Abstract: | The authors describe a component of Babson College’s master of science in accounting program that links a technical analysis course with writing and oral communication courses to provide students with skills necessary to efficiently manage group-centered projects and effectively communicate technical information. Initial quantitative and qualitative results suggest that student outcomes are positive. The authors believe that their pedagogy can also be applied in other technical fields such as economics, engineering, statistics, and other quantitative disciplines. |
