TIMELINESS:
Two important skills to master (if you haven’t done so already) are arriving for class on time and
getting projects and assignments in on time. You will be a more highly valued student and most
likely to be rewarded if you are responsible and effective on these fronts. Anticipate obstacles (e.g.
my car broke, my computer crashed etc.) and PLAN AHEAD.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Attendance at all classes is mandatory and attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class.
Attendance and tardiness will be part of each individual’s grade and two points will be deducted
from an individual’s final grade for every absence in excess of two and consistent lateness will also
cause a reduction of points from a student’s final grade.
HOMEWORK POLICY:
All assignments must be submitted by the scheduled deadline in Connect. No late assignments will
be accepted.
TEACHING PROCEDURES:
The content in this class will be taught via PowerPoint lectures, personal assessment from the textbook,
group discussions and activities in class. There will be a quiz and homework for each chapter thru
Connect. There will be a midterm and a final exam as well as a group project presentation at the end of
the semester.
MODULE EXAMS:
There will be three (3) exams, emphasizing the terminology and concepts identified in the text and
class lectures. If you are unable to take a scheduled exam, due to an emergency, documentation is
required and you are required to contact me within twenty-four (24) hours in order to be eligible to
take a make-up exam.
GRADING:
A student’s grade is based on the results of objective testing, teamwork and participation, case
studies, written papers and oral presentations. The grade received is the grade that a student earns.
Students will not be given an opportunity to retake an exam to improve a test grade. No exceptions
will be made.
FINAL TEAM PAPER/PROJECT:

Teams of no more than 4 students will conduct research and make a presentation to the class
consistent with the topics of this course. I suggest you consult your textbook, Internet research, or
discussion with me in choosing a topic. To complete the presentation, students must work as a
team. A team is a group of individuals who come together to
complete a particular project or task. While your face to face team meeting may be limited due to
2
geographics, you must still communicate. To ensure the success of the team arrangement, the
team members must communicate frequently via e-mail, phones, voice mail, g-mail etc. Project
details provided under separate cover.
Your final grade will be based on the total points earned from the following:
Class Participation and attendance 20%
Module Exams (3 @ 10 pts. each) 30%
Homework 15%
Quizzes 15%
Project Team Presentation 20%
TOTAL 100%
Grading System

A- 90 – 93.99%

CHEATING & PLAGIARISM - Cheating consists of taking credit for work done by another person or
doing work for which another person will receive credit. Cheating on examinations or tests consists
of knowingly giving, receiving or using or attempting to give, receive or use unauthorized assistance.
Other forms of cheating include copying to give, receive or use, unauthorized assistance and
copying or purchasing others' work or arranging for others to do work under a false name. Forms of
plagiarism include the submission of work of another source or person without giving proper
acknowledgement or credit to that source or individual. If it is proven that a student in any course
in which he or she is enrolled has knowingly cheated or plagiarized, this may result in a failing grade
for an exam or assignment, withdrawal from the course or a failing grade in the course.
