1. Homework and Assignments: Students will work on 2 major case analyses in assigned teams. Teams are expected to use the assigned case study as a starting point, integrate additional research (financial reports, reputable articles, etc.), and propose a marketing strategy to address the key issues brought up in the case. Similarly, the final project will require teams to choose a topic, similar in depth and nature to the case analysis, and perform an analysis of greater rigor. Beyond the case analyses and final project, students will also be evaluated on class participation, with the expectation that students participate both with formal presentations, as well as in informal discussions in class. Students will be assigned discussion leadership roles throughout the semester that will include academic-conference-style presentations of research. All students are expected to actively participate in discussions on content topics each week. Additionally, for each content topic, students will submit weekly, brief, 1-page reflection papers that are intended present individual thoughts on the reading topics. 2. Exams and Quizzes: Students will be responsible for 1 open-note, exam. Students will be expected to demonstrate literacy of the topics covered in class, as well as potential applications of those ideas.
