Course Policies 1. Attendance & Participation: Attendance and participation in class discussions (or lack thereof) will be evaluated and taken into consideration when final grades are being prepared. Students cannot participate if they are not present in class. Also, additional information may be covered in class which you will be responsible for on unscheduled quizzes or on the mid-term examination. Students are expected to contribute to class discussion by sharing their viewpoints, comments and questions. 2. Quizzes/Class tests: Only three quizzes will be taken throughout the semester. Best two will be considered. There will be no option for makeup quizzes unless medical emergencies which need to be supported by due documentation. 3. Examination
There will be two exams- midterm and final. The mid-term exam can be a combination of objective questions, short questions, broad questions and small cases. However, the final examination will be comprehensive.

4. Group project: Written project: Each group will be assigned with a project topic by the course instructor. They have to complete the project paper. The instructions for preparing it will be discussed in the class. The term paper

The project paper has to be defended trough group presentation. Groups are expected to make

professional presentations to classes and judges during these tasks. Students will also be expected to dress in business attire when making their presentations.
