At the discretion of the professor an oral presentation may be substituted for the written paper. Papers or presentations will be graded, and the grade achieved on the paper will be recorded as the class participation grade for the day missed. As in the business world you are expected to be on time, ready to go at the beginning of class. Your boss in the business world will expect you to be on time to work, on time for meetings, and on time with assignments. Being late for class will be considered the equivalent of being late for a meeting.
Emergencies happen to everyone.
If you are late more than once, I shall take notice and let you know that this is inappropriate. If you are late more often, penalties will add up in your class participation grade. If an assignment is late, you will lose one letter grade for each 24 hours, or part thereof. Assignments will be made on a weekly basis, and will be taken from Cases in Strategic Marketing , David W. Rosenthal and Lew G. Brown, Prentice-Hall, 2000. My most basic goal in teaching is to add to your personal marketability, both short term and long term.
