Reading Quizzes on BLACKBOARD (100 points)

The first quiz you will take is the Syllabus quiz on Blackboard; this quiz must be completed before Monday September 5, 2016. There will be reading quizzes assigned before every chapter is taught. You are expected to read the chapter and then log on to Blackboard and take the quiz. All quizzes are timed at 150 seconds. All quizzes will work off a 24-hour format; the quiz will open exactly 24 hours before the class and close at class time. For example, when we begin a chapter on Monday at 12 PM, the quiz for that chapter will open Sunday at 12 PM and close Monday at 12 PM. If you miss any of the quizzes, you will get a “zero” on that particular quiz. However, missing online quizzes due to excused absences and emergency situations will be considered and the missed quizzes must be taken (by hand) the very next day or on a day I assign in my office. You must inform me of your absence before class (or earlier) or you will not be able to make up the missed quizzes. The quizzes will be weighted equally at 10 points.

Tests (150 points)

You will have three. The tests have to be taken on the assigned days, except in case of an excused absence or an emergency. Students who cannot take the tests because of an excused absence or emergency must take them the next day or on a day I assign; but you must inform me of the absence before class (or a day in advance) or you will receive a zero. All three tests will be equally weighted at 100 points. For the sake of academic honesty, I will require all cell phones to be placed on a separate table before the start of tests, the midterm examination, and the final examination. Also, should you arrive late for the tests and at least one student has completed the exams, you will not be allowed to take the exams. Finally, you will have ONE week from the time you receive your tests results to consult me regarding any changes to your grade; if you come to me for any changes AFTER one week, you will not receive point(s).

Blackboard Discussion (150 points)

During the semester, you will be responsible for posting your thoughts on various discussion topics that I will put up. You will need to read the article or news item and then give your informed opinion regarding the topic. You will also read and respond to at least three of your classmates’ opinions. Over the course of the semester, there will be five assignments posted for which you will post your opinions. The assignments will be equally weighted at 30 points each. The Blackboard discussion will have a time limit and here are the proposed starting and finishing times for the discussion: a. Monday September 12, 2016 – Sunday September 17, 2016 b. Monday October 3, 2016 – Sunday October 7, 2016 c. Monday October 10, 2016 – Sunday October 15, 2016 d. Monday November 7, 2016 – Sunday November 12, 2016 e. Monday November 28, 2016 – Sunday December 3, 2016

Article Presentations (300 points)

The major project for this class will be article presentations. During the semester you will learn how to analyze researched articles and then you will do the same with peer reviewed articles

5 Consumer Behavior Study Guide from academic journals such as Journal of Consumer Behavior and Journal of Consumer Management. After you receive your article, you will write a two-page summary of the article and then make your oral presentations during the last two weeks of class. More information will be given at a later date.

Final Examination (300 points)

The final exam will be comprehensive; it will include all the chapters covered in the course. For the sake of academic honesty, I will require all cell phones to be placed on a separate table before the start of the final exam. Also, should you arrive late for the finals and at least one student has completed the finals, you will not be allowed to take the finals. It is the university’s policy that no early exams be given; there will be no exceptions in this regard. Therefore, please arrange your travel schedule around the final exams. Also, the professor is under no obligation to grant late exams simply because a student has three finals in one day unless in case of an emergency or there is a disability involved.

CLASS POLICIES

Communication Policy

To make sure that there is a smooth flow of communication pertaining to this class, all students must use their Trevecca email ID. You can access your Trevecca email through this URL: http://live.trevecca.edu. In the event of a class cancellation, an email will be sent to all students on their Trevecca email.

BLACKBOARD

Please make sure you log on to Blackboard and familiarize yourself with the site. You will be responsible for taking all your online quizzes; I will not be reminding you of this in class.

Nashville American Marketing Association (NAMA) Monthly Luncheon

During the semester we will attend the NAMA monthly luncheon held at the Hilton Garden Inn. All students are expected to attend this luncheon. There will be a student fee of $15.00, which will get you lunch, listen to a talk on marketing by an industry professional, and a time of networking with Nashville’s top marketing and sales people.

Online Chapter PowerPoint Teaching Videos

There are a few chapters in this course that are pre-recorded and put online on my website. Students are to watch the PowerPoint teaching videos, take notes, and come prepared to class for practice exercises. This way, we will have more time in class for solving problems. Chapters are marked with an asterisk in the class schedule, which are on pages 7-11.

ACADEMIC POLICIES Attendance Policy 3

Attendance is imperative to the understanding of the subject. The university handbook states, “If class meets 2 times per week, the student may be disenrolled on the 7th absence.” That means, if you miss more than 7 classes, you will fail the course. These 7 classes include both excused and unexcused absences. Also, attendance counts from the first day of class whether students are registered or not. Registering late is an excused absence. Please read page 59-60 of the university catalog on attendance policies. Please note that attendance will be taken at the beginning of the class; if you are not in class at that time or if you walk in late you will be marked absent.

Policy on Academic Honesty 4

Academic Services (Disability) 5

Trevecca is committed to the provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act as the University strives to be an inclusive community for students.

Individuals seeking accommodations for any type of disability are encouraged to contact Michelle Gaertner, the coordinator of student disability services in the Center for Leadership, Calling, and Service at 248-1463 for information concerning the documentation of a disability and the procedure for implementing accommodations.

Teaching Philosophy

Teaching is my passion! I will do my best to help you comprehend the discipline of consumer behavior and its uses as applicable to your life, both in the business world and in your personal life. In my drive to help you learn, I will refer to many sources to bring information that will help you understand, learn, and apply concepts in consumer behavior. It is also my ardent desire to integrate my Christian faith within the discipline of consumer behavior so that you may learn, as I will too, how to serve Christ using the concepts learned in this class. Above all, I believe every class period we spend together is spent in the presence of God. This is an awesome responsibility for me to teach all of you and train you, and hopefully, guide you to understand God. Your

7 Consumer Behavior Study Guide responsibility will be to give your best, remembering the God who wanted you to be here in the first place. Coming to class regularly, participating in the discussion, completing assignments on time, and having a Christ-like attitude should be important to all of you.
