Communication and Availability.I will be available before and after each class period for students to ask specific questions. I will have office hours from 3:30pm to 4:30pm on Monday and Wednesday in my office #4205 in the Business School Building 4th floor. No appointment is required or made. I will meet with students on a first come first served basis. During office hours, I will not respond to requests such as grading assignments, working your homework for you or with you, giving lectures, or giving out answers to assignments. Office hours are not the only source of help for understanding the material. I expect a student to utilize the multiple sources available in this course in addition to office hours. Respect the time a student has during office hours and do not interrupt. Discussions are provided on Canvas for students to discuss course material. Use the Canvas discussions for asking questions about the course material, answering questions about the course material, organizing study groups, making announcements about study groups, and other communications helpful for learning. Email to me should be to the email address [ Michael.D.Harper@ucdenver.edu ] and must contain “BANA 6650” in the subject area. If this address is not used, I may not receive the email or read the email. I encourage communication with me that does not include material already stated in the syllabus, announcements made in Canvas, or questions about the material that could be asked through the discussion provided in Canvas. Since accessing the original source is more effective in communications, I may direct you to appropriate sources if appropriate. I will attempt to read and respond to emails every evening usually after 9pm. Collaboration. Collaboration on work is encouraged to understand the material but not required. Each student is responsible to submit their own work when due. Submit only original work. Collaboration does not include copying from another student or allowing a student to copy from you. Lack of collaboration or failure to attend class does not alter a student’s responsibility to submit work when due. No collaboration is allowed on the exam.Homework Assignments. Homework assignments are required in this course. Homework assignments will be based on introductory material and application of material covered online and in class. I will post homework assignments online which can consist of multiple choice questions, computer assignments, or general requests. Homework answers are submitted through Canvas. No submission will result in a zero. No late submissions will be accepted. Answers will be posted online after the due date and will be discussed in class.Submission of Work and Late Policy. Work submitted through Canvas in this course will consist of homework assignments and an individual project report. No late assignments are accepted. No late homework assignments are accepted. No late individual reports are accepted. Submit only original work. Submit work through Canvas in the format requested. Student is responsible to submit work through Canvas correctly, completely, and on time. Submit work only once. Work submitted will be accepted as an entire assignment and graded as an entire assignment. Work must be submitted on or before the due date and time indicated. Work not submitted will have a grade of zero. No work will be accepted or considered after the end of the course. Answers to the quiz assignments and homework assignments will be posted online after the due date and will be discussed in class. No partial credit. Any grading errors should be resolved as soon as possible. No corrections to graded material will be considered after the end of the course. When submitting assignments through Canvas, carefully follow this procedure. Download the assignment from Canvas which will be in a Word file. Obtain all the answers for the entire assignment. Only when all the answers are ready to submit, submit all the answers at one time through Canvas. Each student is responsible to submit answers through Canvas correctly, completely, and on time. Assignments submitted will be accepted as an entire assignment and graded as an entire assignment. Answers may be submitted only once. Once you begin submission, you have exactly 60 minutes to submit all the answers to an assignment only if all the answers are submitted on or before the due date and time for the assignment. The due date and time are strictly enforced by Canvas. Canvas will not allow submission after the due date and time even during the 60-minute time window. The entire assignment must be submitted on or before the due date and time indicated. Exam. Exam will be in-class, open-book, multiple-choice, and timed. No collaboration is allowed. Exam not taken has a grade of zero. If the exam is not taken, a make-up exam may be taken before the end of the course to replace the zero with the grade earned. An exam may be taken only once and must be taken before the end of the course. No work is accepted after the end of the course.. . .Team Projects. Small teams will be formed by students to select and conduct independent research on a project topic from a list that I will provide on the website. The deliverables will include a team presentation and an individual report. The grade for each student will be 10% on the presentation and 90% on the individual report. The originally composed individual report shall be based on research conducted by each individual on the team on a topic selected from a list provided on the website. Each individual report shall demonstrate the student’s knowledge of project management and an ability to effectively apply the knowledge within the project management environment. Each individual report must be unique. The individual report length should be at least two pages but the report should follow the guideline of “succinct but adequate”. Length will be considered a negative if content is not significant or complete.Submit the completed individual report through Canvas on or before the due date and time in the format requested. Each report may be submitted only once, may only be submitted as a complete report, and must be submitted by the due date and time. A report not submitted has a grade of zero. No report is accepted after the end of the course. Collaboration is encouraged on the team projects. But each student is required to submit original material for their individual report. Collaboration does not include copying from another student or allowing a student to copy from you on individual work that is submitted.For consistency, use the following format for the individual report where the student supplies the information in italics:{Project title}Individual Project Report Submitted as partial fulfillment of requirements forProject Management Course at University of Colorado DenverBy{name}On {date}{Content}The project team presentations will be limited to approximately ten minutes. Each person in the group is required to present. The presentation time of each individual student is limited to two minutes. Points will be deducted for an individual presenter whose presentation exceeds two minutes not including questions and answers. Consider each presentation as a formal production beginning with PowerPoint slides and moving smoothly between each presenter. The presentation could incorporate other media, possibly including but not limited to, pictures, Word, Excel, or video. Each group may be as creative as they wish.. . .General Policies.Academic Dishonesty. In the event academic dishonest occurs on work submitted for a grade, the work will receive a grade of zero. Any incident of academic dishonesty may be reported to Internal Affairs Committee of the Business School at the University of Colorado at Denver for further action. Conduct. I expect strict adherence to the code of conduct as stated in the Catalog of the University of Colorado at Denver. [ ]I will take action and initiate due process against violations of the code of conduct. Violations include verbal and physical disruption or intimidation. Actions to initiate due process can include a formal report to the Behavioral Assessment and Threat Assessment Team (BETA) [],the Campus Assessment, Response, & Evaluation Team (CARE) [ WWW.ucdenver.edu/life/services/CARE ],or the Internal Affairs Committee of the Business School at the University of Colorado at Denver. Conduct also includes etiquette before, during, and after each class that is respectful to all people, the facilities, and the institution. Respectful behavior before, during, and after classes is expected which includes talking during lectures, arriving late, leaving early, use of cell phones, conducting work during lectures, asking inappropriate questions during lectures, or disrupting other students during lectures. It is expected that everyone supports and promotes an open and supportive learning environment.Hour Commitment Expectation. Faculty policies state that courses in the business school should require a student workload in and out of class that enhances quality education and is consistent with the amount of academic credit granted for a course. This course requires work due on a regular basis. Each student is expected to work in and out of class. Statement. Policies in this syllabus apply to every student. Although I may consider special circumstances during the course, standards will never be compromised and all work must be done before the end of the course. Any action taken by me that may be considered to vary from these policies shall not be cause to eliminate or alter any student’s responsibility to adhere to all the requirements of the course or to prevent my action in enforcing the policies in the course to every student.* * * END OF SYLLABUS * * * ................
