· Develop an appreciation for the viewpoint of using planning to increase productivity.
University ADA Statement:
Any student who believes s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of a documented disability should first contact a Coordinator in the Office of Disability Services, Student Success Center, Massie Hall, 740-351-3276 to schedule a meeting to identify potential reasonable accommodation(s) . Students are strongly encouraged to initiate the accommodation process in the early part of the semester or as soon as the need is recognized. After meeting with the Coordinator, students are then required to meet with their instructors to discuss the student’s specific needs related to their disability. If a student does not make a timely request for disability accommodations and/or fails to meet with the Coordinator of Disability Services and the instructor, a reasonable accommodation might not be able to be provided.

Evaluation:
A letter grade will be determined by the
total points accumulated by the end of the semester and divided by the total
points possible.
Tests 100
pts/each
Project 300
pts (written paper and presentation)
Final Exam 100
pts plus the exam score will replace the lowest
score/s made during the semester
Attendance 0
– 4 pts
All projects must be turned in when requested
(due date will be given when assignment is made).
When a test is given to a student, that
student is expected to write their class number that I assign at the beginning
of the semester on their test in the space provided and to write their class
section number in the space provided as well.
Students failing to follow these simple instructions will have a grade
penalty for that test. If you should
forget your class number or class section number, please ask and I will provide
it to you to write on the test before submitting your test for grading.
You are required to do your own work on all tests and
assignments. Any form of cheating may result in a grade penalty or the student
being withdrawn from the course as well as dismissal from the University. See
page 37 of the Shawnee State University catalog.
Student Project
Students will write a paper (10 page min) concerning PERT and the probabilities of completing a project in a given time frame which will contain the following parts:
1) Description of their problem
2) Solution to their problem
3) Brief history of the method employed to solve the problem
4) List of references
The student project will be submitted as attachments emailed to the instructor – Paper in word document form and Presentation in PowerPoint form.
Students will be expected to present their projects to the class using PowerPoint.
All students will be expected to attend the classes during presentations; an unexcused absence during this time frame will result in a letter grade off their project.
Make-Up Tests:
For students wishing to makeup a test missed or raise their score on a test taken, a test over the respective material will be given during the final exam period. The highest score will be recorded.
Grading Scale: 90 – 100 A
80 – 89 B
70 – 79 C
60 – 69 D
Below 60 F
Any student having
difficulties or questions is encouraged to contact the instructor during office
hours or by appointment.
Attendance is taken at each class meeting.
The number of times you are present is divided by the number of class meetings in the semester giving you a percentage of time present.
90 – 100 % counts as 4 points
80 – 89 % counts as 3 points
70 – 79% counts as 2 points
60 - 69% counts as 1 point
A
student that behaves in an unprofessional manner, that demonstrates a lack of
respect for others, and wishes to demonstrate dysfunctional classroom
participation making the class less effective and degrading the learning
experience may be required to leave the classroom…see Classroom Policies for
more details. These behaviors decrease classroom effectiveness and
degrade the learning experience.
Students are expected to be on time to class; those students that fail
to be in their seats at the time roll is taken will not be counted present.
Simply, you are
expected to treat your colleagues (both the professor and fellow students) with
courtesy and respect.
Class discussions and assignments.
N/A
I will retain all student work submitted for grading for two weeks after the end of the quarter, at which time I will put the material through a paper shredder.
The instructor reserves the right to modify the syllabus without advance notice.
