    Here you will find instructions for the term paper and place to submit term paper. Due date is 20 December, 23:55.

  • Lecture slides

    Lecture slides will be uploaded after each lecture.

  • Group homework

    Group homework is in the form of case study. The case and instructions how to write the case report and make the case presentations are provided below.

    Students form the groups from 4 to 7 people depending on the number of participants in the course.  We should have 5-6 groups. The groups are formed via case_study_group_choice.

  • Extra points policy. Extra points for attendance.

    The attendance of lectures is not obligatory. However, I give points for attendance. In online version of the course (that we have this year still), I track attendance by questions. In particular, during the lecture you can ask me questions or write them in the chat. For the first question you get one point. For the other questions (second, third, etc.) you do not get any points though still can ask and I will respond. I respond to the questions in chat in the end of each lecture.

    Those who attend 4 or more of my lectures (i.e., when lecturer is Svetlana Ledyaeva) [the attendance is tracked by questions - see paragraph above], can get 5 more points if they make an assessment of the course in Weboodi. Instructions should be sent to your emails in the beginning of the course. The assessment is anonymous but I get the names who participated in the assessment.

    You can also get 5 extra points in the discussion of case study presentation. See case study instructions on writing the case report, etc.

    Finally, you can get extra points for questions at guest lectures. For the first question you get one point; for the second question 0.5 points.

    I should not that all the described points are EXTRA, i.e. they are not included in 100 points you can get via making all the assignments in the course. Hence, some of you can even get over 100 points though your grade will be as you get 100 points then.

  • Grading system

    The grading system is based on the points (the sum of points for all assignments plus extra points [see section on Extra points policy]). It is the following:

    90-100 points
    		 5


    70-89 points
    		 4

    60-69 points
    		 3

    50-59 points
    		 2

    40-49 points
    		 1

    Note: Sometimes points are named as percents (%).
