MY ADVICE Read your course syllabus!!! I have written it especially for you. Come to class on time. The syllabus course schedule has important dates & reminders. (let’s take a look)

PREPARING FOR CLASS Full version of the text is fine. The customized version is probably less expensive. Please note the customized text does NOT have chapter numbers

PREPARING FOR CLASS Buy the book if you have not already OR use on reserve in the library. You will need a book to PREPARE for almost every class meeting! There are NO GOOD EXCUSES for not having access to a book.

PREPARING FOR CLASS 1. Take a look at the course schedule (in syllabus) 2. Access course slides from course website. 3. Use a book to answer the questions on slides that have a question mark.

PREPARING FOR CLASS HOW TO FIND THE COURSE WEBSITE & ACCESS SLIDES COURSE WEBSITE: http: //misweb. cbi. msstate. edu/ ***We use MISWEB (NOT mycourses)***

Click button under “online grades” NOT course website

Select correct class AND section

PREPARING FOR CLASS Sample Questions from Power. Point Slides 1. What is a line employee? 2. What is a staff employee? 3. Which is more specific – a human resources strategy or a human resource tactic? A question mark in the bottom corner of a slide indicates you need to look up the answer in your book; I will call on you during class so be prepared!!!

PREPARING FOR CLASS My thoughts on how to be organized… 1. Get a binder. 2. Print out slides in notes page view 3. 4. *Only 1 slide per page with room to take notes*

PREPARING FOR CLASS My thoughts on learning strategies… 1. Answer questions BEFORE class. 2. During class, take notes in a different COLOR.

Just a thought: Print slides in Notes View 1. Write your answers below slide in one color 2. Take notes during class in another color

MAKING THE GRADE Course Activities Set goals for your course grade and each exam. 3 Exams* (135 points each) = 405 Class participation = 15 Total points = 420 *Final exam will replace lowest grade if you take all exams.

MAKING THE GRADE Grade Determination Scale 90 % and above = A (378 to 420 points) 80% to 89. 99% = B (336 to 377 points) 70% to 79. 99% = C (294 to 335 points) 60% to 69. 99% = D (252 to 293 points) 0 to 59. 99% = F (0 to 251 points)

MAKING THE GRADE My goal = fairness Grades are based on your individual performance rather than effort, personality, potential, or need. No student’s final grade will be increased for any reason other than calculation error. Please do not ask for extra credit or a higher grade at the END of the semester.

MAKE-UP EXAMS & FINAL EXAM My advice is to take ALL exams. Comprehensive final exam is optional unless you have missed an exam. Let’s discuss the final exam time. * * Final exam time is based on MSU’s exam schedule.

PARTICIPATION & PROFESSIONALISM You will be given participation 15 points at the beginning of the semester. Participation will be evaluated each time the class meets. Class participation & professionalism= registering for MISWEB + giving correct answers to assigned discussion questions on slides + participating in class activities + course assignment

PARTICIPATION & PROFESSIONALISM Missing one class period may result in losing several participation points. Each student will receive 1 “free pass” for a participation activity. The free pass will not be reflected in your grade until the END of the semester. Each time you miss an activity, participation question, or homework assignment, 1 point will be deducted from your grade. Participation grades will be updated on MISWEB periodically (after each exam).

PARTICIPATION & PROFESSIONALISM HOW TO SEND AN E-MAIL

Put your course, section, & name in subject line Be sure to sign your name!

YOUR CONTACT INFO When you register for MISWEB, please update your contact info to include an e-mail address that you use. I will contact you with course announcements via e-mail!

ATTENDING CLASS LATE = ABSENT Plan ahead for…traffic, lack of parking, bad weather, and other reasons that are not on the University’s list of approved reasons to miss class.

ATTENDING CLASS Attendance is reported to the University. If you have an excused absence, please complete the absence form at the end of the syllabus. Forms are also available on the course website.
