8. StudentsGuidance
PRE-ASSIGNMENTS
Prior to atttending each module, students are reqired to prepare a short written summary of one of
the cases, or one of the reading materials, assigned for the module. This is an individual
assignment, coordinated by the syndicate:
1. It is the responsibility of every participant in this course to read the relevant background
material and assigned cases prior to the start of the class.
2. Each student must independently write one a one-page summary of one, or more, of the
reading (background) materials and/or cases.
3. It is the responsibility of each syndicate (team) to ensure that each of the background
materials and cases has a summary prepared by one or more of the participants in the
syndicate.
4. If the syndicate has more members than the number of cases and reading materials, for the
day, then more than one person will write a summary of some items.
5. If there are fewer syndicate members than the number of items, for the day, then some
students will prepare more than one summary.
Note: The summary should focus on the content and primary learning from the paper or case in
question. One-page summaries are preferred; but in no circumstances should the summary
exceed two pages. Please use a 12-point font and normal margins.

LEARNING METHOD
The case method and other interactive methods are used throughout the subject. Class members
are encouraged to incorporate concepts from assigned readings into their analysis of the cases.
The case method may include both large group discussions and/or presentations by syndicate
teams. All class members are expected to have read each case and reflected upon the assigned
questions, whether or not their team has been assigned the case.

PRESENTATIONS

In some sessions, syndicates may be randomly assigned to make presentations of their case
analysis to the entire class at the time of case is discussed. Therefore, all syndicates should
make appropriate preparations.
The audience for the case presentations is the other members of the class. Please address your
talk to them. The syndicates may make the presentation as a team, or assign a spokesperson for
each case. In any case, syndicates should ensure that all team members have any equal
opportunity to participate in the presentations.
The criteria for measuring the effectiveness of presentations include:
1. ability to stimulate interest among classmates
2. ability to relate concepts from the readings to the issues in the specific situation
3. how well the discussion drew out insights and ideas from the participants
4. how well organized was the discussion
5. how comprehensive was the analysis
Some specific case questions may be provided to help you to prepare the case reports, but your
own ideas and creativity are paramount. Keep the reports concise. There is no need to
summarize the case materials. Simply get to the main points and provide your analysis and/or
recommendations with supporting justification.

CLASS PARTICIPATION
Active participation is expected throughout the entire class and each student should make
thoughtful contributions to the discussion. Please note that frequency (i.e. quantity) of
contributions in class is not the major criteria for effective class participation. The classroom
should be considered a laboratory in which the student can test his/her ability to a) convince peers
of the correctness of ones approach to complex problems and b) demonstrate ones ability to
achieve the desired results by using that approach. Criteria that are useful in measuring effective
class participation include:
1. Is the participant a good listener?
2. Are the points that are made relevant to the discussion? Are they linked to the
comments of others?
3. Do comments show evidence of incorporating the concepts from readings into the
analysis of the case?
4. Is there a willingness to test new ideas, or are all comments safe? (safe is defined
as simply repeating case facts without analysis and conclusions).
5. Do comments clarify or build upon the important aspects of earlier comments and
lead to a clearer statement of the concepts being covered and the problems being
addressed?
