Course Rules |
The
Shidler College of Business is a professional school. In addition to learning
conceptual material, SCB students must develop professional work habits.
Please turn off audible cellular telephones and pagers at the start of class.
Do not use a laptop computer or PDA in class unless given specific permission.
In business, professionals are expected to check their e-mail daily or more often. Students also must check their electronic mail at least daily. Homework assignments and time-sensitive announcements will be sent via e-mail throughout the semester.
Professionals are expected to do good work, especially professionals in information systems.
· As noted earlier, homework not done very well will receive no credit at all.
· Note the homework discussion in the academic honesty section of this syllabus
You must be in class during the entire review to get full credit for your homework.
In business, employees and especially managers are expected to show up each day and to attend all meetings. In the same way, attendance in class is mandatory. Missing seven classes may result in expulsion from class with a letter grade of F. Students with problems in this area must discuss them with the teacher at the beginning of the semester.
Students are expected to attend the first class, just as they are expected to show up for work on their first day on the job. Students are permitted to register for a class after a few days. This does not excuse them from attending the first few classes or from doing required homework.
In business, if you try to do everything, you end up achieving very little. If a student is working outside school, he or she must limit work time to be consistent with class work requirements.
University workload standards require two hours of work outside class for every hour in class. It is impossible to work at a job 40 hours a week and take 12 to 18 credit hours under standard outside-class time requirements. It is possible to do so where university requirements have been attenuated so that little outside-class time is required, but this is the College of Business Administration. Students who need to work must limit their credits.
In both business meetings and class meetings, it is rude to the person speaking to carry on side conversations. Side conversations during lectures or when another student is speaking are to be avoided.
