Course Syllabus
- Class meetings and Office information.
This class meets in BSA 206, Monday nights, 6:15 to 8:45 p.m. The link to Weekly Responsibility
shows class activity and assignments for each week. My office is also in
the business building, A432, fourth floor of the new wing. E-mail is jweinrot@bsa3.kent.edu and phone
is 330 672-1141. If I am not able to answer your call leave a message. My
office hours are 4:00 to 6:00 and 8:45 to 9:30 p.m. on Monday and other
times by appointment. For
individual appointments with me, please contact the department secretary,
Mrs. Pam Silliman, at 672-1140, or her assistant Marquesa Arent, at
672-1142.
- STUDENTS
WITH DISABILITIES: In accordance with University policy, if you have a documented
disability and require accommodations to obtain equal access in
this course, please contact the instructor at the beginning of the
semester or when given an assignment for which an accommodation is
required. Students with disabilities must verify their eligibility through
the Office of Student Disability Services (SDS) in the Michael Schwartz
Student Service Center (181 MSC) (672-3391).
- ENROLLMENT: It is the student's
responsibility to ensure proper enrollment in classes. You are advised to
review your official class schedule during the first two weeks of the
semester to ensure proper enrollment. Should you determine an error in
your class schedule, you have two weeks from the beginning of the semester
to correct it with your advising office. If registration errors are not
corrected by this date and you continue to attend and participate in
classes for which you are not officially enrolled, you are advised that
you will not receive a grade at the conclusion of the semester.
- Last day to drop an individual class. November 2 is the last
date to drop an individual class without special permission. If you stop
attending a class without officially dropping, the probable result will be
a grade of F.
- Cheating -- any form of
copying another student's work and submitting it as your own will result
in one or more of the consequences specified in the university regulations,
for all students responsible for the incident. Obviously where students are given a
team assignment the two or more persons both attach their names to the
work.

(7). Academic complaints. University
regulations, some of which are reprinted in your copy of the KSU telephone
directory, govern many aspects of our classes, including academic complaints. Since
as your instructor I also happen to be the chairman of my department, if you
have a complaint of unfair treatment in this class with respect to your grade,
your first obligation is to talk with your instructor, that is, me. If we
cannot resolve the issue, then I will get the Dean's office to have a
chairperson of another department function as the chair to whom you can take
your complaint for a possible grievance hearing.
