Using the models to help with management action is what the course is about. Application of the techniques to practical problems is stressed. The goal of this course is to provide the student with a clear understanding of the fundamentals of management science. Students enrolled in this course will demonstrate mastery of this goal through classroom participation, in summative written tests, in the preparation and maintenance of a detailed notebook, in computer work, and in comprehensive examinations. This is in keeping with the College of Business Administration program objectives to prepare a student for entry into a career in the business world.
Homework is required.
Graded work is expected to be done individually without collaborating with other members of the class. Homework will constitute a significant portion of the Notebook grade. It is required that each student keep all class material, organized in such a manner that it may be plastic spiral bound on the left edge between a front and back card-stock cover of the student's own design. The front cover shall be appropriately labeled with the student's name, course and section numbers, and course title. The notebook shall contain all assigned written work, computer print-outs, and other material as specified by the Instructor.
