Assessment Criteria

1. Midterm and Final Exam: Students will be assessed on their knowledge of concepts and theories through an essay-type written exam semester
2. Term Project: Groups will do an observation in a real business environment about simulation models and prepare a written report based on the format given by the instructor. They are expected to share their observation with their class-mates through oral presentations.
3. Class Discussions and Presentation: Students will be given certain cases or questions related to the concepts covered in the class. Groups will debate on the topics and present their opinions. Students are expected to contribute to class discussions.
