● Include your class and section number (e.g., MGMT 4710) in the subject of EVERY email you send to Dr. Brady.

CLASS ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION

Absences: Attendance is an important part of this course and will be taken each day at the start of class. If students miss too
many classes (approximately 20%), then the course objectives for the student cannot be adequately met. At that point, it is in
the best interest of the student to withdraw from the course. During the course of the semester, points will be awarded for
participation in class discussion and experiential exercises. These points cannot be made up as they are dependent upon
student-to-student interaction and discussion.

Withdrawal: Students wishing to withdraw from the course should recognize that it is their responsibility to do so before the
last day of withdrawal (see Academic Calendar for this date). Students who simply stop attending class will not be withdrawn by
the instructor but will instead receive a grade reflecting their level of achievement in the course. If a student chooses to
withdraw from a class and they are receiving financial aid, they should notify the instructor as soon as possible. Financial aid
does not stop until the student has officially withdrawn from the course and the instructor has recorded the last date of class
attended.

POLICIES

Penalties: The instructor reserves the right to deduct points or to give zero points for missed exams, late assignments,
plagiarism, and inappropriate classroom behavior on the part of students.
