We will use http://blackboard.jmu.edu for our course web page. Posted on this page will be class announcements, handouts, overheads, homework assignments, practice examinations, my grade sheet etc. You should get in the habit of checking this page frequently. As a teacher, I have the following responsibilities: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6)

come prepared for every class with a well-thought out presentation design the class so that you can accomplish the learning objectives for the class create a mutually respectful classroom environment promptly grade and return assignments carefully consider student concerns regarding the grading of student work respond to a student email within 24 hours (please put “CIS 330” in the subject line)

As students, you have the following responsibilities: 1) be prepared for every class by reading the chapters, reviewing previous notes and doing assignments. Complete all work on time with proper thought. 2) treat your classmates and me with respect. 3) ask questions when you do not understand. Asking questions is a sign of maturity, not ignorance. 4) understand that I am not trying to “nit-pick” when I grade your papers. Being able to clearly articulate your ideas is essential for the business professional. 5) have a positive outlook on class. Problems are opportunities in work clothes.

Policies and Procedures 1.

Attendance in class is expected. Participation in class activities (including in-class exercises) is an important part of the class. Not all in-class exercises will be announced prior to class. If you know that you will be missing class, please let me know ahead of time.

2.

I will not give a make-up exam or in-class assignment because it is impossible to make an equivalent exam or assignment without placing the student at either an advantage or disadvantage. I will drop your lowest in-class exercise grade at the end of the course this does not include the resume or internship prep exercises.

3.

I do not accept late homework. It is not fair to those students that handed the assignment in on time. 2

4.

Cases involving academic dishonesty will be handled according to policy specified in the James Madison University Honor Code. Cases of cheating will be subject to the appropriate provisions of the James Madison University Honor Code.

5.

The exams are very important in this course. If for some reason you are unable to make this time/date, please let me know ASAP.

6.

After returning assignments, if you believe you should receive additional credit please provide a written explanation in support of your position. I need time to review your submittal so that I can give it the serious thought that your request deserves. You need to submit your request within one week after I return the quiz or assignment.

7.

Exceptions in the form of either WP or WF may be granted if a student demonstrates the existence of extenuating circumstances, outside the student's control, that prevented attending of performing well in class. A student seeking an exception to this rule must provide a letter to the Director of the Program teaching the class describing the request and the justification (including supporting documentation).

8.

In case of inclement weather, see JMU's cancellation policy http://www.jmu.edu/JMUpolicy/1309.shtml). Include additional information specific to the class or to your commuting situation.

9.

If you are a student with a documented disability who will be requesting accommodations in my class, please make sure you are registered with the Office of Disability Services, Wilson Hall, Room 107, 568-6705 and provide me with an Access Plan letter outlining your accommodations. I will be glad to meet with you privately during my office hours to discuss your special needs. Students who have an approved “Access Plan” from the JMU Office of Disability Services which calls for either (1) a quiet testing environment or (2) extended time on tests and examinations must present a request for testing accommodation to their instructor at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the scheduled beginning time of the test or examination. The reason for this advance notice is to provide the instructor ample time to arrange for suitable facilities. Seven days notice is required in recognition that the College of Business lacks readily available classroom and conference room space.
