General Education Goals/Objectives:
Relationship to Campus Theme:
This course assists job seekers to interpret human
nature
--
their own and their potential employer’s, and utilize that interpretation to manipulate their
perceived value as an employee.
Technology
assists students to present the most professional
presence possible to help their potential employer see
beyond
the surface to the intrinsic value
they represent.
Classroom Policies:
If you did not show up for work 3 times without explanation or
forewarning, you would be fired. This course is to help you become prepared for the world of
work. You will drop one letter grade if you have 3 unexcused absences. Attendance is vital to
this class for you to succeed.
Student Email Policy:
Dakota College at Bottineau is increasingly dependent upon email as an official form of
communication. A student’s campus-assigned email address will be the only one
recognized by the campus for official mailings. The liability for missing or not acting
upon important information conveyed via campus email rests with the student.
