Research and Practice on the Teaching Reform of Introduction to Economics and Management

Introduction to Economics and Management is a compulsory course for undergraduate students whose major is not Economics or Management at Beihang University. The course is also one of the key courses of the university. In this paper, we analyzed the status quo of the course, such as lack of textbook and normative lecture notes and simplicity of the teaching method. We put forward several suggestions such as elaborate course construction, writing of textbook, and construction of the course website. Furthermore, we introduced some efforts both in the course construction, say, compilation of problem sets and test bank, and teaching method reform practice of the course. These teaching methods include those of student-centered, incorporation of theory and application, heuristic teaching and case method.
