VII. Grading Criteria, Guidelines, and Assignments
I will give four in-class term
examinations. Each exam consists of 25 multiple-choice questions. Examination
material will be drawn from the textbook reading, any other assigned readings,
and class lectures and discussion. Emphasis will be placed on the conceptual
understanding of the material and NOT on memory alone. Understanding the
application of the concepts will greatly enhance your grade.
I use the following standards for the exams:
1. All exams are administered in Canvas. I recommend that you install the Canvas app for your portable devices as an alternative to using your computer.
2.
Canvas exams show only one question at a time
so students cannot copy the entire exam and email it to other students.
3.
Exam questions and question answers are
randomized so if two students sit side-by-side they will not have the same
exam.
4.
Students cannot go back to change their prior
answers to minimize collaboration.
5. Exam duration is 30 minutes (1 minute per question plus 5 minutes for technical delays).
6.
I use synchronized testing to minimize sharing
of answers (all students must start the exam within 15 minutes). After 15
minutes, I lock the students out and give take another exam with a 25% penalty.
7.
Exams are
No make-up examination
will be given without the prior approval of the instructor. If you fail to take
the exam, without valid documentation, I will prepare a different exam which you
will take at 75% of its grade value.

unexcused absences. For each absence after your allowance, 5 points will be deducted.
Note that absences are only excused for a valid reason (health problems, jury
duty etc.) and MUST be accompanied with documentation (i.e., health center note
with a phone number to call for questions) provided within a week of returning
to class.

instructor in person within 2 weeks after the graded component is returned. No
adjustment will be made for the scores of graded components after the two-week
period. Students are responsible for keeping track of their graded components.

X. Sacramento State Academic Honesty Policy and Regulations excerpt “Definitions of Academic Dishonesty” http://www.csus.edu/umanual/student/STU-0100.htm
Cheating. At Sacramento State, cheating is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work through the use of any dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means. Cheating at Sacramento State includes but is not limited to:
1. Copying, in part or in whole, from another’s test or other evaluation instrument.
2. Using crib notes, "cheat sheets," or any other device, including electronic devices not permitted by the instructor as an aid in writing an examination.
3. Submitting work previously graded in another course unless doing so has been approved by the course instructor or by department policy.
4. Submitting work simultaneously presented in more than one course, unless doing so has been approved by the respective course instructors or by the department policies of the respective departments.
5. Altering or interfering with grading or grading instructions.
6. Sitting for an examination by a surrogate, or as a surrogate.
7. Any other act committed by a student in the course of his or her academic work that defrauds or misrepresents, including aiding or abetting in any of the actions defined above.
Plagiarism. Plagiarism, as a form of cheating, is the use of distinctive ideas or works belonging to another person without providing adequate acknowledgement of that person’s contribution. Regardless of the means of appropriation, incorporation of another’s work into one’s own requires adequate identification and acknowledgement. Plagiarism is doubly unethical because it deprives the author of rightful credit and gives credit to someone who has not earned it. Acknowledgement is not necessary when the material used is common knowledge. Plagiarism at Sacramento State includes but is not limited to:
1. The act of incorporating into one’s own work the ideas, words, sentences, paragraphs, or parts thereof, or the specific substance of another’s work without giving appropriate credit thereby representing the product as entirely one's own. Examples include not only word-for-word copying, but also the "mosaic" (i.e., interspersing a few of one’s own words while, in essence, copying another’s work), the paraphrase (i.e., rewriting another’s work while still using the other’s fundamental idea or theory); fabrication (i.e., inventing or counterfeiting sources), ghost-writing (i.e., submitting another’s work as one’s own) and failure to include quotation marks on material that is otherwise acknowledged; and
2. Representing as one’s own another’s artistic or scholarly works such as musical compositions, computer programs, photographs, paintings, drawing, sculptures, or similar works.
XI. Student services

XIII. Other Information
Late and Make-up Policy: The general policy for this course is to require completion of assignments as specified in the class schedule. All assignments are due at the beginning of the class period. Late assignments may be submitted within a week of the due date with a 20% penalty. No late assignments will be accepter after 1 week. All assignments will be submitted using Canvas (please do not email your assignments). I will send you instructions on how to submit the assignments before the due dates.
Incomplete: An incomplete grade (I) will only be issued in accordance to College of Business Administration policy. Among the conditions imposed by the instructor that must be met are: (1) a current passing grade (70 percent or better), (2) the successful completion of all prior assignments and exams, and (3) an unforeseen and unusual event beyond your control which prevents you from completing the semester, and can be documented and verified (employment-related events do not qualify). (4) An incomplete will only be considered after it has been determined that a withdrawal (W) cannot be issued. If you do not meet (1) through (4), you do not qualify for an incomplete. As stipulated by the University, an incomplete cannot be assigned when it is necessary for the student to attend additional class meetings to complete the course requirements.
Unauthorized Withdrawal (WU) indicates that a student did not officially withdraw from the course but failed to complete it. Among the conditions imposed by the instructor that must be met are: (1) a passing grade (70 percent or better) at the time that the student stopped attending classes, (2) attendance stopped before the 11th week of the semester. If you do not meet (1) and (2), you do not qualify for an unauthorized withdrawal (WU) grade and as a result you will be assigned a failing (F) grade.
Laptop and cell phone regulation: No photographing, recording or text messaging is allowed without permission of the instructor.
A disruptive student is a student who engages in classroom behavior that interferes with the process of teaching and learning. If a student is disruptive to my class, I will follow the Procedures for dealing with incidents of disruptive behavior described in the DEALING WITH INCIDENTS OF DISRUPTIVE STUDENT BEHAVIOR IN THE CLASSROOM document http://www.csus.edu/umanual/student/STU-0112.htm.
