MODULE 1: THE FINANCIAL SERVICES ENVIRONMENTS (cont’d)

         take a quiz on the material individually, at which time they may not help one another. Total
         these quiz points to form team scores and the teams with the highest scores should be
         rewarded.

3. Divide students into groups, and assign them different areas in the field of financial services
         to research and use any suitable medium to make presentations to the class regarding the
         relevant careers. These presentations should form the base for a class discussion.

4. Invite Guest Speakers from local financial institutions, or arrange a field trip for students to
         learn about the everyday operation of the financial services discipline and their importance.
         Prior to the session, provide the students with a worksheet with prospective questions on the
         topic, accompanied by a marking scheme as a guide regarding the types of answers they
         should give. At the end of the interaction, divide the students into groups of five so that they
         can collaborate and arrive at the solutions.

5. Encourage students to conduct interviews with persons within the field of financial services,
         prepare a brochure on different types of customers utilising the services of private banking,
         and make an oral presentation to the class.

6. After discussions and research on different products and services offered in financial centres,
         engage students in creating a journal and writing a poem representing an investor’s soliloquy
         on the importance of any one of the products or services.
