  13. CASE STUDIES • Just answer the questions • If the case material seems inadequate or outdated, feel free to search for additional data • Please consult attached guidelines and the Apple case • MBAs (solve problems) vs. PMs (describe problems)!

  14. CLASS PARTICIPATION: Involves: • Participation in class discussions • In-class presentations, other than projects & cases • Submitting questions to presenters • Chatting in class is highly discouraged. Each student will be warned twice. A third warning entails a cut of the student’s class participation degree by half, i.e. more than 12 pts.

  15. Notes on Class Participation • Effective learning depends a lot on class participation, through sharing knowledge and experience. • Woody Allen said that “90% of success is just showing-up”, and this is partially true. Participation in class discussions is highly valued. • Statements must be meaningful, answers to my questions have to be thoughtful, and building upon important contributions of classmates will be appreciated. Breaks: • Please be punctual in breaks !

  16. Rubrics • In-class short presentations by students on topics pertaining to specific issues of the course. • Rubrics are assigned to individual students who wish to improve their degree on a voluntary, or semi-voluntary basis. • Topics will be indicated by me in the previous class. • The whole process (presentation and discussion) is expected to take less than 10 min. • No written text is required – approx. 5-8 slides in ppt are enough – or even no slides at all! • Topics covered in rubrics may come up at an exam. • Slides will be sent to me after presentation.
