Text:	Management (2010. 9th Ed) by R. Daft Hard Back ISBN: 978-0-324-59584-0 eTextbook: order at www.coursesmart.com (@ $92) Practice quizzes & other study aides at www.cengage.com/managemetn/daft and MyCourses.

Course Overview:

In order for an organization to survive, managers must effectively and efficiently address various complex issues. For example, today's leaders must manage such organizational factors as a multi-cultural workforce within the context of a dynamic external environment. This external environment includes competitors, customers, legislation, rapidly changing technology, and expectations of society and employees. Managers are challenged with the need to identify, discard, and replace inadequate managerial practices. Moreover, managers must adopt (or keep) practices that enable their organizations to be successful in achieving their missions. In this course, we will discuss a variety of issues managers are addressing in today's organizations.

Course Objectives: Upon completion of our course, you should be able to:

• explain and apply the terminology and principles involved in the management functions: planning,organizing, leading, and controlling.
• analyze and describe how to be an effective manager in various organizational situations.

College/Department Policy addressing the NC Notation (This statement is provided by MSU Denver.)

1. The NC notation shall be available to students in all instances through the tenth (10^th) week of classes for Spring semester. (Deadline is April 5, 2010.)

2. Students are responsible for logging on to ConnectU and indicating an NC for the appropriate courses.

3. Under no circumstances can an NC request be processed after the end of the 10^th week of a 16-week semester (submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 5, 2010).

4. Proportional time frames are applied for modular courses, weekend courses, workshops,& summer terms.

Students can still apply for a tuition refund using the Tuition and Fees Appeal Form if an NC is necessary due to extenuating circumstances such as illness, death in the family, or employment changes beyond their control.

This new policy is included in the online College Catalog in the Academic Policies and Procedures section: http://catalog.msudenver.edu/content.php?catoid=2&navoid=62.

"I" (Incomplete) Grade

An "I" grade is given when a course has been substantially completed with a passing grade but you have been unable to finish through no fault of your own. Check with me or the MSU Denver Catalog if you have questions.

Class Preparation (FYI: Bring your textbook to every class. Contact me if you have the e-textbook)

Education experts recommend students spend a minimum of two (2) hours studying outside of class for every hour in class. For our class, you should commit to an average of four (4) hours of preparation for each week of class. Many of us need more than the minimum recommended to adequately prepare and internalize the reading and other assignments.

As you should expect, I conduct class assuming that you have read all assignments. If you are adequately prepared for class, our discussions will make more sense and you should perform better on class activities. Use the following information to plan your time and grade expectations.

1. Review the concepts addressed in the previous chapter. We'll review main concepts (either verbally or via practice quizzes) before starting a new chapter. For the new chapter assigned for that day/week, review all LOs listed in the Study Guide (linked to Files in MyCourses). Keep the LOs in mind while reading.

2. Read the questions or exercise requirements associated with the "Other Assignments" and use them to guide your reading and answers to the assigned "Other Assignments."

3. After reading all the assignments, prepare to earn maximum points through participating in class discussions and during our in-class group work. Because our discussions address all LOs, questions, and "Other Assignments," you will be able to plan what you will say during each week.

4. Bring your textbook to every class. (Contact me if you are using e-book.)

Exams and/or Combination of Journals & Exams (340 points)

Research reveals we learn better when learning is "guided" and applied. Our textbook author designed his Learning Objectives (LOs) for these purposes. All of our activities, quizzes, and exams focus on these LOs.

Exams

Everyone takes the first and fourth exams. The first exam is take home. For exams 2 and 3, you may elect to answer the in-class exam questions for all assigned chapters OR turn in your personal journal entries for two assigned chapters and take the in-class exam on the remaining chapters. This journal/exam option is described below.

All in-class exams are taken during the class noted on our course schedule. The exams address the relevant chapter LOs and class information noted on the study guides linked to Files (MyCourses).

NOTE: Only one in-class exam may be made up as a regular exam. To be eligible to make up an exam, you must contact me before missing an exam. Any make up exam is administered within the two-week period following the exam or during our final exam time. Contact me to schedule the make up exam. If a second make up exam is needed, the optional comprehensive exam (Exam 5) serves as that make up and is administered during our final exam time. There is no make up for more than two exams.

