    In addition, there is (4) an optional case-solving exercise (in groups).

    (1) Reflection notes

    You need to submit a one-page reflection note using the Cornell method for note-taking. Here is a link to the video that explains how to use this method:

    This system should help you reflect on and better organize the study material.

    Click on Assignments and then Reflection notes to submit the reflection note (if you use pen and paper you can take a picture of your notes with your phone and upload that). 

    (2) Online Quizzes

    The online quizzes consist of 8-15 multiple choice questions about the study material. You can see whether you answered all questions correctly after submitting your answers, and you can redo the quizzes as many times as you like.

    Click on the Quizzes folder to see the questions and submit your answers. Not available yet, we will let you know when you can start taking the online quizzes.

    (3) Final assignment

    This is individual work. The instruction TBA

    (4) Group case-solving (Optional)

    This part of the course is optional. It involves solving and presenting a case as a group.

    More detailed information and instructions will be provided later, including how to sign up for it. 



    These deadlines are strict. No late submissions will be accepted.

    Quizzes and reflection notes take time. Start working on them early enough!


    Grading policy

    Up to 40 points are given for the following elements

    • Reflection notes (individual work): 10 points
    • Online quizzes (individual work): 10 points
    • Final assignment (individual work): 15 points
    • Group case-solving (in groups): 5 points (optional)

    Each reflection note and each online quiz is graded as either 0 (fail) or 2 (pass), so you can get a maximum of 20 points from these.

    Reflection notes

    To pass, it needs to be visible that you have spent some effort reflecting on the topic. Submissions with mostly white space, with just a few words, or obviously copied&pasted from elsewhere are graded 0.

    Online quizzes

    You can redo the quizzes as many times as you like, but you must answer all multiple-choice questions correctly to pass and get 2 points.

    Final assignment

    The instructions will be accounted later

    Group case (optional)

    The instructions will be accounted for later


    Final grades are given as follows:

    • <20: FAIL
    • 20-23: 1 (but must return Final assignment)
    • 24-27: 2
    • 28-31: 3
    • 32-35: 4
    • 36+: 5

    Attention:

    • To pass, you must return the final assignment and get at least one point (so you can’t pass just with reflection notes and online quizzes, even if you get 20 points from them).
    • You can get at most 4 without doing the optional group case-solving
    • All points will be communicated through the course website (under Grades)

    The instructors of the course are Assistant Professor Natalia Vuori and Postdoctoral Researcher Barbara Burkhard.
