METHODOLOGY:
These course objectives will be pursued through the use of class and group discussion, case studies, videotapes, in-class exercises, a guest speaker and a group project with written and oral presentation components.
COURSE PROCEDURES:
1. Prior to every class, each student is expected to read the assigned chapter(s), articles and case studies. Students should come to class prepared to share their thoughts and views on the material.
2. If you must miss a class, it is your responsibility to get the notes from lecture, videos, cases, speakers, etc. from another student and/or have a student tape record the lecture.
3. All assignments must be typed and submitted at the beginning of class on the due date. Late work will not be accepted since cases will be analyzed in class. Assignments turned in late will receive a zero. If a student knows they will not be in class on a day a quiz will be taken or an assignment is due, it is the responsibility of the student to call the instructor prior to class and arrange to email or fax the homework to the instructor prior to class or by a mutually agreed upon time. For extreme illness and other emergency situations, students are required to obtain documentation from their College's Advising Office or a physician for submission to the Professor.
4. All assignments must be typed using double spacing and 11- or 12-point type. Points will be deducted for submissions that are handwritten. Multiple paged assignments must be paginated and stapled. Please do not use paperclips.
5. All assignments should be spell-checked and grammar checked prior to submission. Points will be deducted for spelling and grammar errors.
6. No make-up quizzes or assignments will be given. If students arrive late to class and miss a portion of the quiz, they will have to do the best they can in the time remaining.
7. Honor Code & Plagiarism: Students of the Johns Hopkins community are expected to conduct themselves honestly on all academic assignments. The students of this college have a collective and individual responsibility for the ethical welfare of themselves and their peers.
