Carrying out fieldwork

Lectures, class discussions on research papers, and presentations are planned as class activities. All students are advised to participate in said activities, failing which students will suffer in respect of learning and grades. In order to assess achievement of course objectives and attainment of learning outcomes, there will be a mechanism of formative evaluation. The students also need to submit the term paper//research proposal at end of semester. Guidelines will be provided to write the term paper.

Class discussion 50%, Final presentation 50%

Feedback will be given on a Weekly Basis on Assignments and Tests

Class preparation: Students should read the assigned study material before entering the class. This would make them ready for discussion with different perspectives.
Attendance: Students are required to attend all the classes and abide by the university rules regarding attendance requirement. Students are fully responsible for the information missed in the class due to absence.
Assignments: In fairness to students who complete assignments on time, late assignments will not be accepted. Students must turn in the assignments at the end of the lecture on the day they are due.
Minimizing disruptions: All cell phones should be turned off during class. Do not involve inside conversations.
Class Participation: Positive, healthy and constructive class participation will be monitored for each class. Particular emphasis will be given during the presentation sessions. The manner in which the question is asked or answered will also be noted. Your behavior as a business student in the class will contribute to the class participation marks.
