Assessment & Progress Tracking
Learning happens through doing. Our assessment approach focuses on practical application rather than theoretical memorization, ensuring you develop skills that translate directly to real financial situations.
Portfolio Projects
Each phase culminates in a comprehensive project where you design complete calendar systems for different financial scenarios. These become part of your professional portfolio and demonstrate mastery to potential employers or clients.
Peer Review Sessions
Monthly group sessions where students present their calendar designs and receive feedback from classmates and instructors. These sessions build presentation skills while exposing you to diverse approaches to financial planning challenges.
Case Study Analysis
Weekly case studies based on real financial planning scenarios require you to apply calendar methodologies to complex situations. These exercises develop critical thinking and adaptability in your planning approach.
Practical Implementation
Students implement their learning by managing a simulated household budget for three months using the calendar techniques taught. This hands-on experience bridges the gap between classroom theory and real-world application.
