- Teaching
The teaching and learning methods of the standard program are applied diversely to help learners achieve the output standards of the program in terms of knowledge, skills, autonomy and responsibility. The teaching and learning methods applied in the program include 16 main methods according to the following table:
|
No |
Teaching methods | Description |
| 1. | Lecture | This method is conducted by instructors or guest speakers, delivering basic knowledge (theory and real-world examples). |
| 2. | Reading comprehension | – Textbook reading: The teacher assigns a group of students to read the content for the next lectures, presenting main ideas to the rest of the class.
– Case reading: Students read and answer questions related to specific cases. – News reading: Students are tasked with reading news articles on a given topic and submitting periodic summaries. |
| 3. | Group discussion | Students come up with ideas and present the findings of the research problem to the group. |
| 4. | Presentation | Assign topics to student groups to research and present to the rest of the class. |
| 5. | Reports/Projects (individual or group) | Students are assigned to do a report or assignment on a certain issue (in groups or individually). Then, students present their reports/assignments to the class. |
| 6. | Debate | Students debate different viewpoints on a topic. |
| 7. | Dialogue | Teachers prepare questions related to the subject; Teachers guide students to gain knowledge through general discussion in class or small groups. |
| 8. | Seminar | Teachers prepare seminar topics related to the subject; Students prepare and present seminars on an individual or group basis. |
| 9. | Problem-based learning | – Simulation: Use technology (computer, software) to simulate a real event.
– Case study: Instructors present real-life situations related to the learning content that are used to discuss and find potential solutions to the situations. |
| 10. | Project-based learning | The lecturer raises questions/requests for students to develop a plan for the project. Students are assigned to carry out projects on an individual or group basis. |
| 11. | Role-Playing | Teachers prepare “scripts” with content related to the subject; Some students are assigned roles to perform the “scenario”. The remaining students act as spectators and evaluators. |
| 12. | Documentary films | Teachers prepare documentaries related to the subject and the system of questions; – Students watch the film, then answer questions on an individual or group basis. |
| 13. | Field trips | Teachers organize to take students on field trips to a place far from the normal learning environment (business, agency, etc.) |
| 14. |
Mentoring |
Students are assigned to other students for support. |
| 15. | Coaching | Teachers train, tutor, and provide special assistance to students having difficulty in the course. |
| 16. | Games | Students play games to grasp concepts or skills. |
Teaching and learning can be done in the form of face-to-face teaching and learning, technology-based teaching and learning (e-learning) on the platforms MS Teams, Zoom, Google classroom… and self-study.
2. Assessment method
Assessing student learning outcomes is the process of recording, storing and providing information about learners’ progress throughout the teaching process. The assessment ensures clear, accurate, objective and differentiated principles, regularly and periodically. Specific requirements and assessment criteria are designed and announced to learners before studying. Assessment information is provided and shared promptly with relevant parties, from which timely adjustments are made to teaching activities, ensuring orientation and achieving teaching goals.
The Accounting – Auditing program applies a variety of assessment methods. Depending on the output standards and teaching-learning methods of each course, appropriate assessment methods are selected to ensure adequate information is provided to evaluate students’ progress as well as the effectiveness achievement of the teaching and learning process.
The main assessment methods for formative assessment include class discussion; homework; present; fast test; classroom feedback; essay/summary…
Summative assessment methods (midterm, final) include short answer; Multiple-choice; Essay; Report; Field/practice; Project; Presentation; Case studies; Questions and Answers…
In the program, rubrics are used for some subjects, exercises, presentations, written tests, reports… to help students know what expectations in each assessment criterion are.
3. Method of calculating points
Students are evaluated on a 10-point scale, converted to A, B, C, D, F according to the training regulations developed by the university, based on Regulation No. 08/2021/TT-BGDDT dated March 18, 2021 of the Ministry of Education and Training and Decision No. 409/QD-DHNT-QLDT dated May 8, 2009 of Foreign Trade University. Specifically:
– A 10-point scale is used to evaluate the course including component scores, final exam scores and course scores. The course score is equal to the sum of the component scores multiplied by the corresponding weights.
– The letter grade scale is used to classify learning results based on course scores.
– A 4-point scale is used when calculating the semester GPA and cumulative GPA to evaluate student learning outcomes.
| Classify | 10 score scale | Letter scale | Scale 4 | |
| Obtain | Excellent | From 8.5 to 10 | A | 4 |
| Good | From 7.0 to 8.4 | B | 3 | |
| Average | From 5.5 to 6.9 | C | 2 | |
| Pass | From 4.0 to 5.4 | D | 1 | |
| Not achieved | Fail | Less than 4.0 | F | 0 |
