Week 1 — Focus groups

The first week of the semester is dedicated to focus groups. Sign up for a time slot with your team as early as possible — there are 15 slots in total, with a maximum of 8 people each, so team up across project teams to stay within capacity (multiple project teams can join one slot).

Focus groups take place at the Market Research Lab. Be at the entrance to the Department of Management (6th floor) 5 minutes before your selected time slot.

Tip

This course is co-created based on these focus groups — questions you raise here directly shape what gets covered later in the semester.
