Grading

You will be graded in the following ways:

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 notify either one or both of the professors (usually by e-mail) at least 24 hours prior to the class being missed, provide a reason (research conference, recruiting trip, family emergency, etc.) for not attending, and hand in, before the class they are missing, a written analysis of the study questions (again this can be done via e-mail).  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 case analyses

There will be no final examination.  This course is being 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.
