Course Policies
▪ Attendance: Students are expected to attend class and to arrive on time. Only one absence is
allowed with prior permission. More than one absence may result in reduction of grade.
▪ Quizzes: Throughout the semester, some surprise quizzes may be taken. Students will be
evaluated on the average quizzes. Quiz dates, question type and other details will not be
announced in the classes in advance. There will be absolutely no makeup of quizzes for those
who will be missing.
▪ Lecture Slide: Lecture slides will be available for the students in digital form. Students are
welcome to collect those after end of the class from classroom, from my office during office
hours.
▪ Consultation Hour: Students are most welcome to make appointment at the time convenient to
both the teacher & students.
▪ Classroom Behavior: I expect you to conduct yourself with academic courtesy in the classroom.
In other words, you should be in your seat and ready to start when class begins. You should not
talk to other students during lectures unless directed to do so by the instructor. You should not
talk on a cell phone at any time during class or exams.
▪ Teams: Teams should be formed by the second week of class. Formation of teams will be left to
your discretion, but I encourage you to include some variety in terms of gender, ethnicity,
experience, etc. Teams are required to formally meet with the instructor during the fourth and
seventh week of the course to address the final models progress and/or any issues (please note the
instructor is willing to meet earlier should teams have any questions). The class presentation
should be no more than 10 minutes (teams will be allocated a 5-minute setup time) and presented
in a professional manner using PowerPoint. At this stage of your educational career, the instructor
expects a polished presentation and will grade accordingly. At a minimum, the presentation
should include a demonstration of the model and dialog regarding the business case, assumptions
and modeling techniques employed.
