Case details are provided in the "IB 8710 Cases, Materials for Case Briefs, and Readings" available at The Print Shop, #6 Decatur Street. Everyone will complete the first two cases. The third case will vary by assigned by group number. Even-numbered groups will read and answer the questions to Case Singapore Tradenet. Odd-numbered groups will read and answer the questions to Case National Information Infrastrucutre: The United States in Perspective.

All course projects will be team-executed in groups of three - five, depending on class size. These groups should function as a self-managed team and work cooperatively to accomplish tasks. Participation in the course projects should be relatively equal among the group members, with each member monitoring both one’s own level and quality of participation and that of the other members of the group. Self-managed teams are free to make decisions about their own processes, including matters such as who will serve on the team. You will need to inform the instructor of your team members by the 2nd class period. Peer appraisals will be part of the overall grading/evaluation of individual performance. Final course grade may change based, in part, on peer appraisals. In the best managed teams, consensus on the relative contributions of each of the team members will be derived through assessment of documentable facts and records, evaluation of team output, and evaluation of team processes.

Specs for the projects will be found in the IB 8710 Course Packet
