Examination and Grading There will be three examinations and a group paper and presentation. Throughout the semester we will consider a number of case studies, depicting a variety of business problems. The cases are valuable learning tools. They provide an opportunity for you to sharpen your analytical skills and to apply concepts studied in the course to real business problems. Cases force us to think 'on our feet', and communicate persuasively, skills that are critical to business success.
Cases create a great forum for discussion.
However, exciting and fun case discussions require that all students come thoroughly prepared. Accordingly, it is absolutely critical that you read the cases thoroughly and come prepared with answers to the study questions. Contributions to case discussions are very important in determining class participation grades. Exams Two exams and a cumulative final exam will be given. In addition to demonstrating an understanding of the material, you will be asked to apply concepts and theories learned from the text and lectures to real life examples.
