VII. Grading Criteria, Guidelines, and Assignments
Course Grading
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.
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.
Final grades will be
assigned according to the total points you have obtained through exams and
homework assignments relative to the total possible number of points.

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, 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.
Pluses and minuses will
be awarded along the extremities (i.e., greater than 3% below the upper limit
and less than 3% of the lower limit, respectively).
Based on the total
points, your grades will be assigned as follows:
|
Percent |

|
90-100 |
A range |
|
80-89 |
B range |

D range |
|

Any queries or appeals
for a graded component (such as an assignment or an exam) must be directed to
the 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. Uncollected graded components will be kept in the instructor’s
office until the end of the current semester.
Grading system may
change for compelling reasons.

X. Sacramento State
Academic Honesty Policy and Regulations:
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

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.
