Open Door Policy

Since your learning is my primary concern, it is imperative that anything preventing you from learning be discussed.  Please feel free to make an appointment with me or call me so that I can help you keep on track.

 

 

 

 

Class Policy on Attendance:

Attendance in class is an important priority.  Your class participation grade will be affected by attendance.  If you are not here, you are not participating.  

 

Class Policy For Assignments:

Students are expected to have read the chapter prior to the lecture.  Each chapter will be explained and discussed.  Penalties may be assigned for late assignment submittals.

 

Student Responsibilities:

It is expected that all students will be present on test days.  If unavoidable circumstances prevent attendance, the test can be made up at the instructor’s discretion.  It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor to make arrangements to make up the exam. 

 

All students no matter what their educational background, life/work experiences, have something to offer that will enrich our class.  As instructors, we not only encourage participation, but also rely on it.  As students, you should demand it, not only of yourselves, but also of your classmates.  Our class is only as good as we make it.

 

Classroom Behavior

The student is expected to treat the instructor and his/her fellow students with respect and courtesy at all times.  This means giving full attention.  No private conversations, no catching up on homework assignments, no naps.  Such items can and will affect your participation grade.

 

Learning Outcomes/ Competencies:

Students in this course will:

1.      Understand the role of marketing in a free enterprise economy.

2.      Develop an understanding of marketing terms, institutions and concepts.

3.      Develop the ability to make the marketing decisions a manager must make to satisfy customers by satisfying their needs.

4.      Identify and explain, and then apply the important marketing concepts in case situations.

5.      Apply marketing concepts cumulatively; the student will develop an ability to confidently and meaningfully analyze marketing case problems--providing a solid foundation for subsequent case analysis.

6.      Apply the concept of the “marketing Code of Ethics” to management decision making.

Withdrawal from Classes Policy:

After the last day for class changes has passed (see College calendar), students may withdraw from a course in which they are registered with permission from the faculty member conducting the course. A written request detailing the reason(s) for the withdrawal must be filed with the Registrar. Written request for withdrawal must be received by the Registrar by the last day of classes prior to the final examination dates specified in the catalogue. Written requests may be mailed to the Registrar or faxed to the College fax number 219-473-4259. Students are to make note of the refund schedule when withdrawing from courses. The request is forwarded to the faculty member, who makes the final determination to accept or deny the request. If the request is honored, the student will receive notification of official withdrawal; if denied, the notification will indicate why the withdrawal is disallowed.

 

An official withdrawal is recorded as a "W" grade on the student's transcript. Dropping a course without written permission automatically incurs an "F" grade for the course (see Refund Schedule).
