VII. Grading
Criteria, Guidelines, and Assignments
I will give four
in-class term examinations. Each exam consists of 25 multiple-choice questions.
Examination material will be drawn from the textbook reading, any other
assigned readings, and class lectures and discussion. Emphasis will be placed
on the conceptual understanding of the material and NOT on memory alone.
Understanding the application of the concepts will greatly enhance your grade.
I use the
following standards for the exams:
1. All exams are administered in Canvas. I recommend that
you install the Canvas app for your portable devices as an alternative to using
your computer.
2. Canvas exams show only one question at a time so
students cannot copy the entire exam and email it to other students.
3. Exam questions and question answers are randomized so
if two students sit side-by-side they will not have the same exam.
4. Students cannot go back to change their prior answers
to minimize collaboration.
5. Exam duration is 30 minutes (1 minute per question
plus 5 minutes for technical delays).
6. I use synchronized testing to minimize sharing of
answers (all students must start the exam within 15 minutes). After 15 minutes,
I lock the students out and give take another exam with a 25% penalty.
7. Exams are
No make-up examination will be given without
the prior approval of the instructor. If you fail to take the exam, without
valid documentation, I will prepare a different exam which you will take at 75%
of its grade value.

Your grade is also affected by the
number of unexcused absences. You are allowed to have 5 unexcused absences. For
each absence after your allowance, 5 points will be deducted. Note that
absences are only excused for a valid reason (health problems, jury duty etc.)
and MUST be accompanied with documentation (i.e., health center note with a
phone number to call for questions) provided within a week of returning to
class.

Any queries or appeals for a graded
component (such as an assignment or an exam) must be directed to the instructor
in person within 2 weeks after the graded component is returned. No adjustment
will be made for the scores of graded components after the two-week period.
Students are responsible for keeping track of their graded components.
Uncollected graded components will be kept in the instructor’s office until the
end of the current semester.

X. Sacramento State Academic Honesty Policy and
Regulations excerpt “Definitions of Academic Dishonesty” http://www.csus.edu/umanual/student/STU-0100.htm
Cheating. At
Sacramento State, cheating is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain
credit for academic work through the use of any dishonest, deceptive, or
fraudulent means. Cheating at Sacramento State includes but is not limited to:
1.
Copying,
in part or in whole, from another’s test or other evaluation instrument.
2.
Using
crib notes, "cheat sheets," or any other device, including electronic
devices not permitted by the instructor as an aid in writing an examination.
3.
Submitting
work previously graded in another course unless doing so has been approved by
the course instructor or by department policy.
4.
Submitting
work simultaneously presented in more than one course, unless doing so has been
approved by the respective course instructors or by the department policies of
the respective departments.
5.
Altering
or interfering with grading or grading instructions.
6.
Sitting
for an examination by a surrogate, or as a surrogate.
7.
Any
other act committed by a student in the course of his or her academic work that
defrauds or misrepresents, including aiding or abetting in any of the actions
defined above.
Plagiarism. Plagiarism, as a form of
cheating, is the use of distinctive ideas or works belonging to another person
without providing adequate acknowledgement of that person’s contribution.
Regardless of the means of appropriation, incorporation of another’s work into
one’s own requires adequate identification and acknowledgement. Plagiarism is
doubly unethical because it deprives the author of rightful credit and gives
credit to someone who has not earned it. Acknowledgement is not necessary when
the material used is common knowledge. Plagiarism at Sacramento State includes
but is not limited to:
1. The act of incorporating into
one’s own work the ideas, words, sentences, paragraphs, or parts thereof, or
the specific substance of another’s work without giving appropriate credit
thereby representing the product as entirely one's own. Examples include not
only word-for-word copying, but also the "mosaic" (i.e.,
interspersing a few of one’s own words while, in essence, copying another’s
work), the paraphrase (i.e., rewriting another’s work while still using the
other’s fundamental idea or theory); fabrication (i.e., inventing or counterfeiting
sources), ghost-writing (i.e., submitting another’s work as one’s own) and
failure to include quotation marks on material that is otherwise acknowledged;
and
2. Representing as one’s own
another’s artistic or scholarly works such as musical compositions, computer
programs, photographs, paintings, drawing, sculptures, or similar works.

XIII. Other Information
Late
and Make-up Policy: The
general policy for this course is to require completion of assignments as
specified in the class schedule. All assignments are due at the
beginning of the class period. Late assignments may be submitted within a week
of the due date with a 20% penalty. No late assignments will be accepter after
1 week. All assignments will be submitted using Canvas (please do not
email your assignments). I will send you instructions on how to submit the
assignments before the due dates.
Incomplete: An incomplete grade (I) will
only be issued in accordance to College of Business Administration policy.
Among the conditions imposed by the instructor that must be met are: (1) a
current passing grade (70 percent or better), (2) the successful completion of
all prior assignments and exams, and (3) an unforeseen and unusual event beyond
your control which prevents you from completing the semester, and can be
documented and verified (employment-related events do not qualify). (4) An
incomplete will only be considered after it has been determined that a
withdrawal (W) cannot be issued. If you do not meet (1) through (4), you do not
qualify for an incomplete. As stipulated by the University, an incomplete
cannot be assigned when it is necessary for the student to attend additional
class meetings to complete the course requirements.
Unauthorized
Withdrawal (WU) indicates
that a student did not officially withdraw from the course but failed to
complete it. Among the conditions imposed by the instructor that must be met
are: (1) a passing grade (70 percent or better) at the time that the student
stopped attending classes, (2) attendance stopped before the 11th week of the
semester. If you do not meet (1) and (2), you do not qualify for an
unauthorized withdrawal (WU) grade and as a result you will be assigned a
failing (F) grade.
Laptop
and cell phone regulation: No
photographing, recording or text messaging is allowed without permission of the
instructor.
A disruptive student
is a student who engages in classroom behavior that interferes with the process
of teaching and learning. If a student is disruptive to my class, I will

behavior described in the DEALING WITH INCIDENTS OF DISRUPTIVE STUDENT
BEHAVIOR IN THE CLASSROOM document http://www.csus.edu/umanual/student/STU-0112.htm.
