Methods Used to Evaluate Student Performance.
1. Mid-Term Exam (25%)
The midterm exam covers chapters 2 through 7. It will consist of multiple choice questions (MCQ). The exam will be inperson and in-class.
The midterm exam will test your knowledge of theories, concepts of innovation management and your ability to apply this
such knowledge in specific contexts, decisions, and problems. To do well in this course, you should read the relevant
Chapters of the book first, study the course slides, and prepare answers to any discussion questions and other assigned
activities. The duration of midterm exam will be 70 minutes.
Note: Under no circumstances will there be a make-up or deferred midterm. A student who misses a mid- term
examination for reasons approved by the Appeal Committee would automatically have the weight of the mid-term
examination added to the weight of the final exam. See additional notes below regarding exam policies.
2. Group Project (25%) – Written report and Oral (In class) presentation.
The project involves performing a diagnosis of the state of innovation in the chosen Canadian company. The choice of the
company must be approved by the professor. Please select your company and seek approval before 25 September 2023.
You can send an email about your choice or approach the professor in class.
The project work involves performing a diagnostic of the company’s innovations and its management followed by an
assessment of its innovation performance. Based on the performance assessment, the group must either 1) improve
innovation performance by offering recommendations on how the company can more effectively and efficiently organize
its innovation projects/efforts and manage its innovation efforts. 2) Identify and explain the source of its performance and
provide recommendations for further improvement and ongoing management. Further information/instructions about
the project work will be available on Brightspace.
The deliverables for this project includes a written report (1.5 spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins) not including a
required Executive Summary that must be uploaded on Brightspace on or before 1st December 2023 and an oral
presentation scheduled on the 4 & 6th of December 2023. The written report is expected to carry the details of the groups’
diagnostic, analysis & recommendation while the oral presentation should contain content suitable for a 10-12 minute oral
presentation. You can perform both qualitative and quantitative analysis using qualitative and/or quantitative data sources.
It is expected that groups use the concepts/theories/frameworks discussed in the class or forms part of the course outline.
The project work has four primary objectives. First, it intends to expose students to the realistic experience of analyzing
innovation practices in a Canadian company. Secondly, it intends to develop diagnostic abilities to identify issues and their
cause related to the management of innovation. Thirdly, it intends to encourage students towards decision making in
complex and uncertain decision making situation. Fourth, it intends to develop written and oral presentation skills suited
for an executive audience.
Assignments are to be uploaded onto BrightSpace and not handed-in in physical form in the class
3. Peer Evaluation (10%)
This course is designed to encourage high levels of group discussion and learning through peer interactions, in and outside
the classroom. At the end of the course, each group member must fill out a peer evaluation form for each member of the
team including themselves. You are encouraged to keep a journal or a record of groups’ formal and/or informal meetings
and your contribution to it, which you can use as evidence to support the marks you give to your group members and
yourself.
The peer evaluation criteria are: (1) level of preparation, (2) quantity of work (contribution), (3) quality of work
(contribution), (4) level of engagement (includes being a team player, contributing to decisions, supporting team’s
ADM 4316 Section A – Management of Innovation – Page 4 of 12
decisions, etc.), and (5) level of professionalism (includes integrity, respect, communication, empathy, non-abusive, etc.).
In the last week of November 2023 I will email you a link to a webpage where you can go and complete the peer
evaluation. Students who do not submit a completed peer evaluation forms will lose 50% of the peer evaluation mark.
4. Final Exam (35%)
The final examination will take place during the normally scheduled examination period at the end of the course. The
examination covers all materials (an announcement will be made if there is a change in the materials/chapters
covered in the final exam) in the course including the materials presented in the lectures, in the textbook readings and in
the discussions that take place during the course. Students will complete the final exam in-class in pen and paper. The
individual exam will be 2 hours in length.
