Class Participation and Assignment
Students will improve their learning process by asking questions to better understand the concepts. Brainstorming,
discussing with the instructor and classmates as a part of class participation are also ideal for effective learning. By
the help of these activities, students will have a much better grasp of theories, principles and topics. The instructor
can also lead students solving problems and providing ideas, insights and viewpoints for specific issues in order to
accelerate the active learning. Success in the IHRM course is heavily dependent on attending courses, following the
class carefully and preparing assignments on time with special care.
Academic Dishonesty:
Each student in the IHRMI course is expected to abide by Academic Integrity. Academic dishonesty is against the
laws and regulations of the university and thus will not be accepted. All students determined to be a part of
verifiable issues of academic dishonesty (copying, cheating, plagiarism, etc.) will considered to have demonstrated
unethical behaviors and receive a grade of “F” for the class.
