15 Final Examination
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
