The case examination will be “take home” exams where you are expected to demonstrate your knowledge of the assigned reading material by applying that material to both analyze the case as well as to provide solution strategies. Therefore, your case analyses should include in-text references and a reference list indicating what sources you consulted to help you understand the case (and the associated case problems) and develop solution strategies. A minimum of five (5) pages of text is expected since you must first summarize the case (usually in one page), describe both the causes and effects of problems within the case (supported by “theory”) and then offer alternative solutions for addressing those problems (fix the causes and thereby eliminate the effects). The case is posted on Brightspace and is to be submitted through Brightspace for grading.
Please note that all work for this course will be processed through TurnitIn to ensure proper citations and reduce “accidental” plagiarism. Those whose work receive high scores (usually over 30%) will be asked to address the concerns raised and resubmit their work (with no penalty the first time around).
Note: You are not allowed to use artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) tools, such as ChatGPT or Dall-E, on assignments, exams, and/or presentations in this course. You are expected to complete each assignment without substantive assistance from others, including AI/MI automated tools. TurnitIn now has the capabilities of detecting the use of AI and if detected will be treated similarly to plagiarized material.
