Global Finance & Management Graduate Course BUSN 7240 Prof Myles Bassell page 8 of 16 Methodology Textbook: The textbook is required and an important tool used to expose students to important global finance concepts and topics. You should read all the chapters in the book, but some chapters will receive greater attention than others during the semester. Case Studies: The application of key product and branding concepts will be explored and students will be required to analyze case studies. The answers are not in the cases or the textbook. You must use the facts in the case and the concepts in the book to draw conclusions and make recommendations. The case studies are a great learning tool since they will help improve your understanding of the concepts and strengthen your critical reasoning skills. The questions are designed to give you the opportunity to 1) create, 2) evaluate, 3) analyze, 4) apply, 5) understand, and 6) remember information regarding global finance. You must give a comprehensive explanation using the criteria and components of the relevant concepts. Your answer must be persuasive and use the course concepts as a basis. Each case study analysis should be a minimum of 2,500 words. Each question requires a minimum response of 500 words, but there is no maximum number of words. If your posting is less than 500 words you might receive partial credit. The minimum is not equivalent to a grade of 100% and doing the minimum is not enough to get a grade of 100%. However, it is not just about the number of words posted. There are 4 criteria used to evaluate your posting 1) Quantity, 2) Quality, 3) Relevance, and 4) Manner. Discussion Boards: Discussion threads will post to the course online via Black Board. Students are required to enter the discussion board and post thoughtful comments. Comments should demonstrate an understanding of key course concepts, strong critical thinking skills, and a persuasive logic. You must make 4 posts: 1 main post that answers the questions and 3 subsequent posts regarding the postings of others on our team. Video Segments: There are some video segments posted on BlackBoard. Keep in mind the video lectures are for your benefit. These lectures close the gap between theoretical and practical. Do not just provide a list of topics discussed. You must provided a detailed explanation of the concepts and specific examples discussed in the lecture. Do not include related information from an online source. If you simply copy and paste stuff from the internet your score is a zero. If this happens more than once your grade in the course is an F. However, if you want to include a link, chart, or information that is properly footnoted and include as an attachment at the end of your report I will review the information.

Global Finance & Management Graduate Course BUSN 7240 Prof Myles Bassell page 9 of 16 Research Project There are two skills you should develop in graduate school: 1- the ability to apply the concepts you learn in this course to your job, and 2- the ability to conduct research to find information that will help you solve problems. You are enrolled in a dynamic and exciting graduate business course that gives you the opportunity to get hands on practical experience in conducting research regarding a variety of topics. I will create a unique survey gizmo questionnaire link for each member of our team. I will write the survey questions and you will get respondents. *** Importantly, please also forward this link to your friends / family and ask them to also forward the link to their friends / family. This is a critical component of our research methodology. The sampling technique we are using is called snowball sampling. The key to snowball sampling is to not only get others to complete the survey, but importantly get them to forward the survey link to their friends / family and their friends / family send the survey link to their friends / family. Your survey requests must include this important instruction. You should not complete the survey, but even if you did complete the survey I ask that you not complete the survey more than once. ** Do NOT ask members of our class to complete the survey for you and you should NOT complete their survey. Do NOT send your link to any Brooklyn College email distribution list and certainly do NOT send your survey link to the distribution list for the graduate program since that would be counterproductive. Your survey links will post under TOOLS --> MY GRADES Many have had success having people at the local church, temple, and mosque complete the survey. Some have emailed or text their friends and family the link. Others have sent the link to all their friends on facebook. **** Even if you don't have facebook, ask your friends to post on their facebook page and message their facebook friends. The minimum for each survey should be 100 responses from You can do it!! Yes you can!!

I can't answer any questions during the exam because it will disturb other students. There is NO curve in grading exams. There are NO extra credit assignments. There are no makeup exams. If you do not take the exam your score is a zero and your grade in the course is an F. Everyone must follow the rules below: You are not able to use any electronics during the exam. No cell phones, ipods, ipads, or any other device. You must turn your phone completely off before the exam starts. No talking or texting is permitted during the exam. You can't leave the room during the exam. You can't use notes or books. Not following these exam rules may result in severe penalties including receiving an F in the course and being suspended from the college.

Global Finance & Management Graduate Course BUSN 7240 Prof Myles Bassell page 12 of 16 Academic Integrity If an academic misconduct (for example: cheating on exams or papers, plagiarism ) occurs the instructor will impose the strongest sanctions that the University or College permits. I encourage you to look at articles and/or resources from databases and/or on the Internet to find information regarding the case studies, discussion questions and/or other assignments. However, what you submit to me must be your own work. Direct quotations should be used very rarely and, when used, should be very short. You must always indicate the sources used. Students will not receive credit for answers on the different assignments that are mostly paraphrasing of other sources even if the sources are listed. Paraphrasing should be used very rarely and, when used, students must always indicate the sources used. There is no learning value for students to just quote and/or paraphrase parts of articles and/or resources found on the Internet or somewhere else. If students use information from any source in an assignment and do not cite the source using quotation marks, this is plagiarism, which is a violation of academic integrity at Brooklyn College. If I find evidence of plagiarism in an assignment, the student will receive a score of zero on this assignment. If I find again evidence of plagiarism in another assignment from the same student, this student will receive a failing grade in the class. Furthermore, if a student plagiarizes and/or cheats I am required to report it to the Committee on Academic Integrity. This Committee may then decide to suspend or expel the student. WARNING: The book is an important resource for this course and you must use it to answer the questions. The information needed to answer the questions is contained in the readings and should be the basis for your critical analysis. You are expected to draw conclusions and make recommendations based on the information in the case and the concepts explained in the chapters. Do NOT use other sources unless you properly cite them. If you copy and paste information from the internet and/or do not cite your sources your grade on the assignment is a zero. That is cheating and plagiarism. If you plagiarize a second assignment your course grade is an F.

