Course Policies / Expectations: Attendance Verification In accordance with Title IV of the Higher Education Act, attendance verification is required for all full-time undergraduate students to receive financial aid. To comply, ALL students (whether receiving financial aid or not) must participate in a required Attendance Verification Assessment that is located at the top of Bb for this course (Action Required > Attendance Verification). Your participation/completion of this assessment is required no later than Sunday, August 28 at 11:59pm. Failure to comply could affect distribution of your financial aid awards Academic Integrity As with all Lindner College of Business efforts, in this course, you will be held to the highest ethical standards, critical to building character. Ensuring your character is vital and ultimately your responsibility. To help ensure the alignments of incentives, we will adhere to the Two Strikes Policy on Academic Integrity that supplements the UC Code of Conduct, both of which you have received. LCB instructors are required to report ANY incident of academic misconduct (ex. cheating, plagiarism) to the college review process. Disability Students with disabilities/special needs who need academic accommodations or other specialized services will receive reasonable accommodations to meet their individual needs. Students requiring special accommodation must register with the Disability Services Office http://www.uc.edu/sas/disability Attendance/Participation This is an experiential/interactive course, so attendance and participation is critical to learning. Students are expected to attend class, arrive on time and as with any other appointment, proactively notify me of expected absences and retroactively notify me of unanticipated absences. Participation while there is no formal grading for participation, I will reserve the right to adjust your aggregate grade by 0-2 points (up or down) based on my observations gleaned throughout the semester. Technology Students are to bring fully charged laptops to class. Cellphones must be in the off position during class. Students are expected to check Blackboard regularly as all information on Assignments/Class Communication will be housed here. Email set up in Blackboard is the primary means of communication and it is advisable that you check it often. The instructor and students are expected to respond to each other s emails within 48 hours. Lecture Notes will be published on Tuesday, prior to the Wednesday class, under Learning Content Weekly Class Materials. Students are EXPECTED to review the Lecture Notes PRIOR to class to facilitate the in-class learning process. While you will be responsible for all class content (powerpoint lectures, class discussions, information from student presentations) and exams will feature any of this content, I will not lecture on every item on the powerpoints. Thus, if you are unclear on any area and I don t cover it in class, I expect that you will ask questions in class on such areas. Dress Code this course includes presentations to the class and guest speakers. Students are expected to dress business casual as a show of respect when we have guest speakers and during any class in which you will be presenting to the class.

Course Structure & Grading Policies: Instructional Methods This course utilizes the Blackboard (Bb) Learning Management System to provide student-centered online learning that will enhance the teaching and learning process. Through a variety of instructional methods (lecture, in-class student engagement, case studies, projects, student-led instruction), students will become immersed in the learning process. Classroom time will include lecture/instruction, student led teaching/presentations, guest speakers, group projects, exercises and ample Q&A time. I come from the business world so I integrate business practices, methods, expectations, accountability and interaction which I believe will help you best prepare for life after UC. Structure the course calendar/assignments (below) outlines weekly topics/due dates. We will adjust as needs warrant (ex. weather) and changes will be communicated as far in advance as possible. Assignments / Exams all assignments/exams will be submitted via Blackboard utilizing the appropriate document requested in the Assignment.

Makes clear connections. Skillful control of language and mechanics. Sentence structure is strong and effective in communicating information. Presentation graphics/words are concise/bulleted and add value Command of the topic being presented; internalized knowledge clearly communicated. Helpful direction to audience of key points/emphasis. Succinct, focused on key points, engagement of audience, good eye contact, minimal reference to notes, minimal extra words (ah s, um s etc.) and solid body language (hands used purposefully, no language that distracts audience) Response somewhat answers each part of the assigned question(s) An analysis is provided with regard to the larger concepts of the lesson; however, support is needed to provide clarification of concepts Generally acceptable vocabulary, relates to topic. Few spelling/ grammatical errors that do not affect meaning. Some excess wordiness which doesn t add to the value of the writing. Presentation graphics have minimal relation to topic and slides contain extra words/sentences Basic understanding of the topic being presented although clear that information shared is largely from rote memorization vs. full understanding. More difficult for audience to extract key points. Less focused, read from notes/ slides, less engagement with audience, minimal eye contact and moderate use of filler words detract from presentation. Body language somewhat distracting (identical hand movements throughout, hands in pocket etc) Response vaguely answers each part of the assigned question(s) An analysis is not provided with regard to the larger concepts of the lesson Limited or inappropriate use of vocabulary related to topic. Many errors in spelling/grammar. Presentation graphics non-existent /inappropriate to topic and slides contain wrong information Little to no understanding of the topic being presented as evidenced by reading from notes/slides. Virtually no eye contact, stands in one spot, no facial animation, monotone delivery. Excessive use of filler words. Uninspiring.
