The focus of the learning process is a shared responsibility of the student and instructor. We stress teamwork and group projects, with many case analyses and written and oral presentations. Above all, we expect each student to contribute to the education of his or her colleagues, believing that adult learners have considerable expertise to share with classmates. The graduate study of business requires a substantial time commitment over an extended period. Each student is expected to attend class on a regular basis and to arrive on time.
Assignments are to be turned in on a timely basis.
Penalties for late assignments may include grade reduction or non-acceptance. Although most instructors will try to make arrangements for a student whose work demands travel, this may not be possible in all cases. Students are responsible for informing instructors in advance of known absences and as soon as possible in the case of emergencies. It is impossible to predict the amount of time required to successfully complete a particular course. Variables include a student's academic background and ability and the nature of the course.
