Course Methodology

On-ground courses at UoNA are supplemented with online activities using the Moodle platform allowing students to maximize in-person time in the classroom and support collaborative activities that take place remotely. Academic terms are scheduled to include ten on-ground sessions. In the last week of class, students present course projects to their faculty members and colleagues

Homework

Homework assignments will be posted in the Moodle and must be submitted via the Moodle dropbox by the due date. Assignments submitted via email will not be accepted, unless previous permission is obtained from the instructor. Late assignments will receive a penalty as indicated above.

Course Project

A group project on a course-related topic must be presented to the class during the last class session. Students may self-organize into groups of 2-6, depending on class size. Group composition must be submitted to the instructor by the end of the third class session. The project topic must be approved by the instructor by the end of the fourth class session. More guidance will be provided at the first class session. Groups may use any presentation methodology; however, the use of meaningful audio-visual aids is highly encouraged. All group members must participate in the presentation and all group members will receive identical grades. All major components of the project must be submitted to the instruction in Moodle for archival purposes.

Reflection Paper

You are required to write a reflection paper that summarizes your experience in MGMT 515. Consider what you have learned, how or if any learning can be applied to you current job, your thoughts on the teaching methodology used in the class, and any recommendations for improving the course. This is an opportunity to express you honest thoughts. You will not be penalized for disagreeing with the professor or the teaching materials; in fact, a well defended opposing opinion will receive a higher score. This paper may be any length, but at least 1000 words and constitutes 5% of your total grade.

Academic Integrity

Plagiarism is a violation of the integrity of the academic community. Intentionally representing someone else’s work as one’s own or using another’s ideas in a written paper or presentation without appropriate citations and references may result in a score of zero for the assignment or dismissal for repeated offenses. Plagiarism is:

· Quoting directly or paraphrasing the work of others without acknowledging the source;

· Copying text from ebooks or Web pages without citing the source;

· Constructing a paraphrase that closely resembles the original in language and syntax without acknowledging the source; and

· Submitting an assignment in a course which was previously submitted for a grade in another course.