Improving One In-Class Exam Score

At the end of the semester, you may try to improve one in-class exam score through the optional, comprehensive Exam 5 (a.k.a. Final exam). Only one in-class exam score may be improved upon. (All exams &/or journals must have recorded scores for you to replace an in-class exam.)

During the optional final exam, you may refer to four 2-sided pages of notes but not to the text. As you can expect, one needs to study to do well on this comprehensive exam. This exam also is the make up exam if a second in-class exam is missed. The score for Exam 5 only replaces your lowest exam score if it is higher.

Exam Option: Combination of Journaling and In-Class Exam Questions

Everyone takes the first and fourth exams. For exams two and/or three, you may choose to write journals on two (2) of the chapters and answer a smaller set of exam questions on the other chapters.

There is NO make up for journals and NO credit is earned for late journals. More information is provided through the Journal Instructions found on Files (MyCourses).

Individual Written Assignments & Capstone Discussions (84 points)

Our written assignments are designed to help you apply and internalize our course material. The main goals of these assignments are for you to: 1) set goals to guide your learning, 2) gain insight into your attitudes and abilities, and 3) see how MGT 3000 concepts interact with and build on each other in an organization.

E-mail Assignments (6 points = 2 + 4 points) Late goal e-mails lose � point per week late.

• •The first assignment (2 points) is due by 9:00 PM January 31. In this e-mail, you will state which 4-6 MGT 3000 topics you may find interesting. (Do NOT e-mail goals for your grade in our course. Most students strive for an "A" and grades do not qualify as MGT 3000 topics.)

• •In your follow-up e-mail (4 points), you'll briefly discuss how well you accomplished at least three (3) of your course (topic) goals. The follow up e-mail is due by 9 PM April 10, 2010.

• •I also encourage you to e-mail during the semester. E-mail is a great way to ask me questions, comment on topics and methods, and turn in assignments (when copied into body of e-mail), etc.

Comprehensive Paper and Capstone Discussions on May 6 (78 points)

The Comprehensive Paper (worth 70 points) is due May 6, 2010. On that day, we end the semester by discussing how MGT 3000 concepts are illustrated in managerial situations and videos. Special arrangements are needed to make up the 8 points earned during our last day of class. For more information, refer to the Comprehensive Paper instructions linked to Files (MyCourses).

Advice regarding Assignments

• I suggest that you keep copies of all assignments that you submit.

• You also may want to change the default on your e-mail so that it keeps all sent e-mails and/or carbon copy (cc) yourself on e-mails sent to me. This way, you'll be able to prove that e-mails were sent in a timely manner if I don't receive your e-mailed assignment.

• I try to respond to each e-mail within 24 hours. If you have not heard back from me in 24 hours, please ask me if I received something you've sent.

• Be forewarned that I am tech savvy and have access to MSU Denver's IT resources if needed.

Attendance, In-class Activities, and Participation (76 points = 20 + 28 + 28 points)

Research shows that you learn and retain more if you are actively involved. Our activities are designed to get you involved. Moreover, organizations value excellent interpersonal, communication, and "team" skills. Your contributions affect your personal success in our class and your organization(s). To help you become a better team participant and to apply our concepts, our course also includes in-class group activities.

Attendance (20 points) (FYI: It is better to be late to class than to miss class.)

You earn 20 points for perfect attendance or making up absences. Because of our multi-tasking lives, no attendance points are lost for the first missed class. (FYI: an absence occurs if 30 or more minutes of a class are missed.) Any group work done during your first (free) absence receives 1 point.

Three (3) attendance points are deducted for each additional absence. Your classroom behavior also can affect your attendance grade. (Refer to the section regarding Classroom Behavior.) Attendance and group points may only be earned by attending your official section of MGT 3000 or making up an absence(refer to "Making up Class").

Individual Participation (28 points)

Participation may be turned in during class or e-mailed by 9 PM Saturday after the relevant class. Participation refers to what is said out of our group meetings.

You earn up to 2 points per week (28 points maximum) by explaining group answers to entire class, answering in-class questions when called upon or volunteering, providing pertinent comments, mentioning MGT-related news events, writing out your opinion and/or experience on our topics. etc.

