Abstract
In this article, we present a flipped classroom based teaching concept and related open book exam for Master’s courses in the field of Operational Research while paying particular attention to dual curricula management students. The characteristics of dual curricula include that students study part-time complemented by practical stages in cooperating firms. As a consequence, there is a limited number of lectures available compared to full-time programs. Hence, adequate course structures are needed to facilitate learning and encourage students to explore the research field further. We present an illustrative teaching concept focusing on the well-known Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) and GAMS programming. Moreover, we demonstrate how self-study phases and classroom trainings are systematically combined to support the management students’ autonomous programming activities culminating in 24-h open book exams.
