Greetings!

Case MethodThis week we will be starting our first Case Method of two for the semester. This program started at Harvard Business School and Case Method is like a socratic seminar structure where you will create arguments based on evidence to support the stances. You will have questions posed and you will have two grades for this. The first is the annotations of the case itself (highlighting, writing comments to the side) and the other is participating in the class discussion. You will notice I am writing initials on the board as we go, this is just so I can make sure I'm keeping track of who said what as we go along.

Court Cases Quiz Our court cases quiz is this Wednesday. Make sure you are using your foldable and game to look over the cases and so you are ready for the quiz. You will have these cases again on your final exam and a cluster of them will be the written response for your final exam as well.

End of the Grading Period - March 15th This Tuesday, second day back from break, is the END of the first grading period. We are officially half way there! Make sure if you haven't been keeping up with your binder that you have a sit down fix it moment so you are ready when final exam review comes because it will be here before you know it. You will be allowed to use your binder on the end of semester quiz so make sure you have everything in order or you will run out of time and it will be what it is...
