Because its not easy to teach and grade OM case studies in an online format, we have added a new feature for the spring term. There are now 27 case studies loaded in MyOMLab–each with 4 multiple choice questions–that you can assign and have graded automatically. Just go to “Create Assignment,” then under Question Source, click “Show Case Study Questions.”
