Class Requirements

Students can earn one unit of credit (Pass/Fail) by registering for MS&E 472 on Axess and completing the course requirements below.

During the first week of classes, sign up for ETL online.

Returning students: you no longer need register for the forum; the new signup process automatically registers you on the ETL forums.

Every week, fulfill the following requirements:

  1. Attend Lecture
  2. Enrolled students must attend at least 7 of the 8 lectures in person and note the attendance code on the handout for later entry online.

    SCPD students (and others who have obtained written consent from the TA) may watch lectures online and do not need to enter the code.

  3. Submit Attendance Online
  4. Submit the attendance code from the handout within a week of the session, and fill out the attached speaker evaluation.

  5. Post on Forums
  6. Post a meaningful comment (details below) of at least 5 lines in length to the ETL forum for each session attended within a week of the session.

To pass, you must complete the three components above each week. We do not allow incompletes.

Questions

All policy and grading questions should be directed to the TA.

Comments

A meaningful comment is a reasonably insightful statement or question that contributes to the learning of the Stanford ETL community. Post questions or statements related to what you learned from an Entrepreneurial Thought Leader, and how you might apply it in an entrepreneurial leadership situation you are facing now or may face in the future. Also, you are encouraged to post comments that answer other classmates' questions or questions about classmates' assumptions and logic if they make a comment that does not make sense to you. Our goal is to create learning through dialogue and discussion among course participants.

A meaningful comment is not a carelessly worded statement or question that detracts from the learning of the Stanford ETL community, or that contains hatred, violence, obscenity, pornography, sexual harassment or verbal attacks that are not consistent with the laws of the United States and/or the values of the Stanford University learning community.
