Assignments
The coursework follows one real warehouse through five connected report parts, each assessed with a 10-point rubric in one final management report and its supporting code. The group may curate and reorganize its strongest insights to build one coherent management argument; the code must retain the traceable evidence needed for the rubrics. All requirement descriptions and rubrics are visible from the beginning. Completing the formative WH-AS1 draft is required for that final-report part to be graded, and each student must also complete the required peer-review process. Canvas remains authoritative for submissions, grades, and current communication.
