Formative vs. Summative 

Formative stages allow you to learn various topics with a clear focus on only that topic. Summative stags allow you to integrate everything you have learnt through out the formative stages to fully analyze the situation. 

Topic Discussions (Case Notes) 

We will be tackling 6 cases this semester, 2 on each of the 3 topics. 

You will be submitted a short analysis of the case prior to coming to class in order to ensure proper discussions.

The submission times are 5pm the day before our class. You can of course do them in advance. 

Be mindful that each case adds value to your final LIA project, therefore ensure that your notes are organized and easily searchable.
