resources
Instructional Methods
The lecture and case method of instruction will be used. The case method requires that a student be present for,
and participate in, class discussions in order to develop skills in problem solving and for other forms of "learning"
to take place.
Examinations and Grading
There will be four tests covering the text, class lectures, and class discussion. In addition, surprise quizzes may be
given to check whether students are keeping up with their readings. Attendance is not mandatory, and there is no
deduction for not coming to class. However, during previous years, students who have not attended class on a
regular basis have not done well due to the nature of the subject. Moreover, a student can earn up to an additional
4% based on his/her contribution to class discussion, positive attitude, effort, and attendance. Students are
encouraged to ask questions relevant to the topic under discussion. Your right to ask questions will be protected
and respected. The course grade will be based on the extent and quality of your class participation, sum total of
hourly tests and the final examination.
