How to Succeed in this classExpectations for
yourself

• Many of the in-class activities are based on the
  expectation that you are prepared for class.
  I.E. You have read the chapter, prepared your
  class assignments for submission, are ready to
  discuss your ideas, and have questions relating
  to the reading and assignments.
• There is a lot of terminology in this course. You
  are expected to learn most of that on your own
  and bring questions to class of what you do not
  understand. Pop quizzes will be provided almost
  weekly to ensure you are keeping up with the
  depth of reading needed.

How to Succeed in this classExpectations for
yourself

• Albeit there is a lecture, I will not be covering
  everything in the text, rather we will hit some
  highlights, discuss questions you may have and
  conduct exercises related to the key themes.
  Thus, please prepare accordingly.
• Another function of this course is that you are
  expected to develop strong academic skills.
  Therefore, you are expected to follow proper
  referencing and use of quotations (to avoid
  plageurism) and give credit where credit is due.
  This not only builds good scholarly skills, it
  will serve you well when you are in business and
  tasked with conducting a major report, research,
  or business analysis. Properly quoting your
  sources adds credibility to your work.

Teams/Study Group

• Please take 10 minutes to form a study team of 5
  to 6 people.
• Determine a name for your team
• One member from the team should record a list of
  all of the team members names (last name, first
  name) and submit the list along with the Team
  Name to the instructor by end of class
  today(Obtain Team Form Handout from instructor).

Take a short Break!

• Coming up briefly - Chapter 1
• Next week you will break into your teams during
  the seminar moments and during in-class
  exercises. Thus, it is best that you sit with
  your team mates.
• All students are expected to hand in the first
  assignment. Thereafter, students will be randomly
  selected to hand in their exercises. You must be
  present during class to submit your exercise
  (unless you have given advance notice (agreed to
  by instructor for a pre-planned family event) or
  have provided doctors note for a documented
  illness) . Please come prepared to each class
  with proper referencing.
