Final grades will be computed as: Participation: 30% Assignments: 70% Participation Class participation is a very important part of the learning process in this course. Thirty percent of your final grade will be based on an assessment of the quality of your contributions to class discussions. Quality of contribution and insights is important to enhance our class. Quality comments possess one or more of the following attributes: They offer a unique, relevant perspective on the issue being discussed. They bring the conceptual issues treated in the readings to the analysis of the case They contribute to moving the discussion and analysis forward. They build on others’ comments. Too often managers and students fail to listen to what others are saying; simply repeating a previous comment is not participation. Assignments Through assignments we will assess your ability to analyze particular organizational situations and to show understanding of the course concepts as they apply to them. You will be evaluated on the basis of your ability to use the conceptual frameworks developed in the course, to analyze the factors that contributed to organizational problems, and to generate appropriate and creative solutions to the problems while maintaining an awareness of potential pitfalls and problems that might arise in implementing the solutions. Assignments will count 70% of your final grade.
