* Multiple choice
'op scan' sheets are used. Each Student must use a lead pencil 'to
fill in the dots' and code their Student Number correctly. Each
Student is responsible for the legibility of their opscan sheet.
Fresh sheets will be issued any time during an exam. No
additional time is allowed to copy a sheet or make corrections after the testing
period. Failure to correctly code Student
Number will result in delay of results and possible demerit.
The weight of a missed
midterm (10%) may or may not be transferred to the final exam (35 to 45%)
depending on the reason -
sickness, family emergency, jury duty, etc. Documentation
will be required for any absence.
Approximately 75% of testable material
will be from the text and/or posted on this website as lecture notes. 25% will be identified in Class.
** Pop Quiz: analytic geometry & symbolic
equations: name the lines; in words, name or verbalize (read out) the symbolic
equation. Time - any time during any Class but not necessarily
each and every Class. 15 minutes.
*** Class Presentation will be a
five to 7 minute Argument (making a point). Presentations may take
the form of oral delivery of a written work (2 1/2 to 3 letter
pages - double spaced - 12 pt), or a video, graphic or multi-media
Presentation. It is subject to 'peer review' by the entire
Class - Instructor and Students - with time called by the
Instructor. The subject is to be a Topic or Theme drawn from the Course Outline
below. The Argument may be 'theoretical' or 'real world',
for example, What factors fuel Demand for Ipods? Or, What factors
fuel its production and evolution? A Class Grading Rubric with be
used and the same
'Ballot' completed by each Student for each Presentation
excepting one's own.
PRESENTATION RUBRIC
Definitions: 5%
Assumptions: 5%
Engaging: 5%
Informative: 5%
Clarity: 5%
Total Grade: 25%
Rhetoric - in any media - matters! The
Art of Argument. What's your point?
Team play, with appropriate time adjustment, is possible subject to strict rules of honourable
conduct. After initial approval the Team will be subject to
ongoing counseling by the Instructor who may summarily disband the Team
setting new assignments for each student.
Cross-Section Team Presentations will be
considered but presented only once.
Individual Students & Teams must submit a
written Plan: Objective, Strategy, Tactics & Logistics **** for
approval by the Instructor on or before the first class after the
1st Midterm exam. The Instructor will counsel Students &
Teams on progress towards their Presentation during office hours and by
email.
Presentations will begin immediately
after the 2nd Midterm.
Rules apply to all Sections
of Econ 115 I teach Winter 2012.
**** Standard
Military Planning Model: Objective, Strategy, Tactics, Logistics
What is your objective? What is it you want to achieve? What strategy or
overall design do you have in mind? Does the design or strategy allow
you to break it down into functional elements - tactics? References, for
example? And putting it all together with fingers to keyboard, mouse,
camera, etc. involves logistics - securing the material
instruments and supplies you need to do the job.. Then, of course, you
must bring together all the elements into a final campaign that uses
logistics to build the tactical means to actualize the strategy and
thereby achieve your objective.
