| Assessment methods and criteria |
Student performance is assessed through short assignments and article critiques, a comparative article review presentation, a case-analysis decision memo, a thematic research seminar, a term project report, and the presentation and oral defence of the term project. The assessment criteria include conceptual accuracy, critical use of the literature, justification of the selected methods and metrics, definition of the baseline, validation approach, operational feasibility, academic writing, and presentation competence. |
| Work Placement |
This course does not include an internship or work placement. The course includes in-class case analyses, research seminars, and project-based activities. |
