Episode 2

Marc Kramer:

Senior Lecturer & Researcher, Faculty of Economics & Business

Marc Kramer is a senior lecturer from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Department of Economics, Econometrics, and Finance. His teaching and research focusses mostly on behavioural finance: where psychology and finance intersect.

In this episode we discuss the small experiments that Marc made during his transition to online teaching, including creating videos and radically changing his final course assessment. We also talk about what a new "blended" future for academic education might look like in the fall and beyond.
