Grade A B C D F

Attendance/participation 5 points Exams/Project (2) 30 points Pop quizzes/homework 25 points Cases/Project 40 points Total points 100points Methods of Assessment:

The expected learning outcomes will be assessed through: Project Exams, In-Class Quizzes, Class Discussions, Active Learning Activities, and Case Solutions.

Participation in Discussion Threads: Each week students will be required to participate in discussion threads. These threads are to help students put material into more personal contexts and maximize learning. If a student participates in all discussion threads, he/she will be awarded 5 bonus points towards the total number of points for the semester. If a student fails to participate in 75% of the discussions, he/she will get a zero for participation grade. Quizes Each week you will be required to take a quiz that consists of material from the book and a case (if there is one for the week). You must take the quizzes and pass the quizzes. This helps ensure that you are staying up to date with the readings and helps maximize learning from the lectures. Case Analyses In groups, each student will prepare a 4-5 page (double-spaced, one inch margin, 12 point font, Times New Roman) analysis for any 4 of the cases (i.e., Harvard Business Review Cases) that have selected (see Topical summary). Any cases that have an asterisk are OK to analyze. It has also been posted examples of excellent case analyses to help guide you in your analyses. It is expect that all of students to go well beyond summarizing the case. Make sure you describe next steps and improvement plans to carry the case further.

Examinations: (40 points) Tests will be made up of case, questions and problems taken from lecture material, case readings, homework, your term project experience and the text. Exams are time limited (generally 1 week) to test your full knowledge and grasp of the concepts being tested. By design, if you do not know the material, you will not be able to complete the exam within the time allotted. Be prepared. I will make every effort to inform you of points allocated to questions and problems prior to each examination. Makeup exams will not be given without prior arrangements. Quiz/homework: (25 points) Announced and unannounced quizzes on reading assignments and problems will be given periodically. Homework assignments may be collected and graded. Collected homework will be treated as if it were a quiz. Please submit all homework typewritten. Late homework will NOT be accepted. If an insufficient number of quizzes/homework is given to justify 5% of the course grade, the points for quizzes may be reallocated to the final examination. Attendance/participation: (5 points) I highly recommend you come to each class session. Attendance is not mandatory in the same manner as passing the exams, reading the course material, and doing the homework is not mandatory. I value class
