An 8xxx section is co-taught, in order to facilitate graduate studentparticipation. The expectation is that the graduate students will complete much moresophisticated projects and business plans in the course, and provide

Changes made tothe approach include a more detailed rater calibration session and a significant increase in thenumber of raters over a previous cases study which used the same rubric. Similar to the previousstudy, results show that raters exhibit moderate to substantial agreement when interraterreliability is measured by Kendall’s coefficient of concordance. As a component of
