EE204: Business Management for
Electrical Engineers and Computer Scientists

Grading

You will be graded in the following ways:

Attendance

Attendance at all classes is required because of the interactive nature of the case method. Because we understand that students have numerous constraints on them throughout the quarter, under certain circumstances students are allowed to miss up to two classes without affecting their grade.

When missing a class students must do the following:

1. Notify either both professors and the TA, via email, of the absence:
   1. This should be done at least 24 hours prior to the class being missed.
   2. Provide a reason (research conference, recruiting trip, family emergency, etc.) for not attending.
2. Complete the SCPD assignment for the class meeting they are missing:
   1. Submit written answers to the discussion questions prior to the class being missed.
   2. Watch the lecture of the class being missed.
   3. Submit a second writeup according to the instructions for that class meeting.
   4. Both writeups should be sent via email to Fred, Micah, and Blair.
   5. Students who cannot submit these assignments according to the deadlines listed should make arrangements for alternate submission dates with the EE204 teaching team.

Failure to meet any of these criteria will negatively impact a student's participation grade.

Classroom Discussion

Students will receive the ranking by quartile of their classroom participation performance at the mid point of the course.

Written Discussion

Grading Formula

There will be no final examination. This course is offered on a letter grade basis only. Your grade will be weighted as follows:

Classroom Discussion (1/3)

First written case (1/3)

Second written case (1/3)

If at any point during the quarter you would like to see us about your class participation, written work, course matters, or anything else, please contact us after class, by phone, or by email to set up an appointment and we will work to accommodate your needs.

Extra Credit

A variety of extra-credit opportunities are available for EE204, including the following:

• Give a short in-class presentation on a current event related to the course
• Present five slides giving recommendations for one the written assignments
• Implement the framework for the CaseWiki
• Participate in product testing for the Emotiv case

Additionally, the top performing team in the simulation and top performing individuals in the CaseWiki are awarded extra credit.
