Course Policies:

1. Attendance/Participation: Each student is expected to attend class and be prepared for class by reading the required chapters before each class.

2. Exams: There will be four exams, which will be multiple choice and/or True False. The exams will cover the reading and lecture materials. Each exam will be worth 100 points. There will be 50 questions worth two (2) points each. Please bring a SCANTRON form – RED with two (2) columns on the front. (50 questions each side) and a pencil for your exam. Please come prepared with both items.

3. Group Activities: There may be group activities during class time. Participation in group activities is another way to earn additional points. Each group activity awarded points is worth 20 points. If you miss a group activity that is awarded points, you will not be able to make it up.

Critical Thinking and Case Problems: These are due when indicated on the syllabus. Each assignment is worth 15 points and needs to turned in when due for credit. These will be discussed at the beginning of class. Spending a few minutes on these will help you remember and understand the key concepts in the chapter.

4. Grading: Grading will be based on a total of 700 points. Excessive absences will affect your final grade. Attendance 100 Points Exam #1 100 Points Exam #2 100 Points Exam #3 100 Points Exam #4 100 Points Case Problems 120 Points (approximately) Group Activities 160 Points (8 approximately) Total 880 points

There will be NO make-up exams unless you have an extreme emergency. If you cannot make the scheduled date for the exam you must contact me in advance to arrange a special make- up exam. If you forget there is an exam that is not an excuse. The make up exam will be different from the exam taken by the rest of the class.

DROP The Class

It is the student’s responsibility to DROP the class, not the instructor’s. Please remember, if you are on the roster at the end of the term, I have to give you a grade. Please remember to DROP if you are not taking the class.

Codes of Conduct and Academic Honesty:

My expectation is that students in this class will exhibit professional and business-like conduct. Please respect your fellow students and their educational efforts. Discussions with other students should be held outside of class. If special circumstances require you to leave class early, I expect you to clear it with me prior to the beginning of class. Electronic communication devices (including cell phones) are not to be used in the class room – no text messaging, computer games, email, etc. while in class. You should be in your seat and ready to go at the class starting time. In the business world, chronic tardiness gets you fired. Same here.

Please do your own work. Cheating on any exam will result in a grade of “F” for the exam.

Student Responsibilities

Since this is a basic class in business, you are expected to manage yourself and your class work in a professional manner. In addition to staying on schedule, you are expected to conduct yourself according to all of the normal college rules in your classroom. It is expected you will complete your reading prior to coming to class. You will gain much more from the lecture and activities if you do.

Teacher Responsibilities

Your instructor is committed to making this a successful and exciting learning experience. She will make herself available in whatever way necessary to support your learning and progress. The fastest way to reach your instructor with questions is by email. Please email with any questions you have regarding the class. We will have case studies, group activities, discussion and scheduled exams. Each of these provide opportunities for learning and accumulating points towards your grade. Questions about your progress or grades can be directed to your instructor at any time during the semester.

Welcome Aboard!!
