Group preparation of cases or assigned tasks is strongly encouraged. It is the individual responsibility of work-group members to make sure that each and every one group member will be able to lead the discussion of the assignment or case in the name of the group. The quality of group-work will be in part evaluated on the basis of the sum of its members' individual presentations. It is the responsibility of each and every group member to make sure that every one in the group has understood and mastered the concepts of the course and of each class. If a group member has unusual difficulties in acquiring or mastering the course concepts, it is the responsibility of the group to suggest that such individual member approach the faculty for individual tutoring, which will be gladly provided.
Individual presentations are random and unannounced.
They require serious preparation by each individual student in their work-group. Raising questions or suggesting answers are valued equally. Listening to others and building on previously uttered observations are key to a constructive experience in the class room. Challenging ideas and not people is essential to the learning process. In most cases, the official course syllabus will be distributed on the first day of class.
