Case study

Organizational Behaviour, Singapore Management University

The first course built on Teach with Insights. Dr. Kumar Abhishek teaches a 47-student cohort where the syllabus and the students' own behaviour are the same material.

The arc

How a term actually runs.

Before session one
The base read

Every student takes the AURA assessment — 36 needs across four domains. It takes about ten minutes and becomes the spine for the rest of the term.

Session 1–3
Individual

Personality, perception, attitudes. Students meet their own profile; the professor projects the class quadrant map and teaches to the actual spread in the room.

Session 4–9
Motivation and teams

A Live Case per session — a group project going sideways, an internship offer, a free-rider. Students predict what the room will do, then choose. The gap between the two is the lesson.

Session 10–12
Power and leadership

Choices runs on the projector: the class votes on a decision, then sees the consequence. Individual coach cards get released for one-to-ones.

After session 12
Next best step

Each student gets three practice actions, two things to watch for, and one question to bring to their professor — generated from their own pattern across the term.

What the professor sees
  • The room — the anonymised read of the class, built for the projector. Hidden until five students have answered.
  • Team grid — the whole class as a grid, with project groups he can tick to read a team's mix before it forms.
  • Across the classes — dimension means, headline splits and ranked sticking points, side by side.
  • Coach cards — one student at a time: where they charge, where they'll struggle, what to ask.
The line he reads aloud in week one

"You see your own results. I only ever see class-level averages, and only once enough of the room has responded. Nothing you answer affects a grade."
