Course Grading:  The projected cutoff point for A’s, B’s, C’s, and D’s are based on a 90%, 80%, 70%, and 60%, respectively.  At the end of the semester these projected cutoff points will be adjusted (i.e. raised or lowered) in order to reflect the overall performance of the class.  Thus the actual grade will not be known with certainty until after the semester is over.

Student will receive an updated grade sheet along with the graded assignment and any comments or suggestions regarding the work submitted.

Management students should be aware that a grade of a “C” or better is necessary to meet the degree or certificate requirements.

Course Expectations:  This is a college level course and you will, therefore, be expected to uphold established college standards as outlined in the most recent Odessa College Bulletin.  Your final grade will be based upon a combination of the following factors:

1. Preparedness
2. Purposeful participation in the classroom discussion
3. Ability to relate and apply the concepts discussed in the course
4. Scores on exams, projects, and other assignments
5. Score on final exam

Note that preparedness and purposeful participation are the first two elements of the grading criteria.  This is not strictly a lecture course.  Students will be required to actively participate in the discussions, both individually and in assigned groups.  You cannot participate if you are not present in class, and purposeful participation is difficult to achieve if you are not prepared.  If you must be absent, please contact your instructor before the absence if possible or as soon after the missed class as possible to make arrangements for the make-up work or missed assignments.  This is your responsibility.  Show respect to everyone in the class by communicating appropriately - do not sleep or put your head or feet on the tables or chairs. 

The instructor's office hours and phone numbers are listed above.  Please do not hesitate to utilize this time to discuss any course-related topic.
