This analysis incorporates a global perspective as well as ethical, societal and environmental concerns. This course utilizes a mixture of lecture, class discussion, case analysis, and in-class exercises. Students are encouraged to actively participate in the discussions and problem analyses, as this enhances the ability to translate the academic material to the reality of the work environment. Regular attendance is mandatory since the student is responsible for all material covered in the lecture, class discussions, hand-outs and text. There is typically a high correlation between good classroom attendance and satisfactory performance on exams and other assignments.
Attendance is taken only at the beginning of the class session.
Do not ask me to mark you present if you are late. If you miss six class sessions without a verifiable medical or work-related excuse, the instructor has the right to lower your class grade. A double absence will be recorded for the days missed for the oral group reports. The exam dates will be given with adequate notice but generally follow after every five chapters. Students taking all exams will be able to drop their lowest grade.
