case reports should be about five pages in length, plus any supporting exhibits and
analyses. (The report should flow smoothly, with lead questions answered implicitly
and not have explicit answers to the questions. The lead questions should be
considered as starting point and you should feel free to consider other relevant
issues.)
In addition to case analyses, each group will work on a project of its choice.
Guidelines for project topics and timelines will be handed out later. Project grade
will be based on the final report and a presentation to be made in class during the
last week of classes.
Class Participation: I will come to class fully prepared each day, and I expect the
students to do the same. "Prepared" for students means that you have to carefully
read the assigned materials, seriously attempted to complete exercises or answer
assigned questions, and are ready and willing to actively engage in the classroom
learning experience. Class participation will be evaluated based on each student's
comments and contributions to case and lecture discussions. "Good" participation is
that which enhances group learning: it could be a question, an observation, a shared
experience or an answer to a question. I will try to provide continuous feedback on
your performance with respect to class participation.
Attendance Policy: Much of the learning happens both during your preparation and
