Participation
 Participation in class
There will be 25 in-class discussions/exercises in this course. At the end of each
discussion/exercise, students who have participated will have an opportunity to respond
to a question posed by me, which will require you to consider your own views on a
controversial issue, or to apply what you have learned in class to a hypothetical dilemma
you might face as a manager. Each team has been given a folder in which to keep their
discussion participation forms (you are welcome to take out the forms once they are
returned to you). I will collect these folders on an approximate weekly basis.
