Case Studies and Team Projects

The course emphasizes primarily on the case studies and team projects rather than the lectures given in the class. Students are grouped into several teams to work on projects proposed by themselves in the midterm examination. Grades are given based primarily on the performance of a team in the final report and individual contribution to the team work.
