Evaluation Procedures
Describe how you will evaluate your students for each graded activity.
Reading Assignments:
Each week will have a reading assignment from the textbook, which are to be completed. From
that reading, students will be assigned Forum topics, chapter questions, or special projects.
Forum Assignments:
The Forum Topics are online discussion on a specific topic. The students response to the topic
should be detailed, specific, factual information that coincides with the reading assignment.
Please include, in your submissions when applicable, examples from your work or witness that
pertains to the topic. Please respond to at least two of your classmates postings. Include all
references including the textbook, websites, etc. when applicable. You will be graded on how
well you respond to the subject topic and engage with your classmates. The assignment is graded
on contents and should consist of approximately 250 words with any necessary references to
support ideas.
PowerPoint Presentations:
Each PowerPoint slide needs to show depth, detail, reference to the text materials (use quotation
marks/citations when material is copied word for word) and real-world examples to support any
general points. Keep your submissions concise, focused, and succinct. Quality is preferred, and
not quantity of verbiage. Submit each assignment paper in APA format with supporting
references. This assignment will be graded on content, grammar, and formatting.
Final Paper:
The Final Paper is a research paper based on the topics covered from the class. The topic for the
paper is chosen by the student from the topics covered in class. The student will respond with a
business logistics/supply chain approach from a managerial perspective. Based on material
covered in the class, the student should identify the problem/situation, provide a
resolution/approach, give a rationale to your approach and expected outcome/conclusion. This
project will be presented in APA format and the writing requirement described in the Policies
section of this syllabus. The project is graded on contents, grammar, and format. Minimum word
should be 2000 words with a minimum of 3-5 outside references. References should only be used

Writing Expectations
All written submissions should be submitted in a single font and page set-up that is readable and
neat. It is recommended that students try to adhere to a consistent format, which is described
below. Assignments should be typewritten in double-spaced format with a readable style and
font. It should be submitted inside the electronic classroom (unless classroom access is not
possible and other arrangements have been approved by the professor). Arial 11 or 12-point font
or Times New Roman styles should be used. Page margins Top, Bottom, Left Side and Right

submission variances.
Citation and Reference Style
Attention Please: Students will follow the APA Guidelines as the sole citation and reference
style used in written work submitted as part of coursework to the University. Assignments
completed in a narrative essay or composition format must follow the citation style cited in the
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
Late Assignments
Students are expected to submit classroom assignments by the posted due date and to complete
the course according to the published class schedule. As adults, students, and working
professionals, I understand you must manage competing demands on your time. Should you need
additional time to complete an assignment, please contact me before the due date so we can
discuss the situation and determine an acceptable resolution. Routine submission of late
assignments is unacceptable and may result in points deducted from your final course grade.
Netiquette
Online universities promote the advancement of knowledge through positive and constructive
debate both inside and outside the classroom. Forums on the Internet, however, can
occasionally degenerate into needless insults and flaming. Such activity and the loss of good
manners are not acceptable in a university setting basic academic rules of good behavior and
proper Netiquette must persist. Remember that you are in a place for the rewards and
excitement of learning which does not include descent to personal attacks or student attempts to
stifle the Forum of others.
Technology Limitations: While you should feel free to explore the full-range of creative
composition in your formal papers, keep e-mail layouts simple. The Sakai classroom may
not fully support MIME or HTML encoded messages, which means that bold face, italics,
underlining, and a variety of color-coding or other visual effects will not translate in your
e-mail messages.
