True: In a management course, the objectives are to let students know, what is management, what are the techniques involved, and what are the do's and don't, how to lead a particular group, and guide them to attain objectives, but do not make them practice this in the course itself.

False: The management course, is all about understanding the concept of management, all its objectives, effects, requirements, etc: In short it teaches how to become a manager. Therefore, it is just not about management, but it is more about how to become a manager.
