discussions. Your participation in the class discussions is essential in serving this
purpose.
• Students are required to read the assigned chapters, including the “Case Studies”,
“Operations Tours”, and “Readings”, prior to the class meeting. Students are expected
to attend class fully-prepared to discuss questions noted in the textbook for these case
studies.
• There are two types of assignments in this class: one is assignments associated with
class sessions; and other is the OM team project. These assignments serve two
purposes: (1) they are a learning/teaching tool to help establish a fundamental
understanding of the concepts, and (2) measure the students’ grasp of the subjects.
o In the first class session, we will discuss the Session Assignments, the OM
Team Project, and class participation in further detail.
