You can use this make-up assignment if you are absent during the case discussion

You can use this make-up assignment if you are absent during the case discussion or if your case
<
participation score is less than three. Each write-up is allocated a maximum of three points.
<
The three points are not automatically given but based on the grading criteria given below. If
<
you are submitting this assignment because of low participation score, then the highest of the
<
two scores (write-up or participation) is taken. Your participation score will be directly updated
<
once the write-up is evaluated and if you score higher on the write-up. Keep in mind that the
<
maximum participation score is four and this make-up assignment has a max of just three
<
points. This has been deliberately done to incentivize participation and penalize non-
<
participation but at the same time provide some amount of safety net and flexibility for students.
<
Make-up assignment is not a substitute for participation.
<
The assignment is due toward the end of the course but you can proactively submit this
<
assignment in advance. You can submit the write-ups for as many cases as you need.
<
For each case write-up, there will be two parts:
<
1) Case Summary: Summarize the case in your own words and highlights the most
<
important aspects of the case. Use your own words and do not copy paste
<
sentences/phrases directly from the case.
<
2) Topic association: Provide your understanding of how the case relates to the assigned
<
lecture topic. Clearly mark the concepts and terms (in bold or highlighted). You can do
<
any of the following for this purpose (these are only indicative and not exhaustive):
<
• Explain how the case helped you understand certain concepts in the assigned topic
<
• Explain the concepts using specific information from the case (case facts)
<
• Link concepts with case facts by identifying how a particular case fact relates to a
<
particular concept
<
• Conduct an analysis of the case using the analytical tool provided in the associated
<
topic and elaborate this analysis. Note: not all topics have analytical tools.
<
• Explain how certain case facts go beyond certain concepts or even deviate from
<
those concepts.
<
The expectations are as follows:
<
• The objective of the write-up:
<
o Both Summary and Topic parts should reflect a complete and full understanding of the assigned case
<
o In the topic part clearly connect case facts and textbook concepts from the
<
assigned topic. For integrative cases, you can use any of the assigned topics.
<
o Topic part must demonstrate a full and deep understanding of the concepts from
<
the assigned topic. Specifically, consider only the concepts utilized in this course
<
(see session guidance, lecture video, and lecture ppt). Using concepts from other
<
topics or those not utilized in this course will not be penalized but, at the same
<
time, will not satisfy this criterion either.
<
o Articulate your thoughts and ideas in a clear and logical manner. You are highly
<
encouraged to use Grammarly for your assignments. Link:

<
• Timing: Upload the assignment before the deadline indicated in Canvas. Late
<
submissions will be heavily penalized.
<
• Format:
<
o Submit the write-up for the assigned case and topic only (you will get a zero if you
<
submit for the wrong case, even if the topic is correct or vice-versa)
<
o At least 20 lines should be dedicated to the Topic part
<
o Submit a write-up that is at least one full page with 1-inch margins, single spaced,
<
and font size 12. Submitting write-ups that are more than one page is highly
<
encouraged.
<
o Do not include any headers, Student name, titles, references or footnotes in your
<
write-up.
<
o Do not use indentation.
<
o Use one paragraph for each of the two parts and keep the spacing between
<
paragraphs to not more than 6 points.
<
? Mark Summary or Topic in the beginning of the respective para but not
<
on a separate line.
