CM108G 1151 Management | Weekly Rubric Framework
Status: English learner-facing draft v0.1 | 2026-09-06 | prepared for Microsoft Teams
1. Format gate before grading
- Check that the assignment body and log are both present, readable, and saved as Markdown or TXT.
- If AI was used, check for exporter evidence. If AI was not used, check for a clear non-use statement and a record of sources and reasoning.
- For group work, check the full list of student IDs and official Chinese names.
- If the gate is not met, return the submission for resubmission. Do not replace the resubmission rule with a zero for content.
- After the gate is met, grade the work with the 100-point rubric and then apply the late policy using the Teams submission time: 15% off for ordinary late work and 30% off for work first submitted after the semester ends.
The teacher's latest weekly announcement decides whether AI is forbidden, allowed, or required. A shared rubric does not give students permission to use AI on its own.
2. Shared 100-point rubric
R1 | Management concept and problem understanding (25 points)
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| 4 / 22–25 | Defines the week's management problem accurately, uses the concept correctly, and explains why it fits the case. |
| 3 / 17–21 | Understands the main problem and concept, with only small gaps in precision. |
| 2 / 10–16 | Mentions a relevant concept, but the problem definition or case connection is incomplete. |
| 1 / 1–9 | Mostly lists terms or opinions without addressing the week's management task. |
| 0 / 0 | No assessable work is submitted. |
R2 | Evidence, sources, and case application (25 points)
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| 4 / 22–25 | Major judgments are supported by specific case evidence or clearly labeled assumptions; sources can be checked and limits are stated. |
| 3 / 17–21 | Most judgments have evidence or case support, with a few weak links or missing limits. |
| 2 / 10–16 | Some evidence is present, but the connection to the conclusion is weak or guesses are written as facts. |
| 1 / 1–9 | Little checkable support is provided, or much of the work is copied from untraceable AI or web text. |
| 0 / 0 | No usable evidence or sources are submitted. |
R3 | Management tool and practical use (25 points)
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| 4 / 22–25 | The required tool is complete and specific. It identifies the people, order, measures, backup, or next steps needed to use the judgment. |
| 3 / 17–21 | The tool is mostly complete and usable, with one or two areas needing more detail. |
| 2 / 10–16 | Part of the tool is present, but much of the work remains a slogan, summary, or recommendation without a next step. |
| 1 / 1–9 | Major parts are missing and the tool cannot support a management decision or action. |
| 0 / 0 | The required tool is not submitted. |
R4 | Reasoning, revision, and responsibility (25 points)
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| 4 / 22–25 | The log is traceable. It shows the starting judgment, checks, AI use if any, reasons for revisions, and each group member's actual contribution. |
| 3 / 17–21 | The log and main revisions are present, and responsibility is mostly clear, but some process detail is missing. |
| 2 / 10–16 | The log is mostly a result or scattered notes, so the reasoning and group integration are difficult to follow. |
| 1 / 1–9 | The log is incomplete or member contributions are unclear. If the format gate is also broken, return the work for resubmission first. |
| 0 / 0 | No assessable process record is submitted. |
R4 grades the quality of a compliant log. Missing required files, invalid formats, missing exporter evidence, or an incomplete group list are handled by the format gate first.
3. Weekly focus
| Week | Concept and problem | Evidence and application | Tool and practical use | Process and responsibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Understand what a Rubric is for | Each criterion has observable evidence | Five Teams Rubric criteria with usable fields and levels | Individual design process and log |
| 2 | Roles, responsibility, and management conflict | Role judgments use case details | Role map supports delegation | Individual judgment and revision |
| 3 | Define the decision problem | Options, criteria, and evidence quality | Memo leads to a provisional choice | First judgments and revision trail |
| 4 | Self-study reflection on the market | Reading or case evidence is traceable | Concept, opportunity, constraint, gap, and action are clear | Individual reflection and log |
| 5 | Positioning, goals, and planning | Goals connect to earlier evidence | Goals can be checked and acted on | Full member list and contributions |
| 6 | Strategy and trade-offs | Value and cost of each business line | Keep, pause, outsource, or expand decisions | Group decision log |
| 7 | Core capabilities and resources | Capabilities have case evidence | Build, partner, or do not invest classification | Integration and individual contribution |
| 8 | Self-study reflection on people management | Earlier tools or assigned cases support the reflection | Learning, revision, and next step are clear | Individual reflection and log |
| 9 | Midterm integration and operations | Evidence, assumptions, and gaps are combined | Business model, organization, and next steps can be handed over | Progress and responsibility record |
| 10 | Teams, communication, and authority | Communication problems connect to the case | Meeting, document, decision, reporting, and exception system | Traceable decisions |
| 11 | Operations and quality | The likely failure points are identified | SOP, checks, backup, and acceptance conditions | Allocation and revision process |
| 12 | Customers, marketing, and value | Customer needs have support | Segments, value, measures, risks, and test are usable | Assumption testing and group record |
| 13 | Finance, growth, and risk | Scenario assumptions are visible | Three scenarios, cash pressure, and stop-loss points | Estimation and checking log |
| 14 | Motivation, leadership, and fairness | Different needs have a reason | Income, learning, exposure, participation, and growth options | Fairness review and responsibility |
| 15 | Ethics, risk, and change | Affected parties and trust risks are identified | Trigger, prevention, response, and public explanation are usable | Judgment responsibility and revision |
| 16 | Final exam; no weekly rubric | Follow the exam rules | No additional weekly assignment | Weekly assignment rules do not apply |
| 17 | Case analysis and management recommendation | Recommendations link to evidence and assumptions | Growth path, systems, dashboard, and next-quarter actions | Member contribution and AI disclosure |
| 18 | Company-building blueprint | Future information needs and limits are clear | Action order, systems, measures, and risks can be implemented | Feedback revision and handover quality |
4. Week 1 special rubric: five Teams Rubric criteria
The Week 1 student output is five criteria that could be used in Teams. Each criterion should answer four questions:
- Is the purpose clear?
- Is the evidence observable rather than a vague label such as "good," "complete," or "deep"?
- Do the levels or scores show what a student must add to improve?
- Are the Markdown/TXT file and log complete, with exporter evidence if AI was used and a note about the student's own revisions?
The five criteria together make the Week 1 100-point assignment. Students are designing criteria; they do not need to create or publish an official course assignment in Teams.
