3) Attendance:
Regular attendance of this course is expected. Failure to do so
could have an adverse effect on the student's course grade. Any class
material and assignments missed are the student's responsibility. Success will depend upon showing up.
It is a requirement that the student exchange names and contact information with at least one classmate. Excessive absences, as defined in the college
catalog, could result in the student receiving the grade 'F' for the
course. Testing and Grading: Attendance at scheduled tests and presentations is mandatory. No make-ups will be
given -- there are no exceptions from Your Business Professor. Case Study Papers will not be accepted late and must be presented in person. Normally this instructor will assign only the grades of A, B, C, D,
or F. Special grades such as W, I, and R will be assigned only in those
circumstances prescribed in the college catalog. The grade of X (audit)
must be initiated by the student and will be assigned only when the
student has attended class regularly. Failure to do so will result in the instructor issuing the grade of 'F'. The Successful Student will devote two hours of class preparation for each hour of class room instruction. The student will be asked to grade the effectiveness of each test. Withdrawals: Any student may withdraw from this course without academic penalty
within the first 60% of the session. Initiation of the withdrawal is
the student's responsibility and the grade of 'W' will be awarded. The
last day for withdrawal, without academic penalty, for this
semester/session is _______________. Beyond this date dropping a course
or failure to attend will result in the grade of 'F' except under
mitigating circumstances. Documentation of these circumstances is
required AND a grade of 'W' implies that the student was making
satisfactory progress (passing) in the course at the time of the
withdrawal.
If a student misses the first two weeks of class s/he will be dropped from the class.
Special Needs and Accommodations: Please address with the instructor any special problems or needs at
the beginning of the semester/session. If the student is seeking
accommodations based on disability, then s/he should provide a disability
data sheet, which can be obtained from the Counselor for Special Needs. Cheating: The following will be considered cheating in this course:
1. The giving or receiving of aid on any graded assignments or test without specific permission of this instructor.
2. The use of any material on a graded assignment or test other than those authorized by this instructor.
3. Talking or discussion of any kind during a graded test without specific permission of this instructor.
4) Notes and suggestions and hints:
Last Day for Schedule Adjustments with Tuition Refund is ____________.
Last Day to Withdraw Without Grade Penalty or Change to Audit is _________.
Attendance will be taken at each class.
Check the course catalog first for questions.
Be sure to log onto Blackboard to follow assignments and current grade.
Expect to be asked to contribute to each class session.
Do not text-message during class.
When Your Business Professor says "Tomorrow" he means the next class meeting -- not the next day.
It is normal and customary to wait for any late Professor for 20 minutes.
Draft Your Own Reference Letter.
Additional information and public speaking helps.
Refer your friends to take this business class.
Canceled Classes: If class is canceled for any reason, the student is still
responsible for the material due. Any quiz on that material might be given at
the next class, in addition to the regularly scheduled quiz.
Campus classes are
closed by division, day or evening. Sometimes day classes will meet and evening
classes will be canceled or vice versa. The evening division starts with 4:30
p.m. classes.
