Case Memos |
The analysis of case studies essentially is self-learning through simulated experience. Therefore, its success depends on the lively interchange of information, ideas, and opinions brought out in class discussion. Students are required to complete 4 memos based on cases of varying length and complexity. Each memo must also include an attachment that describes how 3 sets of theories or concepts (see the review sheet for the final exam for examples) applies to that particular case. Since case analysis and writing memos may be a new experience, students can rewrite 2 memos and I will average the grades. Accordingly, students concerned about their final course grade should consider revising memos with poor grades. Failure to complete a memo results in a zero. Memo grades are reduced by a letter grade each day they are late. Click here for detailed directions. |
