1.Exams. Two exams will be given. The exams will consist of questions drawn from the readings, lectures,
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. Each exam will account for 40 points towards
the final grade.
2. Group Presentation/Paper: TBD
3. Class Participation. Participation will be based on attendance, preparation for class, appropriate in-class
participation during lecture, and quality of in-class participation. Guest speaker attendance is especially
important. I will consider any team input as a potential part of a student’s overall participation when
calculating points.
ASSIGNMENTS

You are expected to approach each assignment with the professionalism
required of you in the “real” world. A 50% penalty will be assessed for submissions within 24 hours after
the assignment is due (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.

Fisher College of Business strongly enforces University attendance policies. As per University rule 3335-833, any student may be disenrolled from a course for failure to attend by the first Friday of the term, or by
the 3rd instructional day of the term, or by the second class meeting, whichever occurs first.
In-class exercises cannot be made up if missed without a valid medical excuse or bona fide family
emergency.

All tests, written exercises, and papers are to be your own work.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: 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. Other sources of information on academic misconduct (integrity) to which you can
refer include:
• The Committee on Academic Misconduct web pages (oaa.osu.edu/coam/home.html)
• Ten Suggestions for Preserving Academic Integrity (oaa.osu.edu/coam/ten-suggestions.html)
• Eight Cardinal Rules of Academic Integrity (www.northwestern.edu/uacc/8cards.html)
AMERICANS
WITH
DISABILITIES
ACT:
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.
COURSE
DISCLAIMER:
The schedule, policies, and assignments contained in this course syllabus
or on my website are subject to change in the event of extenuating circumstances, class progress, or by
mutual agreement between the instructor and the students.
OTHER:
All cellular phones, pagers and other electronic communication devices are to be turned off during class.
Laptops for note taking are permitted, however, if I get the impression people are using the laptops for
non-class related activities, we will go to a strict hand-written note policy.
*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.