To earn credit, your participation must address your opinions, experiences, conclusions, "take-aways," speculations, etc. related to at least two topics of the day/week. Sharing a group answer during our whole-class discussions also counts as your personal contribution.

No credit will be earned if you only list the topics and/or process of that day and/or week..

In regard to your class participation (verbal and/or written), I'll pay attention to the following:

• Do your comments & answers indicate that you read the chapter & assignments before class?
• Are you asking and/or answering questions about our chapter topics during class?
• Are you sharing ideas/experiences that contribute to the understanding of MGT 3000 concepts?
• Do your comments build on those made by others and/or offer a different perspective?
• During our whole-class discussions, do you state and explain an idea and/or conclusion from your group discussion?

In-class Group Work and Sharing your Group's responses (28 points)

Group points are earned through your active participation during in-class group activities and the quality of your group's response(s). The quality of group answers is scored using the following tentative scoring guide. The scoring is designed to reward groups who prepared the assignments before class. Contact me if you might have difficulty working with groups. (Note: I only score group work that has been written during class time by a group.)

Quality of Group Responses	Guide to Performance Standards for In-class Group Work and Reporting out to class	Approximate Scoring
Excellent	Correctly & completely answer all of the group's question(s) applying assigned the chapter & case.	1.80
Very Good	Correctly & completely answer most of the group's question(s) applying assigned the chapter & case.	1.20
Good	Inadequate and/or incorrect answers to many of the group's question(s)	0.60
OK	None of the group's responses appears to address the assigned questions using chapter or case information.	0.05
NOTE: Participation includes what you said (or thought) during our entire class discussions. Participation does NOT include what you say during group work. That is reflected in your group work score.

Making up Class [One "free" absence; all other class days and participation may be made-up)

• Regardless of whether you are present or absent, participation points may be earned by e-mailing me (by 9 PM Saturday) quality observations that relate to the topics of that week. These comments must be different from your journal entries if you are journaling.

• As noted above, you have one (free) absence. This means you won't lose attendance points for a first absence and you'll receive partial credit for group work (1 point if relevant).

• The make up assignment involves e-mailing me answers to Questions #1 and #2 of the Discussion Questions [found at end of relevant chapter(s) assigned for that day]. Making up a second absence for an assigned chapter involves e-mailing me answers to Questions #3 and #4.

• While I encourage you to make up missed classes prior to exams, all make-up assignments must be e-mailed to me by our official final exam day. No make up work will earn credit after this date.

• Recognize that our exams and optional journals will emphasize information addressed in class. I do NOT repeat lectures. If you miss a class, be sure to obtain notes and materials from classmates. You do NOT need to contact me prior to missing a class.

Weather-related Absences (for make up): (AHEC's inclement weather line: 303-556-2401)

Living in Colorado means living with extreme weather. Although AHEC and MSU Denver are good about closing during potentially dangerous weather, YOU are responsible for your own safety. Please make decisions that ensure your safety and the safety of others.

Late Arrival to Class

I encourage you to attend every class and all 75 minutes of class. If you arrive after class has started, please be considerate and minimize class disruption. Before entering classroom, take off your coat (& other outer gear) and remove note-taking materials, etc. from your bag.

Classroom Behavior (FYI: It is better to be late than to interrupt class by leaving/returning.)

I expect you to stay in our classroom once we've started class. Leaving class (while in session) interrupts your learning and is disrespectful to your classmates and me. Therefore, take care of personal business (bathrooming, etc.) before or after we meet as a class. Leaving and returning to class while class is in session will adversely affect your attendance score. FYI: It is better to be late to class than to miss any part of class.

The following guidelines identify what is unacceptable classroom behavior. If you engage in disruptive activities (such as those listed below), I will ask you to accomplish your needs more effectively elsewhere and you will lose your attendance points for that day.

• You are NOT to access wi-fi for non-course related purposes. If you access our e-text and/or PowerPoint slides during class, be aware that I'll periodically check your computer.

• Before the start of class, turn off your cell phone, pager and other non-class-related computer devices or put them on a silent mode. They are to be put out of sight (e.g., in your bag, under the desk, etc.) and NOT accessed during class. Exceptions are made if you need access due to work, a potential emergency, etc. Please inform me of an exception before class starts.

