Assessment

Assessment is based on two short case studies to be solved in class (20% grade each). These cases require independent research on the Internet and group work. Another 10% of the grade is for attendance and participation. The remaining 50% of the final grade is for the presenation of the main case study, which is a group work as well and requires intensive out-of-class preparation.
