Description of Course Requirements
1.
Public Policy Issue Research Report (PPIRR) - Group assignment. Topic
to be determined in consultation with professor and requires his approval
prior to proceeding. See list of possible PPIRR topics available on
professor’s website and list of bibliography references for hints about
viable report topic preferences. See PPIRR Guideline Sheet on professor’s
website. (150 points). Topics are due no later than 1/24; first drafts are due
on 2/21; and final versions are due on 3/14.
2.
Group Take-Home Assignment/In-Class Discussion-Activity – Group
written assignments (2 @ 50points = 100 points). Written group
assignments consisting of responses to questions related to the six broad
public policy areas for business, e.g., (1) Organizational Ethics and Public
Policy, (2) Types of Capitalism and Global Public Policy, (3) Nature and
Governance of Corporations and Public Policy, (4) Employee Health Care
and Retirement Benefits and Public Policy, (5) Technology, Security,
Privacy and Public Policy, and (6) Natural Environment Management and
Public Policy. In class discussion of topics will be encouraged prior to
deadlines. Criteria for grading include: adequacy, accuracy, clarity, order,
relevance and consistency. Format: (1) Cover page with team number and
member identification; (2) place questions in bold and responses in
unbolded font; and (3) normally at least four double-spaced pages per
assignment is expected. See schedule for deadlines.
3.
Examinations - Individual in-class and take-home. (2 @ 100 points each =
200 points). The midterm in-class examination will consist of objective
questions and essays. The final take-home examination will consist solely
3
of essays. There will be reviews before each exam and sample sets of
possible essay topics will be provided in advance for both examinations.
4.
Participation – (50 Points) Since an awareness and understanding of law,
regulation, ethics, politics, society and the natural environment in which
business functions in the United States and the world evolves through
listening, discussion, debate and other active-learning experiences during
the scheduled class meetings, it is essential that all students regularly
attend class and fully participate in these active learning experiences.
More than 2 absences will automatically lower the course participation
grade to 30 points. Team member peer evaluations will also be used to
determine the relative contributions of each student to the PPIRR and the
group written assignments. Regular class attendance and equitable group
contributions will result in a grade of 40; less than equitable group
contribution could result in a grade of 25 depending on the extent of
inequitable contribution.
An additional 10 points of extra-credit participation can be earned by
completing a two single-spaced page book review (from one of the books
contained in the syllabus bibliography) and presenting a 3-minute oral
version of your review in class during the last weeks of the term. The book
review is to consist of a cover page identifying the book, its author(s),
publication information, and the name of the student submitting the extra
credit work and two single-spaced pages in length divided into two parts:
two pages on “Summary of Key Points in Book” and one page on “Critical
Comments and Lessons Learned from Book.” Deadline is 2/28.
VI.
INSTRUCTIONAL MODE/RESOURCES
A.
Classroom Instructional/Dialogue Style
1.
Congruent with the text author's approach, the course will not be primarily
presented in a traditional lecture mode. Class meetings will consist of
dialogue between the professor and the students and among the student
teams, subsequent to familiarity with common conceptual foundations.
These discussions will build-on the assigned text readings, The Wall Street
Journal and other materials listed on the Class Schedule. The success of
this instructional mode is highly dependent on students' completing all
reading assignments before class on the dates listed in the Class
Schedule – after the first day of classes.

B.
Textbook authors’ statement:
The authors state, “our primary purpose is to provoke student thought. To
that end, heavy emphasis places on analysis, . . . retention of rules of law
per se is not of primary importance. (The) questions asked are considered
more important than the answers. (The) student is acquainted with
existing policy, not merely for purposes of understanding and retention,
but also to provoke inquiry as to the desirability of the policies. Then, an
attempt is made to explore the desired managerial role in shaping
government policy and regulation of business.”
Active Learning Approach
The effectiveness of an active-learning instruction mode is totally dependant on
each student’s advance preparation of assigned text material, library reserve
readings, supplemental hand-outs and current issues reading before class.
Current issues reading in the WSJ is particularly critical in this course since it
provides insight concerning the current legal, regulatory, ethical, political,
ecological and social issues business are confronting in today's environment.
Students are strongly encouraged to make notes concerning questions, insights,
and/or disagreements that they identify when preparing for class and bring these
notes to class.
C.

State University (206 Rike Hall) is an additional resource for business ethics

B.
Academic Honesty Policy:
"Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism (submission of
an assignment as the student's original work that is wholly or in part the work of
another person) or dishonest conduct during an examination (including possession
of tests or notes not authorized by the instructor or of a device prepared
specifically for the purposes of cheating; communication with another person,
other than the instructor, by any means; looking at another person's paper,
violation of procedures prescribed to protect the integrity of an examination;
cooperation with another person in academic misconduct)" (WSU brochure,
Academic Misconduct). Students will be disciplined in accordance with the WSU

Exam Make-up Policy:
Make-up exams will be kept to an absolute minimum. It is most equitable to take
the original test with the rest of your classmates on the scheduled date and time.
Rare exceptions to this policy will be made only with student notification (7752428) prior to class. Any make-ups will normally be administered in the
Department of Management Office (270 Rike Hall) within 2 days of the original
exam. Once the professor has authorized a make-up, the student is to schedule the
make-up time during the professor’s office hours with the Department of
Management office staff (775-2290) as soon as possible.
