via the internet for the rest of their own “virtual group.”
- Group members in each “virtual group” will
read the cases posted by their own group and provide comments/feedback/questions
via online discussion to each of the authors.
- Authors will consider the comments from the online discussion
in revising the case prior to submitting it for grading.
- The course Faculty will read one draft of the case and
provide commentary on the literature and analysis.
- After revising the case based on input from members of
the “virtual group” and the course Faculty, each case will
be submitted to the course Faculty for grading.
