  • Altis Case Study

    Introduction

    Case studies bring real-world situations into the classroom. They are designed to immerse you into a situation and put you in the position of making some decisions. Management is about decision-making and case studies are a good way of assessing your comfort level with making decisions with limited information and under pressure. You need to think carefully about risks, costs, returns and timing.

    Your first reaction after reading a case study might be a feeling of being overwhelmed. After reading the case again you might start to wonder whether there is enough information to make a decision. Don’t despair. Cases are written to give you a real sense of the information available to the people in the case and why decisions need to be made quickly. There are no right or wrong answers to case studies. They are an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in this class and previous classes, use critical thinking and demonstrate your analytical and decision-making skills.

    Some advice for tackling this case study: 1) Read the case thoroughly, including the appendices/exhibits which contain many details necessary to make your arguments; 2) identify the central business issues from the more trivial ones; 3) identify overarching strategies rather than details; 4) identify the constraints of the situation; 5) identify all the possible courses of action; 6) evaluate each of the alternatives in light of the available information in the case and 7) make recommendations based on your evaluation. You do not need to do any research beyond the information included in the case study – please do not add information about the company outside the case study. More general information on how to approach a case study is available from these websites:

    Details

    Reflecting on the material we have covered this semester:

    1. Download and read the Altis case study (under Course Content->Week12). Read it again and take notes based on the advice above.
    2. Write a paper, at least 6 pages but no longer than 8 pages, answering the following questions:
      • What are your recommendations for the company? Please compare all the options open to the company using quantitative and qualitative details from the case study and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages before making your recommendation. Think about costs, possible risks, and the return on investment (ROI).
      • What are your recommendations regarding Altis’s plan to expand to an overseas market? Please compare all the options open to the company using quantitative and qualitative details from the case study (do not overlook the exhibits) and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages before making your recommendation.
      • How would you justify your recommendations to would-be investors in the company? Identify the details from the case that investors are most likely to be interested in. Propose additional recommendations Altis could make entice more potential investors.
      • What is/are your recommendation(s) regarding Altis’s long-term strategic direction? What could the company look like in 10 years from the time of the case study? Describe the current strategies the company could pursue now, that could influence its future directions.
    3. Edit your paper – you do not need to reiterate the scenario, or facts from the case study unless you are using them to support your argument; please make sure that you clearly answer each of the questions – you will not get any credit for details not relevant to these questions; please support your arguments with quantitative and qualitative information from the case, do not overlook the exhibits at the end and be prepared to analyze numbers into other key parameters; do not jump to conclusions – think about the ladder of inference; don’t forget to thinking about the business concepts we have learned about this semester and the distinction between sound business decisions and keeping one set of stakeholders “happy”! Please remember to use the assignment format as described in the syllabus and APA style.

    Grading Rubric

    What: 1 case study assignment posted in your Assignments Folder. The paper should be no more than 8 pages in length and use APA format. Your response to each question should be clear and in the form of prose.

  • BIO Essay Assignment

    BIG PICTURE: What This Whole Project Is

    You are writing a 7501200 word scientific essay comparing:

    Two integumentary structures in two chordates

    OR

    Explaining an unexpected relationship between two integumentary structures

    Your audience = BIO 201 + BIO 344 students (scientific but not specialists)

    Your essay must:

    • Focus on one central comparison
    • Include evolutionary context (homology, homoplasy, convergence, synapomorphy, etc.)
    • Use peer-reviewed sources
    • Be clearly organized
    • Be accurate

    Part 1: Topic & Thesis Assignment

    What You Must Do

    According to the prompt :

    1? Pick Your Topic

    In a few words, state what you are comparing.

    Example:

    • Feathers vs. Mammalian Hair
    • Fish Scales vs. Reptile Scales
    • Cetacean Hair Loss and Evolution

    2? Write a Thesis Statement

    The outline rubric says your thesis must:

    • Be present
    • Clearly relate topic + purpose

    Your thesis should:

    • Make an argument
    • State what you will prove
    • Mention evolutionary context

    Weak thesis:

    This paper compares feathers and hair.

    Strong thesis:

    Although feathers and mammalian hair both function in insulation, they are not homologous structures but represent convergent evolutionary solutions to thermoregulation, shaped by distinct developmental pathways and evolutionary histories.

    3? Provide 3 Peer-Reviewed Sources

    For each:

    • Full citation
    • 12 sentences explaining how it supports your thesis

    They must be scientific, peer-reviewed.

    Part 2: Outline

    This is about organization + logic.

    The outline rubric requires :

    Include:

    1. Your thesis statement
    2. At least TWO lines of evidence
    3. One must discuss evolutionary context
    4. Each line must have at least one peer-reviewed source
    5. Clear logical structure

    What Lines of Evidence Means

    Not just random facts.

    Each section should support your thesis.

    Example structure:

    I. Introduction

    • Background
    • Thesis

    II. Structure & Development

    • Developmental origin
    • Supporting citation

    III. Evolutionary History

    • Homology vs convergence
    • Phylogenetic context
    • Citation

    IV. Function & Trade-offs

    • Insulation
    • Display
    • Constraints

    V. Conclusion

    How They Grade It (Outline Rubric)

    You lose points if:

    • No evolutionary context
    • Evidence doesnt connect to thesis
    • Poor flow
    • No peer-reviewed sources

    Topic vs. Thesis Statement ~

    A topic is different from a thesis statement. Assignment 4 asks for both.

    A topic is 1-3 keywords that helps the reader/grader broadly categorize your paper

    A thesis statement is 1-2 sentences that that tell the reader the main point.

    • You can think of it as what you would write if your whole paper were boiled down to one tweet.
    • Should be a complete sentence.

    Example:

    • A topic (not a thesis): sexual selection
    • Neither (not an argument, just a question): Why does sexual selection appear to produce some very unfit phenotypes?
    • A thesis (a sentence): When one sex is the agent of selection, the fitness benefits of the optimal trait will “selfishly” go to that sex, whether or not the benefit of that particular trait is also shared with the opposite

    • For this assignment, make a visual representation of your four data sets (four graphs). All tables and graphs must have a number (ie: Fig 1), title, clearly labeled axes, and brief figure legend.
    • Under each graph, write a brief legend (1-2 sentence) description of each graph and what it shows. Important: You MUST be clear when presenting your data. Labeling a point as “Tube 5 does not tell anything useful unless there is a legend on the graph that indicates WHAT Tube 5 was!
    • Do your graphs in Excel or Google docs. Transfer completed graphs to a Word document for submission. Grading criteria: Graphs must be neat and easy to read,
    • All four graphs are labeled as to the x and y axis, with a heading or title that gives an overview of the graph.
    • Graphs have a clear key that identifies the contents of each tube (ie: not “Tube 5” but “pH7“, for instance.
    • The legend under each graph gives a 1-2 sentence description that describes the experimental setup (1st sentence) and the overall result (2nd sentence).