The format of the exam will be a mix of MCQs (50%) and open-ended questions (50%). Responses to the open-ended
questions are to be developed in ‘essay style’ and be approximately 500 to 750 words long. Bullet points are not
acceptable. Students should emphasize the depth of their answers, by connecting one or two key concepts together and/or
expanding their explanations of individual concepts, rather than attempting to cover a broad number of separate points.
The open-ended questions will be evaluated using the following criteria:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Extent to which the student has answered the question asked, including sub-questions.
Specificity of response in relation to the question asked.
Use of course materials in articulating their answers.
Understanding of theories and concepts used in the course, and the fluency of the student’s ability to
apply these ideas in practice.
Clarity and strength of language used in their response
5. Class Participation & Contribution (5%)
The instructor may randomly administer various in-class activities over the duration of the course. You must attend classes
to do these activities when they are assigned e.g., polls, pop quizzes, discussion of current events in the news, etc..
Your participation involves contributions during classes including discussions with classmates and answering questions.
Class Participation will be determined by your instructor based on the frequency and quality of your contribution. Class
attendance and participation will enrich your learning by allowing you to seek answers to your questions, clarify your
ideas, and contribute new ideas. Below are some tips for positive class contributions:





Important Notes:
If you have a disability of any kind that could hinder your participation in any aspect of the course, please
contact Access Services as soon as possible so that I can be notified and make appropriate accommodations.
Also, please contact me at your earliest convenience if I can be of assistance.
As per the Telfer School’s policy, please note that it is not possible to submit extra course work to improve your
mark.
In all email correspondences with the professor, please use your official uOttawa email. In all emails including
replies, include a signature line that provides your full contact information. For example: Tyrone Mohammad Sec
A ID: 300567231. Also, include a brief topic in the subject line of all emails [e.g., Sec A Team Project or Sec A
Midterm, Class Absence, etc.] This is necessary for quick response because I have hundreds of students to deal
with. Failure to do so may result in unnecessary delays in getting your issue resolved.
Please be polite, respectful and follow good etiquette when writing emails. Try to write clear emails and be as
brief as possible. Before you write “enquiry emails” about administrative aspects of the course, check the
course outline or Brightspace to see if the information you are looking for is already posted. This is good
professional business practice. I generally respond to these emails by telling you to go check the course outline
or Brightspace and my response timeis much longer than more substantive enquiries.
Remarking: If you have reasonable grounds for requesting a review of any graded activity, please make an email
request outlining your concerns and I will review the request in collaboration with the TA. I will notify you of the
outcome. Of course, if a meeting is necessary, we can schedule one although this is often not necessary. This is a
quasi-formal approach to expedite your requestquickly.
There is also a more formal procedure described below in case you want to embark on this route:
Within one week of receiving your graded activity:
1.) Indicate in writing specifically what your concern(s) is (are). This does not mean that you simply say “I think
I deserve more marks.” You must clearly indicate where the marker made a mistake in his/her marking of the
paper. In this regard, you must refer to the class notes, excerpt in the textbook, etc., supporting your claim.
2.) After completing #1 above, you must submit the assignment with your comments back to the Professor
within one week of the assignment being handed to the class. If you did not pickup the paper when it was handed
back, you still have only one week from the original hand- back date to request a remark.
3.) If a paper is not resubmitted following the above guidelines, the Professor will regard the mark as originally
assigned to be final. NO MARKS will be changed at a later date.
It is important to note that the Professor reserves the right to remark the entire assignment in question and to
either leave the mark as is or to change it positively or negatively as required.
Exam Policy: Deferred exam option. Students who are unable to write the midterm will have their marks
transferred to their final exam once your reasons for missing is deemed appropriate by the University. You must
submit the reason for your absence along with proof to the Student Services Centre (DMS 1100) of the Telfer
School of Management within five (5) business days of missing the exam. If you are unable to write the final exam
on the scheduled date and time, please contact the Student Services Centre (DMS 1100) of the Telfer School of
Management immediately. All concerns pertaining to the final exams should be directed to the Telfer School’s
undergraduate.
