I will post class notes on our blackboard so you need to print them out and read the contents before the class meetings. This is a recommended book that is highly likely to be mentioned in our course. So, I highly encourage all of you to take a look at this book when you feel you want to know further about course contents that we are going to cover in our class meetings. 1. Dessler, G. (2013). A framework for human resource management. 7th ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. CLASS EXPECTATIONS The instructor encourages students to develop responsibility for their own intellectual quest. Various readings, rigorous thought, and application of course concepts to the realities of business are the foundations of this course. The instructor is committed to supporting and seeing all students through to a successful completion of the course. Interacting with the instructor and other students is an integral part of the course. You are expected to come to each class on time, prepared, having read the assigned readings, and ready to discuss your discoveries with your peers. Everyone is expected to participate. Professional behavior and a professional work attitude are expected of all students at all times while on campus, in class, or while representing ISU away from campus (including field trips, field study, and internships). This includes respect and consideration of fellow students, faculty, and TAs; maintaining classroom spaces; meeting or adhering to dress codes, where applicable; and active participation in group and individual critiques and classroom discussions.

2 TECHNOLOGY Silence your cell phone before entering the classroom. Cell phones, audio players, and recording devices are not permitted during class sessions.

3 ASSESSMENT DETAILS 1. Assignments 2 Points Each): Each of the 10 assignments will be completed individually and require application of the concepts discussed in the previous class sessions. All assignments will be posted on Blackboard. 2. Exam 20 Points Each): Each of the 3 exams will have two parts. The first part will be a combination of multiple choice and true/false questions. The second part will be a reflective essay. All contents contained in the exams will be from the class discussions and the assigned readings. Note: Exam 3 is given during the scheduled final exam time through our blackboard. It will be a take home (online) exam format. Please refer to the last page of the syllabus for details on the final exam date/time. TIME MANAGEMENT Time Management Skills: Assignments and exams (if applicable) must be submitted in Blackboard by the due date and time in the correct format (MS Word). Late assessments receive 0 points. Giving credit for late work is unfair to students who make the effort to be timely with class submissions and it does not properly prepare students for workplace demands. Deadlines established for this course are strictly adhered to. Deadlines are a fact of life and are particularly vital in business. There are no excuses, only consequences. Control your own destiny. Plan your schedule so outside activities do not interfere with completing the course assignments. Outside activities may include: computer, Blackboard, or internet failure; family issues (including reunions, birthdays, recitals, doctor appointments, hospital visits, caretaking, job loss); pre planned surgery, school clubs, jobs, internships, interviews, business travel, winning the lottery, traffic delays, CyRide delays, car issues, long commute times, court dates, forgetting the assignment due date and time, signing paperwork, alarm malfunction, incarceration, immigration issues, roommate challenges, special occasions, concerts, romance, and other activities not listed here. It is vital for students to learn how to reach deadlines. In the working world, the excuses that students use, as listed in the previous paragraph, prevent career promotions and increase the likelihood of job terminations. Businesses rely on dependable professionals with excellent time management skills. This course reinforces the importance of deadlines for each student s long term career success.
