YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
To attend all classes. Even though attendance will not be taken during class, there
is direct correlation between class attendance and grades. If you miss class, then
you are responsible for obtaining the information covered during the class since the
quizzes and tests will have questions based on the presentations provided by the
instructor.
To keep up with the reading by ensuring that each required reading is completed
before each class.
To complete all the multiple choice questions at the end of each assigned chapter
before each class. This above all is the best way to ensure you have fully
understood the material. Solutions to these homework assignments will be
distributed after each class, where appropriate.
To inform the instructor if you are at all confused by any of the material as soon as
possible.
No talking, texting, or browsing the Internet during class sessions. Please be
courteous to the instructor, as well as the other students.
CLASS PARTICIPATION
Students are encouraged to participate so they can learn from each other. Active
involvement in learning increases what is remembered, how well it is assimilated, and
how the learning is used in new situations. In making statements to peers about their
own thoughts on a class topic, students must articulate those thoughts and also submit
them to (hopefully constructive) examination by others. In listening to their peers,
students hear many different ways of interpreting and applying class material, and thus
are able to integrate many examples of how to use the information.
SPECIAL NEEDS
Any student with special needs should bring this matter to the instructors attention as
soon as possible, but not later than the second week of class. The instructor will do
everything he can to accommodate your needs.

GRADING
In the R. H. Smith MBA/MS core courses (including electives), the proportion of A-, A,
and A+ grades should by policy lie between 30% and 40% in the event that no C or
lower grades are given. This recommended target is across all sections of the core
courses. Policy recommends that a class-average GPA of approximately 3.35 is
achieved for the course grades. This means you will be graded on a curve.
