You are expected to actively participate in class discussion. This can best be accomplished by doing the assigned reading before class. If participation is low, I may call on individuals to respond. While participation is good, insightful participation is even better. You will be rewarded for perceptive, intelligent comments.
Professionalism is extremely important to one's career success.
In this course I encourage you to work with others in a polite, professional manner and to demonstrate a positive attitude. These skills, perhaps more than any others, will pave the way for your professional success. All three exams are required. No early or late exams will be given, except in extreme cases such as documented illness and death in the family. All material discussed in class and all assigned readings are fair game for exams.
