Fall 2018 Course Syllabi

Course Requirements: 1.) Completion of assignments, tests, and presenting the final business plan are required 2.) Everyone will complete a final business plan related to a fictional business. The plan should consist of a high-quality report, covering all aspects of a business plan as discussed in class, length as determined by the comprehensiveness of the plan, and a cover page and reference page. Grading will be on such factors as applicability, effectiveness and quality. 3.) Grading is the accumulation of assignments, quizzes, projects, business plan and tests for total points. 90-100= A 80-89=B 70-79=C 65-69=D below 65=F Graded items Item Points Percentage Item Points Percentage of Grade Assignments (3@30) 90 9% Weekly Discussion Questions (16@10) 160 16% Quizzes (12@20) 240 24% Business Plan 100 10% Mid Term Exam 50 50% Final Exam 200 20% Participation (16@10) 160 16% Total 1000 100% IMPORTANT : All assignments (unless noted by instructor) are posted on the Blackboard course shell, accessible through the College’s website. Also, all assignments must be submitted electronically through Blackboard. I designed the course shell to not accept any late assignments, so be sure to take the necessary amount of time to appropriately complete and submit the assignment on time. **If you are experiencing issues with Blackboard, I have no issue with you emailing the assignment to me – there will still be a time stamp on your submission, regardless of which method you use. It is your responsibility to get the assignment to me. ONLINE NATURE OF COURSE To simulate class discussion, I will have you participate in the discussion forums. Protocol for these discussion questions (DQs) is as follows: • You will be required to post one initial discussion question of 125-175 words each week. This will be due by Thursday at 11:59 PM every week. • You will be required to reply to at least one other students' responses per discussion question with a substantial follow-up. This could be a question about what they wrote, expansion on their thoughts, however you see fit. “Susie, I agree with what you wrote” is NOT sufficient.
