BBLearn will become the primary source of communication along with Wiley Plus throughout the semester. We will utilize Bblearn collaborate for eight face to face sessions. You must attend a minimum of six sessions but, I would recommend participating in all eight sessions. I

2 will when the first session is, this session is required for all to participate. It will be the first week of the semester 2. HOMEWORK Most chapters are covered in two class periods. Prior to the first class of a given section the chapter is assigned to be read, this must be completed prior beginning to work assignments. Homework will be assigned on bblearn and WileyPlus. I will notify you when an assignment is given with the due date. Homework - Important points: - Due at the period specified on the syllabus schedule (the syllabus will be a work in progress), - Assignment handed in for grading will not be discussed on Collaborate, - Work must be submitted using EXCEL and the electronic working papers through WileyPlus or bblearn - Handwritten, late, sloppy, or plagiarized assignments not accepted, - All work must be the student s own work and turned in on time. Work not submitted on time will receive a reduction in points. Check figures are located in the margins of the problem material of the text. Regular calculators, not phone calculators, are necessary for all class work, quizzes and tests. Read all appendices which are included at the end of some chapters. Students may work together on homework but each student is responsible for his/her own work and may not submit identical answers especially when opinions and judgment are required 2. QUIZZES AND Exams There will be short quizzes that usually cover two chapters at a time. These will be listed on the schedule. They are worth 2 points each and one is dropped at the end of the semester. Each test is also listed on your schedule. They are worth 1 points. No make-up quizzes or exams will be given. Arrangements may be made in advance to take the tests during the semester at a different time if the student expects to be absent and must be taken before the following class period. The final exam, however, must be taken during the scheduled day and time listed in the Final Exam Schedules on the college registrar website at 3. CASE ASSIGNMENTS There will be three case assignments. These will be completed in class in small groups. These are worth 5 points each. They will cover the previous chapter material. These assignments cannot be made-up as they will provide a measure of the student s ability to work with others and knowledge of the material. Much of the routine work in colaborate will be discussed and practiced in small groups with participation being part of the grade. 4. ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION Students are expected to come to class on time, attend the entire class period, be prepared for discussion, read the chapter, and be able to work with others. Attendance and participation is always a part of each student s grade. There will be 2 attendance points earned for each class period up to six. These points are earned based on arriving on time, attending the entire class period, and remaining.

3 Plagiarism, cheating, and use of unauthorized materials will not be tolerated and will result in failure of the course. DISABILITY STATEMENT: If you need special accommodations because of a disability, please provide documentation to the student services office so that I can be notified of your needs and work with you in the most appropriate manner. Students are responsible for discussing any arrangements with the instructor at the beginning of the semester.
