Course Approach
This course will be taught using the Socratic Method of inquisitive class participation. Cases will be extensively used. We plan to have guest speakers as well. There is a substantial amount of reading and preparation that you will complete daily in preparation for class. The purpose of the class time is not to recite the facts of the readings, but to use the facts of the case as inputs to your arguments and positions in class.
The main purpose of the class time is to explore your understanding of your positions, to stimulate rational thinking and illuminate ideas. As such, the professor will regularly call upon you to present your positions regardless of whether you volunteer. You will have to explain that position to others in the class and be subject to the critique of the professor and the other classmates. As in the real world, there is often no single “right” answer and you will lack complete information. Regular class attendance and sincere engagement in the case discussions is essential to achieve the learning objectives and to pass the course. I must emphasize this point that merely attending the class with no engagement will result in failure for a major section of your grade.

The course project is based on the 5Ps of Life is a framework developed by the instructor.

Note on Grading
Class Discussion Grading:
Grading of your Remarks is based on three things:
Relevance to the TOPIC at hand (make sure to answer the question being raised),
Quality of Comments - the comment should be something that advances the class understanding on the topic.
Frequency of Participation. You should try to have one comment in each class and should raise your hand therefore at least a couple of times during each class.

I will also provide opportunities to make comments online using a Content Platform. I will discuss this in class.
Since Class Participation accounts for a large part of the discussion, I will give you feedback after the first Day of Class if you are in the bottom 20% of the class for Class Participation. Also, if you would like to receive an A during the class, please let me know in advance and I will also send feedback if you are on track to meeting that goal.




Group/Individual Project:
To be Announced 3 weeks before class - it will be based on students developing their own 5P Proposition. (Purpose, Product, Price, Place/Distribution, Promotion) Guidance on specific research and analysis will be provided.
