Case Grading Criteria - 25%: Identification of Key Issues - Realizing that there are numerous issues, choose those which are the most critical to the future success of the organization at the time of the case. These key issues may arise from any part of the organization, thus they need not be limited to people, i.e. systems and procedures may be of the utmost importance at any one time. (For term projects, updating of the information is recommended).

25%: Application of Theory - Complement your good ideas and common sense with the ‘tools' of this class, i.e. class/text theory, (past FIU, the ‘tools' of your profession will be developed as you develop as a professional). By adding this perspective to your work, both for class AND past FIU, it will be stronger in its content, and ultimately, more convincing to your reader. 25% Recommendations - Past FIU, the quality of your recommendations will be a critical factor in your success. Recommendations should, if possible, include alternatives so as to increase objectivity. Also, there should be reasoning that "sells" your idea, both in theory and implementation, i.e. the "why, who, how, when, etc." of your idea.

25% Presentation - Organizing and delivering your ideas in a succinct and logical manner is vital to the success of your work, for if the presentation is poor, your good ideas could get lost. Grammar and syntax is vital, for a reader can get distracted to the point of losing the message, and your credibility can be damaged by the inability to write effectively, i.e. typos can leave a lasting impression. Proofreading by a third party is highly recommended.
