Critical Thinking Exercises

Six critical thinking exercises will be handed out during the course of the semester that contain one or more cases.  Each student should read the case and come prepared to discuss them.  Material from the cases will be on the exams.  In addition, each student must complete 4 of the 6 critical thinking exercises.  If students wish to complete five or six assignments, then I will take the best 4 grades.  Each assignment involves preparing a one to two page memorandum. Your memo should follow the guidelines for analyzing cases and preparing memos provided on this web site. 
    

Case Analyses

Each student must complete all three case analysis assignments.  Each student should read the case and come prepared to discuss it.  The reading for these cases is on reserve in the library.  The readings will be supplemented with handouts and video clips. These cases are longer and more complicated than the critical thinking exercises and students should allow more time to prepare their assignments.  Each assignment involves preparing a two page memorandum.  Your memo should follow the guidelines for analyzing cases and preparing memos provided on this web site. 
     

Grant Proposal (Group Project)

During the first few weeks of class, project teams will be created with four to five people depending on the class size.  Each project team will be responsible for developing a grant proposal that responds to the request for proposals on the course web site.   Each project team will also make a presentation to the class describing their proposal.  The class will then select the winning proposals.
