Course Objectives

The student should gain an understanding of the field of management, including its development, areas of focus, and terminology. This basic understanding will serve different purposes for different students. For students majoring in business fields, the class will serve as a springboard for other classes. For students not majoring in business a basic understanding of the management field will provide a framework for developing managerial skills and competencies necessary in the "real-world" in fields ranging from corporate America to parenthood.

Exams and Activities

There will be two exams during the semester. Exams are not comprehensive. Each exam will be worth 100 points. NO MAKE-UP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN.

During the course of the semester there will be at least seven in class written activities. These activities will be administered randomly throughout the semester and the will be NO MAKE-UP ACTIVITIES. However, grades will be based on the student’s five best scores. Material for the activities may include, but are not limited to class lecture, the book, the syllabus, videos, & presentations. For this reason it is recommended that each student bring their book and syllabus to class every day.

Students will present a group project to the class in groups of no more than 4 students. This presentation will be worth 50 points and cover a chapter from the text.

Class Etiquette

Although it violates school policy, I do not mind non-alcoholic drinks in class. On occasion we will have food as a class, otherwise please refrain from bringing snacks to class. Do not use phones, pagers, or headphones in class. Anyone using a phone during class will be asked to leave and not return until the next class period. Reading the Kernel or any other paper during class is prohibited. Children are wonderful, but they do not add much to our class discussion. Therefore please refrain from babysitting in class. Use common courtesy in the classroom.

Disabilities

Students with disabilities should advise the instructor of any special needs. Disabilities will be accommodated in accordance with university policy.
