PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING NAMING CONVENTION
WHEN SAVING AND SUBMITTING COMPLETED ASSIGNMENT FILES:
lastnamefirstinitial.suffix
For example, for myself I would name my
first homework assignment file:
krosjhomework#1.doc
Be forewarned, I will either send your assignments back to you ungraded or downgrade your work if you do not follow this naming convention.
Homework will be assigned according to the tentative schedule presented. Please attempt every problem and feel free to ask me or your fellow students for assistance. However, all homework turned in must be your own work and missed assignments will receive a zero grade. Late homework will not be accepted.
The case study assignments on the area of materials management. You will receive more information on the content and format of the case studies early in the term.
Exams will cover material from the video lectures and my examples. The problems on the exams will be similar to the homework problems. Missed exams will receive a zero grade. Please make prior arrangements if the exam will be missed.
Final
grades will be assigned by letter and will be derived
approximately from the grading percentages shown above roughly
following the standard four point A, B, C, F scale.
Roughly the following grade cut-offs will be used: 3.51 and
above = A, 2.7 up to 3.51 = B, 1.7 up to 2.7 = C, 0.0 up to 1.7
= F.
Percentage scores will not be assigned. I will assign grades on individual assignments according to a +/- scale (A = 4.0, A-=3.7, B+=3.3, B = 3.0, B-=2.7, C+=2.3, C = 2.0, C-=1.7, F = 0.0).

PROCTOR POLICY
Many of the online courses you enroll in may require a
proctor. A proctor is someone who is approved to
administer examinations or other course material on behalf of
the course instructor. The purpose of the proctor is to
assure the integrity of the examination process. The
university academic integrity policy may be reviewed at
http://www.ecu.edu/studenthandbook/III.htm.
Attendance: I will not be taking attendance, but I will be holding recitation sessions throughout the semester. It would behoove everyone to view those recitation sessions.
Continuity of Instruction: In the event that face-to-face classes are suspended due to a pandemic or other catastrophe I will strive to continue instruction to those that are able to participate. If and when classes are suspended, you will receive an email from me and a Canvas Announcement that detail how we will communicate, where you can locate course information and what you can expect during this time period. I will continue to provide instruction to those that are able to continue.
The College
of Business requires that all students enrolled in a College of
Business course acquire and have available a laptop or mobile
computer for use in and out of the classroom environment. The
laptop or mobile computer must be capable of running Microsoft
Windows and the latest version of Microsoft Office. Faculty may
also require other specialized software applications. Additional
information may be found at www.business.ecu.edu.
Suggestions: To do well in this class the following hints might help.
