Grading Policy:
The
final grade will be determined by the following components: 1. Objective Examinations (30%). All objective examinations using
text, handouts, and lecture information will be graded as follows: 90 - 100% = A 80 - 89% =
B 70 - 79% =
C 60 - 69% =
D 59 &
below = F 2. Case Studies (30%). The case studies will be evaluated on
how well they have been analyzed and presented. 3. Class Exercises (30%). Class exercises will be conducted to
promote appropriate business behaviors, improve communication skills, and
enhance teamwork. 4. Performance Appraisals (10%). The performance appraisal is a checklist
that the instructor will use periodically to evaluate the student’s
performance. Note: If a student is absent 50% of the
scheduled class time, the student cannot pass the course with an A-D
score. The student will receive an
“F” or an “N” grade because in a real business situation, non-attendance will
result in termination. The “F” grade
is given to a student who averages below 60% and an “N” grade is given to a
student who is averaging 60%-100%. |