Global Finance & Management Graduate Course BUSN 7240 Prof Myles Bassell page 13 of 16 Code of Conduct This Code of Conduct highlights and supplements, but does not replace the Code of Conduct issued by Brooklyn College and/or The City University of New York (C.U.N.Y.). The goal of this code is to maximize the classroom experience for all. Your course grade is in part a function of your: 1. exam, project, and quiz results 2. level of participation a. projecting a positive attitude b. making intelligent and relevant remarks on discussion board 3. accurate completion and timely submission of assignments There are other factors that can have a significant impact on your course grade and they include: Cheating / Plagiarism o (phones, ipods, pda s, blackberry s, treo, and other devices are NOT allowed during any exam) Disruptive Behavior o o o o Rudeness Disrespect Lateness Interrupting the lecture Frequent absence Signing the attendance sheet and leaving OR signing for someone else Failure to turn off electronic devices (cell, phones, pagers etc) The faculty and administration of Brooklyn College support an environment free from cheating and plagiarism. Each student is responsible for being aware of what constitutes cheating and plagiarism and for avoiding both. The complete text of the CUNY Academic Integrity Policy and the Brooklyn College procedure for implementing that policy can be found at this site: http://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/bc/policies. If a faculty member suspects a violation of academic integrity and, upon investigation, confirms that violation, or if the student admits the violation, the faculty member MUST report the violation. All students should read carefully and thoroughly the 2011-2012 Brooklyn College Bulletin, especially pp. 21-35 for a complete listing of academic regulations of the College. http://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/pub/documents/grad_bulletin_11.pdf Penalties Violation of this Code of Conduct and other rules of Brooklyn College and C.U.N.Y. can result in: Lowering your course grade one full letter per offense Receiving an F or failing grade for the course Being suspended or expelled from the college or university

Global Finance & Management Graduate Course BUSN 7240 Prof Myles Bassell page 14 of 16 Disability-Related Accommodations In order to receive disability-related academic accommodations students must first be registered with the Center for Student Disability Services. Students who have a documented disability or suspect they may have a disability are invited to set up an appointment with the Director of the Center for Student Disability Services, Ms. Valerie Stewart-Lovell at 718-951-5538. If you have already registered with the Center for Student Disability Services please provide your professor with the course accommodation form and discuss your specific accommodation with him/her. Absence for Religious Reasons You are not required to attend a class meeting if it interferes with your religious observance. However, being absent does not excuse you from submitting or completing any assignments that are due. The state law regarding non-attendance because of religious beliefs can be found in the Brooklyn College Bulletin. http://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/pub/documents/grad_bulletin_11.pdf Important Dates on the College Calendar Friday, July 16 First day of classes Tuesday, July 16 Last day to add a course Wednesday, July 18 Last day to file an Elective Pass/Fail Application Wednesday, July 18-23, Late-add period: T o add a course, the instructor and department must approve on L ate Add Form Wednesday Monday, July 18-23 Drop period D rop a course without a grade; online system is available.

Global Finance & Management Graduate Course BUSN 7240 Prof Myles Bassell page 15 of 16 General This is a graduate course. I developed a roadmap that will enable us to successfully cover the course materials. Late assignments will not be accepted. If you do not complete an assignment your grade for that assignment is a zero. The due dates are set to help you manage the workload and be successful in the course. I will not issue an INC grade since I do not believe that is in your best interest. Campus wide it has been found that almost always the student does not complete the work required by the college's deadline and the computer automatically turns the INC into an F. If necessary you can drop the course with a W grade. However, I designed the course to be meaningful, but also manageable. I know that many of you work, have families, and are taking other courses. I am very confident that you will be able to meet the course requirements. You can do it! Yes you can! Let me know what I can do to help you be successful. **** Your responses to each question must be detailed and demonstrate your understanding of the key concepts in the chapter. You must be able to demonstrate your ability to apply the chapter concepts to the case studies. If you use key terms in your response please define the terms and explain how they are applicable to the case. I know what the terms mean, but for you to get full credit you need to convince me that you know what the terms mean. :-) Do not email me your case study analysis. Post your assignments to BlackBoard. Case Study Analysis You must: + demonstrate your understanding of the chapter concepts + explain the relevant concepts correctly + apply the chapter concepts to the case, and + include facts from the case to support your position *** Type your responses in WORD and save to your computer or flash drive so that you can review your case studies for the exam. Copy and paste your responses to the BlackBoard blog for the assignment by 10 pm on the due date. Each assignment has a separate blog link. After the due date you will no longer be able to post to blackboard. Media Players To make the course more interactive and interesting I also posted a short video for each case. For your convenience I posted two different file types for each video case. VLC Media Player can play Flash (flv) and Mpeg 4 (mpg) video files. Download free VLC Media Player at the link below http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Quick Time also can play Mpeg 4 (mpg) video files http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ Windows Media Player can play Windows Media Video (wmv) files Download free Windows Media Player at the link below http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/10/default.aspx
