These forms and others will ultimately become part of the summary report to be submitted by each student firm at the end of the semester. The decision forms and financial results forms completed at each iteration. An analytic appendix consisting of work such as market segmentation and opportunity analysis, competitive tracking, forecasting, or response function estimation that may be indicative of the quality of the decisions. The final summary report must be turned in by each firm at the last class meeting of the fourteenth class week. Late reports will earn a one grade penalty per day.

T he major benefit of a seminar stems from the opportunity to learn through the interaction and exchange of views with other members of the class. A productive seminar and team effort requires that all participants be well prepared for each meeting. Fifteen percent of the course grade is awarded according to each student's contribution to the seminars, and is based mainly on evidence of preparation and active participation in class as well as the case summaries. Students should understand that participation without adequate preparation is largely counter productive. Because the instructor is not likely to be informed regarding weekly contributions of individual team members, peer evaluation will weigh heavily in the determination of class participation grades.
