The student is responsible for material assigned but not covered in the lecture. One question on each test will be of material from the readings or book which were assigned but which were not covered in class. Class participation is required. The instructor serves as a facilitator complementing the assigned readings with other material and real world current news. His job is not to rehash the readings but to expand upon them.
Discussion is required.
Case or article presenters will be selected randomly. If called upon to be the Presenter and the student is not prepared or acts in a frivolous matter, the student is deemed to be absent and the appropriate penalty served. Each student is given at the beginning of the term one and only one free OUT note. At any time during the course of the semester which the student does not feel sufficiently prepared, the student before the start of that particular class , can present the instructor with the OUT card. This allows the student to be exempt from being the Presenter and protects the student from being penalized for poor performance as a discussant for that class session.
