Schedule changes will be emailed and announced in class. Out of fairness to those students who prepare for and take exams during scheduled exam times, makeup exams will be given only with legitimate reason, by individual arrangement, during the last week of classes. Individual/Small Group Project: Applying principles from international marketing, students will complete a project individually or in smail groups. Further information will be given as a separate handout. Homework & Classroom Activities: In addition to the homework assignments listed on the syllabus, the instructor may periodically give in-class assignments or impromptu homework to further the understanding, and synthesis of the course material, Emailed homework will not be accepted. The grade on homework submitted late will be reduced by 20% for each day that it is late. ‘This includes homework submitted later than class time on the same day that it is due, If students know in advance that they will be unable to attend a class for which there is homework due, either they should submit homework before the due date or make other arrangements for turning the work in (ic. via a classmate). Lack of student preparation for class may result in pop quizzes at the discretion of the instructor. Attendance: It is the responsibility of the student to attend every class, on time, having completed homework assignments and having read the chapters and other readings as assigned, Excessive absences will adversely affect the student's grade. Students are responsible for all work missed. All students not present for any in-class assignments will receive a grade of "0" unless otherwise excused by the instructor. Class time is an important component of this course; therefore, absences will be excused only in unavoidable circumstances (je. medical, personal or family emergency or participation in sanctioned college activities). In following Muskingum’s policy, students are responsible for contacting the instructor in order to make arrangements to complete missed work due to an “excused” absence. Students who will be absent from a course meeting due to a sanctioned college activity, must give verification to the instructor at least ‘one week in advance in order to be able to make up the missed work. Participation: Participation in class discussions is always welcome and will be assessed and included in the student's final grade, The instructor will call on various students periodically during class. Attending class prepared will prevent much personal embarrassment and will create a favorable impression with me. ‘Volunteering relevant comments about course-related topics, and asking relevant questions about course material, may enhance your participation evaluation ~ so will behavior in class that is mature, polite, and considerate both of your professor and of other students. This includes setting your cell phone to silent and (putting it away. Obviously, this also includes not texting, accessing the Internet, or using your cell phone in any other way during class! Disruptive students will be asked to leave immediately. ‘Special Ast yodatio Muskingum College has a variety of services available to help students who require additional support in their studies and research.
