Teaching Mathematical Modelling and Programming with GAMS in Dual Management Master Curricula Using Flipped Classrooms and Open Book Exams

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 include that students study part-time complemented by practical stages cooperating firms. As consequence, there is limited number lectures available compared full-time programs. Hence, adequate course structures are needed facilitate learning encourage explore research further. We an illustrative focusing on well-known Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) GAMS programming. Moreover, demonstrate how self-study phases trainings systematically combined support students’ autonomous programming activities culminating 24-h exams.
