Levelling Up Math Literacy Through E-Contents – An Example of Portuguese Students From Hospitality and Tourism Management Bachelor Degrees

Teaching Operations Management to Lawyers

“…By choosing the Manhattan distance, we are using the principle of maximum efficiency in which we focus only in the sum of total performance without considering the balance of solutions. Then, a combined performance (10,2) in mathematical modelling is as good as the (7,5) in project development because the distance to the ideal in terms of the Manhattan distance is the same (8). However, some teachers may be interested in avoiding corner solutions as the mathematical modelling, specially in teaching operations management to lawyers.…”

“…Clearly, this issue is not new and different authors have proposed alternative ways to solve the problem of heterogeneity of skills. Gamification [1,6], levelling seminars or individualized teaching [4], the use of electronic contents [5], and focusing on the learning process [7] are some examples. Summarizing, we can find alternative ways of the combined process of teaching-learning that can deal with the heterogeneity of skills problem.…”
