Class meetings are to be regarded as important business appointments. Prompt and regular attendance is required. Attendance will be a factor in determining a student's grade insofar as the class participation portion of the final grade is concerned. Group work, discussion and study on cases or readings assigned for class discussion are expected and encouraged. Written assignments are to be individually prepared unless they are assigned to a group.
Groups are self-selected.
For group assignments, the same grade will be given to each member except as modified by a peer evaluation process. All written assignments are to be turned in at the class meeting on the scheduled dates. Exceptions will be granted under extraordinary circumstances only. Students requesting such exceptions must present the circumstances to the instructor before the scheduled date whenever possible. This syllabus is subject to change.
