The 2006 course is my continuous experiment to design and create a course
for electronic classroom in the future. Nevertheless, IDM requires a lot of
visual comprehension, which challenges the instructor to
integrate both digital materials and non-digital
ones. Students taking this course share the
responsibilities to convert the non-digital parts to all
digital style for future course. Of course, people
interactions, such as classroom discussion and
Q&As, are necessary chemical reactions and can never be
replaced by digital media. As a result, participants
are expected to:
1) participate in discussion and to keep up
with the ever changing world in IDM with news update
2) write up 1 company case analyses covered in this course
3) organize a study group to cover several companies in the same level of
industry
4) choose an IDM in-depth topic to address the recent
development in IDM
The number of group and size of group will be
adjusted according to the number of students
enrolled. As a rule of thumb, a group of 2 students
is ideal for such an arrangement and grading
system. Suggestions on how to enhance the assignments are welcome anytime.
