VII. Grading Criteria, Guidelines, and Assignments
Course
Grading:
Exams: I will give two in-class term
examinations. Each exam consists of fifty (50) 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.
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.

Your grade is also affected by the number of
unexcused absences. You are allowed to have 5 unexcused absences. For each
absence after your allowance, 10 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.

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

XII. Student Resources
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.
