Scorecard
Your credits will be tracked on the personal balanced scorecard
which you will receive on the first day of class. Do not lose this
card as it is necessary for your final grade. Cards will be collected
on the final day of class
Minimum wage
Each day of the program consists of 6.5 hours of class. The exam
day, consists of 3 hours of class presentations. You will be paid the
USA minimum wage of $7.25 per hour of class attendance.
This means that you will receive $116.00 for full on-time
attendance (12 hours) at all sessions.
Unannounced lateness will be deducted (see bonuses and
penalties chart below). If you know in advance that you will be late
or absent, report it to one of the facilitators to negotiate make up
time and avoid being penalized.
Bonuses and penalties
Your grade will also be affected by your ability to put US values into
practice both as an individual and as a team player.
Your fellow classmates and teammates, as well as facilitators, may
use dollars to motivate you either in the form of incentives or
penalties. You will be paid a cash advance of $25.00 upon arrival to
use as you wish in these course activities.
The facilitators, the whole class and individual teams may develop
norms and guidelines for rewards and penalties as the course
proceeds. Below are examples of behaviors that will be awarded or
penalized. US values of equality and fairness as well as playing by
the rules tend to reward and penalize these behaviors both formally
and informally.