• Disruptive behaviors include engaging in extended side conversations with other students while others and/or I are talking with the class. This is disrespectful to those sitting around you and to me. Furthermore, students tell me that such conversations prevent them from hearing what is said to the class.

• You also are not to try to catch up on sleep, read, or prepare for other classes during our class.

Belligerent or other dysfunctional behaviors/attitude will negate your attendance points and may cause you to be dropped from the course. Such behaviors/attitudes are disruptive and prevent us from learning in a supportive environment. (One reminder or warning will be given. That reminder will inform you that you will lose points and/or be dropped from the class if similar behavior continues.) Points lost due to poor classroom behavior may not be made up.

Religious Holidays (for make up)

If you must miss class to observe a religious holiday, notify me in writing by February 12. Our make up policies also apply to absences for religious reasons. For example the first absence in our class is "free."

Special Needs

MSU Denver is committed to making reasonable accommodations to assist individuals with disabilities in reaching their academic potential. If you have a disability which may impact your performance, attendance, or grades in this class and are requesting reasonable accommodation, you must first register with the Access Center. The Access Center is located in the Auraria Library (Suite 116; phone: 303-556-8387). Failure to notify the Access Center promptly of the need for reasonable accommodation may hinder the university's ability to assist you in successfully completing this course.

The Access Center is the designated department responsible for coordinating accommodations and services for students with disabilities. Accommodations will be granted after my receipt of your faculty notification letter from the Access Center. Once I have received the official Access Center letter, I will be happy to meet with you to discuss your accommodations. All discussions will remain confidential. Further information is available by visiting the Access Center website www.msudenver.edu/access. It is your responsibility to assure that AccessCenter documentation for reasonable accommodation is provided to me in a timely manner. The Access Center is the sole authority that may authorize reasonable accommodations.

Policies and Ethical Standards

We'll follow MSU Denver's policies (as stated in the Academic Policy Manual) for withdrawals, no credit, student conduct, personal challenges, etc. Furthermore, I expect all of us to adhere to the highest ethical standards. Anyone who chooses to act in an unethical or dishonest manner (e.g., copying part of another's paper, using unauthorized materials during an exam, etc.) will receive a grade of zero for that assignment with NO chance to try again. Furthermore, such behaviors (e.g., plagiarism) may result in your going through the College Judicial system and receiving a permanent F in the course. Academic dishonesty is a serious offense for many reasons including diminishing the quality of scholarship and learning experience for everyone on campus. Refer to MSU Denver's Student Handbook or ask me for details.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

While attending MSU Denver (at any of our campuses), you assume certain obligations of performance and behavior. Based on this premise, reasonable policies, procedures and regulations exist to guarantee each student's opportunity to learn and protect the fundamental rights of others. As members of an academic community, you are expected to conduct yourself in a mature and responsible manner. In cases of a student disrupting class, the instructor has authority to remove that student. Additional information concerning relevant policies are found in the College Catalogue and Student Handbook.

Your Rights to a Harassment-free Environment

You have the right to an environment free of harassment and discrimination. Contact me, another MSU Denver professor, MSU Denver administrator, and/or MSU Denver's Affirmative Action Officer if you believe a student, faculty member, administrator, or anyone contracted by AHEC is harassing or discriminating against you.

Note: You need to tell people if you are uncomfortable with their comments, jokes, physical contact, etc. This can be communicated through spoken or written means. Generally, a person must be informed before a continuation of the offensive actions/comments/etc. can be judged under the category of "harassment."

Techniques

We all have preferred learning styles--ways in which we learn best. To accommodate everybody's preferred learning styles (e.g., visual, auditory, tactile), we employ a variety of methods. In order to learn, it also is important for you to relate new material to your and other people's experiences. I encourage you to share your organizational experiences with us, ask questions, and/or comment on what you see, hear, and learn.

Handouts

In our course, you will receive many handouts designed to help you better understand the material and/or introduce new material or cases. I suggest that you use a 3-ring notebook to organize the handouts so that you have easy access while preparing to answer our group work, exam, and case questions and/or writing your journal entries. Return to me any copies you do not want.
