- Term Consulting Project :
We will be conducting a situation analysis for the author of a book.
The details of the project are in a
separate document.
Students will be working in teams of about four or five.
The final deliverable product of each team's consulting efforts
will be a written environmental assessment (probably around
fifteen or twenty pages) and a formal presentation to the client.
The author is a pastor and the book is of a religious nature.
The project will require a systematic analysis of the marketing environment for
this proposed product and nothing more; you are not to bring any personal views
of religion or philosophy into our class discussions, into your team discussions,
into the written report, or into the oral presentation to the client.
If you feel uncomfortable with the topic of this project, please make an appointment
for a time outside of class to discuss an alternative assignment with the professor.
- Attendance :
Students are expected to attend and participate in all class sessions.
Exams will be based in large part on issues discussed in class.
Team meetings will be a formal part of our class meetings,
and students who are not present to complete graded assignments
associated with these meetings will be compensated with a
score of zero for that day of work.
- Evaluation Methods :
Students will be evaluated on the basis of performance on
two in-class exams (50%, individual),
in-class meetings with a consulting team (10%),
a team written draft consulting report (10%),
a team written final consulting report (15%),
and a team oral consulting presentation (15%).
Scores on the team written and oral work may be
adjusted by ratings that each team member makes of
each team colleague.
- Grading System :
Final grades will be based on the following totals in points:
A=540-600 points
B=480-539
C=420-479
D=360-419
E=000-359
Where:
150=Exam 1

60=In-class Team Meetings

90=Final Team Report
