questions covering key topics from their coursework. Correct answers earned the participants clues, which they then solved to locate the next set of volunteers within the park. This sequential structure not only added an element of excitement but also reinforced their theoretical knowledge in a practical setting.

The event at Shaheed Park exemplified the integration of fun and learning. Through this initiative, students not only strengthened their understanding of management principles but also developed soft skills essential for their future professional endeavors.
