Each student is given at the beginning of the term one and only one free OUT note. At any time during the course of the semester which the student does not feel sufficiently prepared, the student before the start of that particular class , can present the instructor with the OUT card. This allows the student to be exempt from being the Presenter and protects the student from being penalized for poor performance as a discussant for that class session. Remember, only one card is given and it is only good for one class session. Use it wisely.
Students are to be called upon frequently for discussion of the cases and the articles.
If unprepared, that is the student has clearly failed to read the assigned article or case, that student must prepare a 2 page single-spaced typed synopsis of the case or article assigned, due the next class session. This can be repeated for each case or article assigned for that session. An absent student if called upon to be the discussion leader for that day s article or case, will be required to hand in a similar synopsis of the case or article assigned. Written cases are to be typed, double-spaced and should be of sufficient length to adequately address the issues of the case. They are due at the beginning of the class session the case will be discussed.
