Assessment Elements

• Homework
  Homework includes a variety of individual and group assignments given to complete at home. Some homework will be checked in class during seminars; some assignments will be submitted online and graded by the instructor.
• Agile Project
  The goal of the project is twofold: (1) to investigate how organizations manage change and innovation during economic sanctions and (2) to acquire experience working in an agile team. Students identify a company that is undergoing an organizational change due to sanctions, collect information from primary and secondary sources on change management, analyze and critique the organization’s approach to change implementation, and provide a set of solutions to improve the effectiveness of change management in this company. The use of Trello is mandatory for assignment completion. Students have several weeks to complete the assignment. The grade for the assignment will consist of a grade for a preliminary results PPT presentation, a written final report (executive summary + appendices), and a final PPT presentation. Additional details, deadlines, and evaluation criteria will be provided by the instructors on the project start date and uploaded to SmartLMS.
• Lecture Engagement Points
  These are small assignments given during each lecture in an electronic format. Students might be asked to do an additional reading or watch a video before each lecture to complete LEPs.
• Quiz
  This is one multiple-choice, yes/no, and fill in the blanks type of quiz given in an electronic format. The quiz consists of 10 questions. The quiz includes material included in class activities (lectures, seminars, homework) and in the textbook prior to the quiz. The correct answer to each question is worth 1 point. The maximum number of points for the quiz is 10. Students complete the quiz individually. Students have 10 minutes to complete the quiz. This is a “pop-up” quiz: The quiz will be administered during a lecture or a seminar sometime in the middle of the module, but the exact date will not be announced, so students should be diligent in completing homework, readings, and other assignments. To take the exam, students must show their student ID/password. During the exam, students must keep brightness of the phone/computer screen at 100%. During the quiz, students are not allowed to (1) use any sources other than those permitted by the instructors, including any other programs on the cell phone/computer, (2) leave the classroom and come back, (3) share questions and answers with others. Those who violate these or other classroom policies receive a grade of “0” for the quiz.
