What to Expect as an Instructor:

• By the end of the semester, many students realize and are excited about how much they learned, but they also realize how much they have not learned. As a teacher you might find you did not have time to cover in detail all the information presented and to bring everything to a neat and clean conclusion. That is a major construct of the program. It is to have the student see the whole of business in all its complexity and to understand why they need the courses in accounting, economics, statistics, and the upper division core courses. It is the objective of the program to enhance critical thinking and to provide a framework for gathering future knowledge throughout their academic career.

It will take some effort to adopt the program to compliment your existing textbook or to adopt the entire program. The benefits are worthwhile. The learning for the student is immense. You should not be uncomfortable about using the technology or in using materials that delve deeply into areas in which you have not taught for some time (accounting, financial statements, finance, stocks, human resource management, international business, e-commerce, etc.).

AGV provides excellent support to instructors. For students the program offers mentors and on-line tutors. For the first few semesters, you can arrange AGV on-line tutorials for your students (locate a room which has a web linked computer with a projector or check with your library).

AGV also offers training sessions to professors both on site and online.
