- 2015 Role playing scenario
Students will take on various roles on the environmental committee of a fictitious manufacturing company, the Acme Chemical Company. One assignment will involve two "virtual meetings" taking place during the weekly discussion timeslot where environmental problems will be reviewed and an environmental management system will be discussed. This will be worth 5% of your overall grade, and this is largely based on the quality of your participation. The purpose of this is to bring home the realities of trying to implement environmental improvements in a manufacturing business. It will also provide the context for the case presentation (see below).
- Case presentation
You will also need to write a paper making the case for the company to invest in something to meet its sustainability goals. This is worth 10% of your total grade. The first draft of case presentations are due by approximately July 23rd, and the final draft of case presentations are due by approximately July 27th; the exact dates will depend on your project and your discussion times. Work will be submitted to the wiki under the Creative Commons license and may be published more widely (though they can be deleted upon request by the student). Work may initially be done offline in word processing software such as Microsoft Word, but it should be uploaded and formatted for the wiki in order to receive a grade. Alternatively, it may be done using presentation software such as Microsoft Powerpoint or Prezi; I can help you upload this to the wiki.
There is a downloadable rubric that can be viewed online, to show what affects your grade for this activity.
