Learning Methods are many, and a professor can invent or modify some existing ones too. Assignments that include a presentation are a good tool to build communication skills, but other objectives can be served by using other methods. A few I have used-
Blogging
Role Plays based on short cases
Just role plays to learn about Qualitative Research Techniques such as Focus Groups or Depth Interviews. Each of these requires a different skill-set.
Questionnaire-building or modification to suit changing times. Can be a group exercise done in class.
Bidding to simulate auctions of different kinds, in Negotiations, or in Digital (Paid) Marketing
Shooting a small video/reel to advertise a product/service
Captioning a post with attractive copy.
In addition, you can use exams as a learning tool by being creative in designing questions that test thinking ability or application orientation.
