Class Activities: The approach in this course includes lectures, cases, and several active learning sessions. The cases are intended to illustrate the basic concepts of operations management as they apply to a variety of organizations and industries. Because of the use of cases, the discussion between you, your classmates, and the instructor will be an important vehicle for learning these concepts. We will also have in-class quizzes and practice exercises.
Team Deliverables: There are 3 case submissions and 1 project deliverable. The dates and topics of all submissions are shown in the submissions schedule table of the Syllabus that will be distributed in class. All 4 deliverables are to be done in study teams. Students are responsible to form study teams on own. The team size should be 4 to 5 students. Details of each submission will be provided in Aula Global. Peer evaluations will be conducted at the end of the course.
Quizzes: A total of 3 Quizzes will be taken individually during some of the "grupos reducidos" sessions. Each quiz will be done closed book and closed notes, but a formula sheet will be allowed.
There will be two types of Office Hours, one type will be offered in-person at the instructor's office and the second type virtually (on Google Meet) by appointment. The specific times of the in-person office hours will be described in the syllabus of the course.
