Montpellier Business School and GSEM held joint classes

The day before, a number of joint Russian-French classes took place within the "International Monetary Relations" course. Lectures at two schools were performed jointly by the lecturer from Montpellier Business School, France, Li Li, and the lecturer of the GSEM programme "International Economics and Business" Alexander Ishukov.

Professor Li Li, an expert in the field of financial markets, noted the usefulness of this educational format, as well as an excellent opportunity to open various new teaching methods for each other.

«For many years, the Montpellier Business School has been one of the most active semester destinations abroad for our students. We are glad that this fruitful cooperation has reached a new level. The format of joint classes undoubtedly was in demand on both sides, which is why we will definitely continue its implementation and development to improve the quality of the educational process» - says Alexander Ishukov, “International Economics and Business” programme director's assistant.

In the classes, participants of the foreign exchange market, exchange rates and quotes, operations with foreign currency were comprehensively considered. The theoretical basis in practice was tested via virtual quizzes. Students of two schools actively interacted with each other in teams to make the right decisions on the case-study and calculation assignments:

Yuning Yang (Montpellier Business School student):

«This is an interesting interactive learning between school and school, and exchange of different opinions with more students from different cultural backgrounds».

Lilit Danielian (GSEM student):

«I like the lessons. It is a good idea to combine both theoretical and practical information, so that knowledge is much better consolidated. Everything was very interesting and the tasks were based on the theoretical material that was given in the lesson, so it was quite easy to follow the course of the lesson».
