Evaluation Method:

Course work will consist of careful preparation of assigned readings, active participation in in-class and online discussions, chapter quizzes, case analyses, and unit exams. Students are encouraged to use the Pulse app (Android and iOS) for D2L course updates and notifications. 1. Examinations: Exams will be multiple choice, true/false, and short answer based primarily on the textbook content. If you miss an exam, bring appropriate documentation to your instructor. If warranted, the exam may be excused. Without documentation, a grade of ‘zero’ will be recorded. 2. Assignments: There will be three case studies assigned throughout the chapter as indicated on the final page. Case studies are designed to develop and evaluate the higher-order thinking skills of analysis, evaluation, and synthesis. Case studies will be completed using the accompanying questions, and for the third case, by using the case analysis format available on the Desire2Learn website (http://d2l.burmanu.ca). Submissions will be uploaded to the D2L Dropbox by the indicated deadline. 3. Participation: This course is improved if you are in class and contributing to discussions. Class will give you opportunities to ask questions, share your personal experiences, and be involved in interactive activities and team processes. Be prepared to discuss chapter information, outside readings and any chapter case assignments given. In addition, keep up with D2L discussions. 4. Tardy Assignments: All assignments must be submitted to the appropriate Desire2Learn Dropbox. Tardy assignments, submitted after the time of the due date, will receive a daily 5% penalty from the graded mark to a maximum of 25%. In the event that there is a technical difficulty with Desire2Learn, email the assignments to [email protected]. If there is a technical or personal difficulty on your end, contact your instructor before the deadline. Noon April 12 is the final date all late assignments will be accepted for points. 5. Academic Honesty: The policy in the Academic Calendar (see page 27, Academic Calendar 2018-19) will be followed. In general, do your own work; do not copy textbook content, avoid unauthorized collaboration, give credit where credit is due, and encourage, through your words and actions, others to do the same. 6. Quizzes: There will be chapter quizzes in the Desire2Learn environment to encourage students to review class content. The quizzes are to be completed within a week of the class period in which their content is discussed. Students have two opportunities to do each quiz (higher score counts) and the lowest two scores will be automatically dropped. 7. Attendance: Students are expected to be in class by the scheduled start time. The University attendance policy (pg. 28, 2018-19 Academic Calendar) indicates the possible consequences for unexcused absences in excess of 15% of total class periods. Students are responsible to communicate excused absences 2

according to policy. There are no points for attendance. 8. D2L Discussions: There will be a total of five discussion topics throughout the semester. Students will be expected to contribute a minimum of five times in each discussion topic for full points. Each topic will be open for 14 days from the time the initial topic is posted. Should you miss a topic, you can compensate by contributing additional quality posts in future topic areas. 9. Bonus: There will be a bonus assignment related to the Marcus Buckingham positive psychology Strengths videos we will watch periodically. There will also be bonus points available for attending, summarizing, and applying to our course content the Speaker Series presentations. More information on the bonus points will be available in D2L. School of Business Learning Objectives:

Academic Honesty “Burman University expects integrity, including academic honesty, from all members of the University community. Therefore, all forms of academic dishonesty are unacceptable. This includes the use of technology in any form to perform an act of academic dishonesty in or out of the classroom. Instructors reserve the right to forbid any type of electronic device (computers, calculators, cell phones, MP3 players, iPods, PDAs, etc.) to be used in the classroom, especially during examinations. Academic dishonesty includes plagiarism, cheating, and misrepresentation. Plagiarism can be either intentional or unintentional. Intentional plagiarism occurs when people present the words, ideas, or data—including words, ideas, or data from electronic sources—of someone else as their own. Unintentional plagiarism can occur when students present another person’s words, ideas, or data—including words, ideas, or data from electronic sources—without proper documentation. Examples of plagiarism include the following: 1. Submitting, for evaluation, an essay written by someone else as if it were one’s own work. 2. Submitting, for evaluation, an essay written in part by someone else as if the entire essay were one’s own work. 3. Paraphrasing or summarizing words, ideas, or data without properly documenting the source of the information. 4. Buying essays or assignments and submitting them as one’s own work. 5. Submitting, for evaluation, the same essay or assignment in more than one course without the permission of both instructors. Cheating occurs when people pretend to have a level of competence they do not possess. Examples of cheating include the following: 1. Copying from another person’s work during an examination or while completing an assignment. 2. Using a “cheat sheet” or any other memory or skill aid without permission during an examination or while completing an assignment. 3. Collaborating on an examination or assignment without permission. Misrepresentation occurs when people fabricate a source of information or distort information from sources. Examples of misrepresentation include the following: 1. Documenting or referring to a source that does not exist. 2. Attributing incorrect or non-existent information to an existent source. 3. Misrepresenting source information. Academic misconduct occurs when students commit academically dishonest acts other than plagiarism, cheating, and misrepresentation. Examples of academic misconduct include the following: 1. Being a party to any act of plagiarism, cheating, misrepresentation, or academic misconduct (i.e. selling term papers, permitting someone to copy one’s work, writing essays for someone else). 2. Attempting to gain or gaining an unfair advantage over others by offering services or materials in exchange for favourable consideration. 3. Changing or altering grades on essays, examinations, or assignments. 4. Changing or altering grades on official documents, electronic or otherwise. 5. Any act associated with obtaining and sharing examinations or answers to examinations before the examinations are given. 6. Theft or unauthorized use of library materials. 5

7. Copyright infringement of published materials (print/media/Internet). Students who are discovered to have committed academic dishonesty will receive a penalty, or penalties. Course instructors will identify how they will deal with academic dishonesty in their course outlines. Actions may include the following: 1. Reduced grade on the assignment or examination. 2. Reduced final grade in the course. 3. An F grade on the assignment or examination. 4. An F grade in the course. In all cases where academic dishonesty is proved, the course instructor will inform the Registrar in writing of both the infraction and action taken. This information will be kept in the student’s file and in cases of severe infraction or repeated incidents of academic dishonesty, the name and incident(s) will be reported to the Academic Committee, which may choose to take further action. This may include the following: 1. Written reprimand. 2. Academic probation. 3. Suspension from the University. 4. Dismissal from the University. 5. Suspension of any degree already awarded. 6. Withdrawal of any degree already awarded. Students who are penalized for academic dishonesty may appeal through the regular academic grievance procedure.” (Academic Calendar, 2017-18, Page 25)
