Case Studies: (see detail sheet) There will be two (2) case studies
assigned throughout the course of the quarter.
Each of the case studies will be completed by groups of three (3)
students and the results will be presented both in written form and to the
entire class by the group. The case
studies are intended to be practical applications of course material in a
setting not unlike what one may encounter in professional practice.
Pop Quizzes: There will be a few pop quizzes throughout
the quarter. Emphasis: these are
intended primarily for the instructor to measure overall comprehension of the
subject matter. It is also a way for the
instructor to measure your performance without making you study for several
exams. The lowest quiz grade will be
dropped and there will be no make-up quizzes.
Final Exam: There will be a 60 minutes final exam for
this course.
Attendance: Attending all classes is essential
to learning this subject. The course
covers a large amount of material and every
class is important. It is the
student's responsibility to come to class prepared to learn.
Attendance
will be taken at the beginning (and end) of each class.
Grading: Your grade for the class will be based
on the following percentages:
Attendance 40% (including pop quizzes)
Case Studies 40%
Final Exam 20%
Total: 100 %
Late Work: No late work is accepted. The case studies must be completed by the day
of their presentation.
Accommodation: If you require accommodation based on a
documented disability, emergency medical information to share, or need special
arrangements in case of emergency evacuation, please make an appointment with
me as soon as possible. If you would
