TEACHING METHODS
I endeavor to create a climate of trust, support and mutual respect in our classroom. We have
much to learn from each other. Students are responsible for reading the chapters in the textbook as they are
assigned each session. Class time will consist of, but not be limited to, informal lectures, discussions, and
group activities which gives each of us a role in the learning process. Therefore, attendance and engaged
participation is essential.
CLASSROOM EDIQUETTE AND BEHAVIOR
A critical element of the learning process is a climate of trust and mutual respect in the classroom.
Each student has a responsibility to display initiative and respect for other learners. The objectives of this
course can only be achieved through joint effort. Participation is essential. Inappropriate behavior will not

be tolerated in the classroom. If, in the opinion of the instructor, a student disrupts the learning environment
with inappropriate comments or behavior, the instructor may ask the student to leave the classroom. At the
instructor’s discretion, a student exhibiting disruptive behavior may receive a zero for the assignment and
an “F” in the course.
EVALUATION TECHNIQUES
A total of 1000 points may be achieved. Your final grade is based solely on the accumulated points
from the assessments described below. Specific instructions for each grading element will be provided by
the instructor in class.

Optional Bonus Project – You may elect to complete an additional Bonus project. Doing so will add up to
50 more points to your total score. Only one Bonus project may be submitted. Deadline and format are
determined by Instructor. No late work will be accepted for this assignment.
Guest Speakers (up to 25 points each)
Throughout the semester, I hope to secure guest speakers who will help facilitate learning and
practical applications of our material. Due to scheduling difficulties, specific times and topics for these
speakers will be announced in advance of their visits.
You must do the following to receive extra credit for guest speakers:
1) submit three (3) probing questions for the speaker in the class session prior to the speaker’s presentation
2) attend the session in which the guest speaker presents, and sign in on the roll sheet to be eligible for the
bonus points; and,
3) type a paper to be submitted at the next class session, using the following outline:
Date, Name of Speaker, Your Name
A. A summary of the speaker’s presentation
B. What three (3) main points did the speaker make? Explain each of the three points.
C. Discuss how each of these three points relates to business operations?
D. Explain how you plan to use this information.
E. What additional applications can you find for this information?
This paper will be due and only accepted only at the beginning of the next scheduled class session. Your
grade will depend on the depth of your content. Decision of the instructor is final.
Currently, I anticipate two guest speakers throughout the semester. This, however, depends on the
availability of the speakers, so do not assume opportunities will always exist to earn these extra points.

LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKE-UP POLICY
No provision will be made for any reason for late assignments. All assignments are open from the
first day of class until their due date/time. You may turn in assignments early, but not late. The link to submit
assignments automatically expires on the date/time listed.
PLAGIARISM POLICY
Deliberate plagiarism is claiming, indicating, or implying that the ideas, sentences, or words of
another writer are you own; it includes having another writer do work claimed to be your own, copying the
work of another and presenting it as your own, or following the work of another as a guide to ideas and
expression that are then presented as your own.
At the instructor’s discretion, a student guilty of deliberate plagiarism may receive a zero for
the assignment and an “F” in the course.
Accidental plagiarism is the handling of quotations and paraphrases without a deliberate attempt to
deceive; it includes failing to mark the beginning of paraphrases, failing to get away from the language of
the original text when paraphrasing, failing to mark quotations with properly placed quotation marks, and
failing to properly identify the source of a quotation or paraphrase. At the instructor’s discretion, a student
whose paper contains accidental plagiarism may have the opportunity to rewrite the paper with a reduction
in grade.
WITHDRAW POLICY
To withdraw from the class, the student should initiate an official withdrawal; non-attendance DOES NOT constitute official
withdrawal. The student who neither attends nor drops the class will receive the grade earned based on the work completed. Failure to
withdraw may result in the student receiving a regular grade of “F” at the end of the semester. The last date for withdrawal for this
semester is: _____.
DISABLED STUDENT SERVICES
TCC offers a number of services for disabled students. Any student needing special services should meet with me
immediately.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
Listen to television and radio stations for announcements of school closings and sign up for TCC Alerts. If TCC is not
included in the list of closings, TCC classes will be held.
