Grading Policies This course employs the following to measure student learning. Coursework Points Breakdown Points Eight Quizzes 50 Points Each 400 Ten Assignments 10 Points Each 100 Ethics Assessment 100 Points 100 Four Case Analyses 50 Points Each 200 Four Peer Reviews 50 Points Each 200 Total Points (divide by 10 for course grade) 1000 Angelo State University employs a letter grade system. Grades in this course are determined on a percentage scale: A = % B = % C = % D = % F = 59 % and below. Response Time 1. Questions, requests for information, or requests for an appointment will be responded to no later than noon (12:00 pm) of the following business day (Mon-Fri, excluding holidays). 2. Graded work will be returned as expeditiously as possible and not later than one week after submission without an instructor emergency and student notification of delay.

3 Missed/Late Work There will be no late work accepted. Coursework not submitted on time will receive a grade of zero. In rare circumstances, for example family emergencies, exceptions will be made. Please notify me as early as possible if you expect a conflict, and I will do everything I can to work with you. Participation/Absenteeism Attendance is not taken in this course. Students are expected to act professionally and to attend class regularly, be on time to class, and to notify the instructor as early as possible when they will be unable to attend class. In-class coursework serves as a proxy for attendance and historically, students who frequently miss class receive significantly lower grades than students who do not miss class. Final Exam A comprehensive final examination will be given at the end of the semester. The exam will cover all textbook chapters and all supplementary materials from the course. The final examination is optional and can be taken to replace any 50-point assignment in the course, including a missed quiz or case analysis or up to 5 assignments. The final examination will be administered in accordance with the schedule below. Course Policies General 1. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in classroom discussion and to ask questions, as well as provide their own perspectives and experiences. I fully believe that if you are bored in class, it is because you are allowing class to be boring. 2. Electronic devices not designed for learning activities are to be turned off at all times while in class. Laptops, translation devices, electronic dictionaries, and notetaking equipment are allowed as long as they make no noise and do not distract other students. 3. Be on time. If you must enter the class after instruction has begun, please sit in the first available seat near the door and prepare for instruction as quietly as possible. 4. Private conversations, phone conversations, note passing, and other classroom distractions are prohibited during class. If you have an emergency, please exit the class and discuss it in the hallway. 5. If you have a personal issue that interferes with your ability to effectively manage your academic requirements it is YOUR responsibility to inform the instructor as early as possible. Failure to do so will greatly reduce the ability of the instructor to make an accommodation.

4 Academic Honesty and Integrity Angelo State University expects its students to maintain complete honesty and integrity in their academic pursuits. Students are responsible for understanding and complying with the university Academic Honor Code and the ASU Student Handbook.
