There are five mini cases. Two groups will be assigned to lead each case (see below). The two presenting teams will be given ten minutes to present to class. This accounts for 20% of your course grade and is a group mark. Your presentation will be evaluated on three main components; quality of content, professionalism and persuasiveness of the presentation and the effective answering of the questions.
The presentation will answer “The Ask” in your given role. It will be a maximum of ten powerpoint slides with accompanying speaker notes submitted in a single PDF.
All of the other students are expected to prepare for discussion and critique on all cases. On days when students are not presenting, each student who is not presenting will participate in the question period and submit a feedback critique on each presentation they observe. TIP: you cannot do this well by just showing up – you need to have a detailed understanding of the case. This critique and feedback will represent 20% ( 4 x 5%) of your course grade. This is an individual mark.

Guidance on slide format for mini cases and group project. Your document should be submitted as a pdf, in “speaker note” mode. That is, with the top half of the page as the slide, and the bottom half as “reader notes.” Do not run over beyond the bottom of the page – so preview font size and layout carefully. Use this space as a formal part of your work and submission to provide the detail on research and analysis that you cannot reasonably put into an effective slide.

These are provided to show you the format of slides with good use of “reader notes” and use of course concepts. They are for inspiration, not for copying.
