FALL 2016

There are no make-ups. If you miss an exam you must do a

15 page paper instead of the exam. ** Late work is not accepted. Don't even

ask. Period. ** Computer issues (Server/Browser, etc...) are not a valid excuse to miss an assignment.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

I expect all students to conduct themselves with the highest level of integrity. You have the opportunity throughout your business career to demonstrate your own level of integrity. Similarly, in this class you will have an opportunity to demonstrate academic integrity. The two are inextricably linked. I encourage you to think about the standard you set for business integrity in your career, and to implement that standard with respect to your academic integrity in this class.

Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. For a definition of academic dishonesty and its consequences, see your student handbook.

For the purposes of this course, academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to,

? Copying another student's solution or allowing another student to copy your solution ? Removing or copying pages or problems from exams or quizzes, including those posted on the World Wide Web ? Any other activity that jeopardizes the integrity of this course.

Evaluation:

Grades are not given; they are EARNED. You must work for it. Your grade will be based on results rather than on effort--your performance is an indicator of your ability to master the topic. Decide to work NOW for the grade you want. Students who keep up with the materials, do all of the assignments, and participate in the learning experiences typically do well.

Your grade will be based on the total number of points that you earn for each assignment group. The weight associated with each of the graded areas, and the total points required to earn the various grades, are shown below.
