7. Assessment Methods and Plan

Student’s performance will be assessed based on assignments, quizzes and case

study given as mentioned in the course calendar, mid-term and final examination.

The mid-term exam conducted during the 8th week will consist of the syllabus

from the first half of the semester. The mid-term and final examinations will

constitute a significant portion of overall grade. The final examination will consist

of the material from the second half of the semester.

The final examination is conducted during the 15th week. Students have to strictly

follow the deadline instructions failing which the students will not be awarded

marks for that particular assessment method.

If a student for some reason, (because of personal emergency, falling sick) missesthe mid-term or final examination he/she should report immediately to the course

instructor and the Vice President Academic Affairs for an appropriate action to be

taken.

Incomplete course work or missing out any examination will result in “F” grade,

unless the student submits an “Incomplete coursework” in order to get an “I”

grade upon the agreed terms/conditions after 2 weeks of start of the next

semester, automatically this “I” grade becomes “F” if the student does not fulfill

the requirements of the course.

8. Course Methodology

This course is delivered in a classroom environment as lectures, presentations

using PowerPoint slides. Students are encouraged to be more interactive with

instructor and fellow students. For all case study activities, students are required

to read about and discuss each case and answer the questions. After 7th week



there will be Mid-term Examination and the Final examination will be in the 15th

week.
