F. RULES FOR ATTENDANCE
All students are expected to attend classes punctually and regularly. Access to the final exam will be
granted to students who attain an attendance in excess of 70 %.
The content of the syllabus can be changed by the instructor at any time by informing the related
department’s head.
Class participation includes attendance, discussion and participation. Role is taken at the
beginning of class using a seating chart. Students arriving late may request partial credit by seeing
me after class. Excessive lateness or absences will result in a geometrically reduced grade. Please
make your travel plans accordingly. As one shrewd person once put it, “Never underestimate the
value of showing up.” Your presence enriches not only yourself, but also your classmates. Class
time is generally devoted to Socratic discussion and debate. You will be called upon frequently: in
fact, you can expect be called on in every class session. If you are a bit shy, this can be intimidating.
I hope that over time you will grow in confidence to speak up and be heard. Sometimes the quietest
students have the most interesting and important things to say.
STUDY HINTS: There are no surprises about how to excel in international human resource
management. Come to class prepared each day. You should actively practice retrieving stored
information and applying it. The more you practice, the easier it gets. A Study Guide is an
excellent learning tool; use it to the fullest. Obviously, you cannot master everything at once, but it
will become quite apparent if you are preparing for class or not. If you are unavoidably absent,
please arrange to get the notes and assignments from a classmate in time for the next session.
