Module structure (Internet, Fall 2009)

Overview

EPID600 is organized as a series of modules. Each module has a lecture, textbook and/or additional reading, and a case study reading and assignment. The following table shows the structure of a typical module. The module extends over two weeks, with the second week devoted to group work on the case study. During the first week each student works the case study and submits her/his answers to selected questions, for credit. During the second week (Wed2, Fri2) the group agrees on a set of answers which are submitted for grading.
