COURSE ASSESSMENTS
Attendance and Quiz (20%): Attendance in
ALL classes for the FULL CLASS PERIOD is
expected. Absence in any class is not tolerated, and will
result in your grade being lowered. Students will take a
quiz after every two lectures. The quizzes will be
multiple-choice questions only.
Discussion (15%): Each
student is expected to take an active part in classroom
discussion activities. I expect you to share your thoughts
and insights with your classmates for the topics given in
class. I will keep a record each class for your frequencies
as well as quality in participation. Sources for discussion
topics will come form the textbook, the current issues from
Business Week, and the business field trips in Taiwan.
Group Presentation (20%): Each student will be
assigned to a group with 3~4 students. In the period in
Taiwan, we will visit at lest 2~3 IT component manufacturers
to learn their production process and how to meet the
demand. I will assign each group with a particular firm to
present the demand estimation and cost analysis for the firm
by MS Excel and PowerPoint in the end of semester. Data,
presentation format, and grading rule will be given in
Taiwan. Each student is expected to participate in
presentation and all students in the same group will receive
the same grade.
Term Paper (20%): Each student will turn in an
industry analysis term paper which focuses on IT
manufacturing industry in Taiwan and is limited within 10
pages. The submission of term paper is via email to the
instructor and the due is at 11:00pm, 8/10 (i.e. students
are supposed to work on it after coming back to the U.S.).
The detailed instruction of the term paper will be available
in June, 2008 on my WebCT supplemental website.
Final Exam (25%): It will be given on 7/29 in
Taiwan and contain 60 multiple-choice questions in 3-hour
