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

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