Combine all three sections: Prepare a short decision memo for a fictional shop owner. Submit an original worked artifact, evidence or tests, assumptions and a reflection. Rubric: correctness, method, practical usefulness, reproducibility and communication. Self-reviewed, not certified.
6–12 balanced questions sampling every section of Business Foundations and the BBA Learning Path, including interpretation, calculation or reasoning, a misconception and a new application. Passing is 70%; review errors before retrying.
Case discussions, business plans, management simulations and original consulting projects. Guided work leads to an independent attempt, with a diagram, explanation, trace, calculation or tested artifact. Question bodies are generated when opened in your private learning path. Programming submissions are stored as text; the platform does not execute submitted code.
Use original or appropriately licensed datasets. Practical science activities use models or supplied data unless a qualified supervisor has reviewed a physical experiment.
