The grade is based on a portfolio consisting of class participation (approximately 33%), a written term paper (approximately 33%) and the presentation of this term paper (approximately 33%). One grade is given for the entire portfolio. Grading scale 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 term-paper 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.
