The grade is based on a portfolio consisting of oral participation (approximately 25%) and written case-hand-ins (approximately 75%). One grade is given for the entire portfolio. Grades A-F.
Oral participation is an individual effort. The evaluation of oral participation will primarily reflect the quality of a student's comments and insights, as well as the intensity of participation. There is no makeup for a missed class.
The course covers eight cases. Students are expected to prepare each case for the class discussion. Students can work in groups of up to three students.
For some cases the students need to submit a written case hand-in. A hand-in is a written report of maximum five pages (excluding tables, including an executive summary). Cases have to be handed in before the case in question is taught in class.
- The first case will not be graded.
- Out of the remaining cases, four will be graded by the course responsible. The students can choose which cases they want to hand-in.
- The student must submit a reflection note where the students reflects on their learning and development during the course.
The examination can only be written in English. All parts have to be taken in the same semester. Since this is a case-based course with several cases reappearing year after year, students can take the course only one time. It is possible to retake the course only if a student fails. As the grading in this course is given as one total grade, based on a combination of written and oral elements, it is by nature non-reproducible, and, in accordance with the University and University Colleges Act §5-3, may not be appealed.
