    Input that was picked up on and responded to by others in class. Thus,controversial, yet intelligent, questions or comments that reflect an understandingof the issue at hand will be well regarded.

    Input that demonstrates an in-depth analysis of the issue at hand, well supportedby data or a relevant conceptual framework.

    Input that makes connections between material or ideas in different parts of thecourse or between this and other courses.

    Input that provides an example, from your own observations, of the subject athand.

    Active participation in group team activities in class.

    Finally, civility in the give and take of a heated discussion is a requirement. Thecases are designed to provoke disagreement, and there typically exists more than

    one viable approach to resolving the problems presented in the case.

    These comments are intended to give you a general sense of what I am looking for in ourdiscussions, and are intended to prepare you to be able to contribute to organizationaldecision-making in the business world.
