Schedule

Deliverables

For each of the five modules, you will need to submit (1) a one-page reflection note (individual work) and (2) solve an online quiz (individual work).
One final assignment (3) (individual work)
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 method helps 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 a case in a group.

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 are graded from 0 to 2, 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 both videos and readings. Submissions with mostly white space, with just a few words, or obviously copied&pasted from elsewhere are graded 0. Reflecting on videos ONLY are graded as 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 questions for the final assignment are available in the Resources folder.

Group case (optional)
The instructions are available in the Resources folder.

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)
