Microsoft Excel or other equivalent spreadsheet programs and access to personal computer are required. The delivery system used in this course is a combination of lecture-discussion and group case analysis approach. The first half of the course involves lecturing and class discussion of some of the decision making tools, with emphasis on application of the tools. The second half of the course, however, involves student analyzing cases in group environment. Presentations by the students are also required at this stage of the course.
Team work is viewed as very important part of the learning process in the course.
Expanded Description of the Course and Instructional Methods Class attendance will not be taken. However, it is my experience that students tend to learn a lot in class discussion. Your presence and contribution in the class will, therefore, be very beneficiary to both yourself and your classmates. The examinations will include materials from class discussion. These summaries are expected to be turned in at the beginning of the class when the case is presented.
