Participation Grading - Fall 2017



Grades have now been posted for the “Active Class Participation” part of your course grade. Here’s the formula I used for determining your participation grade – there were two “free” absences (one week’s worth of classes). Then, they counted….so, based on your number of absences during the semester, the following table shows your grade for in-class participation for the class:

From the syllabus:

ACTIVE CLASS PARTICIPATION

...First and foremost however, you must be hereto earn your participation grade. You should also be an active participant in class discussions and attentive and respectful at all times (especially to your fellow students in discussions and other interactions). Also, while I’m a techie myself, please try and keep “tech disruptions” to a minimum. While I strongly encourage you to bring a tablet and/or laptop to class, both to use the many e-resources available to you and to work with the class and/or small groups as we explore strategic management concepts through the strategy session briefings, please be tech-smart and considerate to your fellow classmates in how you use your technology. Finally, be on time as much as possible (better to go get a cup of coffee than to come in 20-25 minutes late....).

To succeed in the class - and to take away the most possible from it - I cannot overstate the importance of your regular and attentive class attendance. I hope that you will be an active participant in the activities planned for you each day in the course and to earn the most possible points in this important area. 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
For those that took advantage of this grade, I congratulate you for your diligence. For those however that failed to take advantage of this opportunity for earning your grade (and learning more by being in-class), please be advised that this was spelled-out to you at the beginning of class (both in-class and in the course syllabus as shown above) and repeatedly discussed throughout the semester. 

If you have any questions or concerns over your participation grade, please see me.

ACADEMIC ADVISING APPOINTMENTS FOR SPRING 2018 SEMESTER



Advising for the Spring 2018 Semester will be held between Monday, October 30th and end on Friday, November 10th. In accordance with policies of both the College of Business and the Department of Management and Business Administration, you must schedule an appointment to be advised in-person during this time for the upcoming semester in order to register.


I look forward to meeting with you for this purpose, and to make this work well for all of my advisees, please see the instructions below.


PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:


  • To facilitate your advising, Dr. Wyld has provided office hours far above his normal level to accommodate your schedule for this College of Business mandatory advising session by providing a total of 82 30-minute sessions during the official advising period between Monday, October 30th and end on Friday, November 10th.
  • To make your official advising appointment, please post your selections (first and second choice) as a comment on this blog posting.
  • In posting your comment to claim your advising time preferences, please clearly and carefully give your name and W number and then indicate the specific time slot (date and time) you want for your mandatory advising session. Appointment times are on a first come, first served basis. Please also provide your second appointment time choice. Please carefully review the available advising times and do not claim as a first choice a time slot previously claimed by another advisee. Dr. Wyld will update these tables on a nightly basis leading up to - and during - the two-week official advising period.

  • Please do note that most advising sessions require a full 30 minutes, so do plan accordingly when selecting a date/time for our College of Business-mandated meeting. Please do not try and simply “squeeze in” your advising session in the 15 minute break between classes, as this will not be enough time to accomplish what needs to be done during an advising session. If you miss your scheduled advising appointment (or are more than 10 minutes late for your appointment time), you will need to pick a slot from those remaining after your missed appointment date/time.
  • Please follow the instructions in the advising announcement posted in Moodle and emailed to you on October 25th on preparing for your mandatory advising session, including:
  1. printing an unofficial copy of my transcript off Leonet;
  2. obtaining a copy of and reviewing my curriculum sheet prior to my advising appointment;
  3. reviewing the online schedule of classes and making a schedule that meets both your academic and personal needs;
  4. preparing a proposed schedule on the official Student Advising Form; and
  5. bringing the unofficial copy of your transcript, your curriculum sheet, and Student Advising Form(s) to the advising session.
All five tasks must be done prior to your selected advising time to ensure a productive and successful advising session. If not, then you will have to reschedule for a time slot later in the two-week mandatory advising window for the Spring 2018 Semester.


Thanks for your cooperation - look forward to seeing you!


David
