ASSIGNMENTS
AND DUE DATES:
1.
Exams. Two exams will be given. The exams will consist of questions drawn from
the readings, lectures, and class assignments. You are responsible for the material
even if it is not emphasized during the lectures. Pre-exam reviews will be held the
week prior to the exam. This review will focus on material which may be included in
the test. Exams will focus on the text chapters contained in the class schedule. Due
to the nature of the course and subject matter, exams may contain some
comprehensive elements. There will be no make-up exams except in extraordinary
situations, which require approval before the scheduled exam. All tests will need to
be returned to me at the conclusion of the exam. Following the exam, I will
schedule a class test review and will return graded student tests. Upon completion
of this review, all student tests will need to be returned to me, any test not
returned will be subject to a grade of “0”. Each exam will account for 100 points
towards the final grade.
2.
Case Quizzes: The class will involve several cases. The students are expected to
have read the case before the class period it is due. A short quiz will be assigned at
the start of each case class to gauge the level of preparation
3.
Class Participation. Participation will be based on attendance, preparation for class,
appropriate in-class participation during lecture, and quality of in-class
participation. Additionally, students are evaluated on their performance by
members of their team with respect to individual team effort. Team members will
need to document individual coaching comments during class projects. Any team
feeling a member has not been contributing will need to submit comments to the
instructor. I will consider any team input as a potential part of a student’s overall
participation when calculating points.
You are expected to approach each assignment with the professionalism
required of you in the “real” world. This is particularly relevant for your interactions
with companies and as part of fulfilling the requirements of this course. All assignments
are to be submitted on the due dates by the day of class and no later than 11:59pm
following the end class unless specified otherwise. Assignments need to be submitted
via the Carmen drop box and can be uploaded any time prior to the due date. A 50%
penalty will be assessed for assignment submissions 24 hours past the due date (one
day late). A 100% penalty will be assessed for submissions more than 24 hours after the
assignment is due. Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation are expected and will be
considered in the grading of all assignments.

CLASS ATTENDANCE
Class attendance will not be recorded other than for guest speakers. However,
attendance is highly encouraged and will correlate with high grades. During lectures, I
may call randomly on students by name to answer questions, respond to in-class
exercises, or to comment on key concepts. Missing these opportunities may result in a
reduction in participation points. I may also give no-notice quizzes and classroom
exercises in the event of excess absenteeism. Additionally in-class quizzes, exercises,
and lecture participation cannot be made up without a valid medical excuse or bona fide
family emergency. If you miss a quiz, lecture participation, or exercise due to tardiness,
you will not be able to make up the covered material.
ACADEMIC
INTEGRITY:
All tests, written exercises, and papers are to be your own work.
Academic integrity is essential to maintaining an environment that fosters
excellence in teaching, research, and other educational and scholarly activities.
Thus, the Ohio State University and the Committee on Academic Misconduct
(COAM) expect that all students have read and understand the University’s Code
of Student Conduct, and that all students will complete all academic and
scholarly assignments with fairness and honesty. Students must recognize that
failure to follow the rules and guidelines established in the University’s Code of
Student Conduct and this syllabus may constitute “Academic Misconduct.”
The Ohio State University’s Code of Student Conduct (Section 3335-23-04)
defines academic misconduct as: “Any activity that tends to compromise the
academic integrity of the University, or subvert the educational process.”
Examples of academic misconduct include (but are not limited to) plagiarism,
collusion (unauthorized collaboration), copying the work of another student, and
possession of unauthorized materials during an examination. Ignorance of the
University’s Code of Student Conduct is never considered an “excuse” for
academic misconduct, so I recommend that you review the Code of
Student Conduct and, specifically, the sections dealing with academic
misconduct.
If I suspect that a student has committed academic misconduct in this course, I
am obligated by University Rules to report my suspicions to the Committee on
Academic Misconduct. If COAM determines that you have violated the
University’s Code of Student Conduct (i.e., committed academic misconduct), the
sanctions for the misconduct could include a failing grade in this course and
suspension or dismissal from the University.
If you have any questions about the above policy or what constitutes academic
misconduct in this course, please contact me.

If you have a disability, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), which requires classroom accommodation or auxiliary aids, please
inform me of your needs during the first week of class so that I can take
appropriate action.
The schedule, policies, and assignments contained in this course syllabus
or on the course website are subject to change in the event of extenuating
circumstances, class progress, or by mutual agreement between the instructor and the
students.
All cellular phones, pagers and other electronic communication devices are to be
turned off during class. Any electronic recording of the lecture or presentations is not
authorized. The only exceptions will be those authorized in writing by the Office of
Disability Services.
