Course Objectives

It is presumed students will spend a minimum of 2 hours outside study for each hour in class in order to meet the following objectives. The student will be able to: Understand the theoretical principals of leadership and motivation, communication, problem solving and decision making, and labor-management partnerships.

Attendance Policy

Students are expected to attend all class sessions and to arrive on time. If you are unable to attend a class you are responsible for all material covered in that class. Attendance is taken at each class. “Students may be terminated from the class by the instructor for excessive absence.” (Triton College 2004)

If a student misses an exam or a quiz, the student will not be allowed to complete a make-up unless the student has an excused absence.

Grading will NOT be done “on a curve.” All quizzes, exams and final examination will be closed book, closed note tests of knowledge. All material either in the textbook or discussed in class may be appear on any quiz or examination. Daily quizzes may be given prior to the lecture. Therefore, it is essential that students review the assigned material before coming to class.

At the discretion of the instructor, the instructor may accept late homework and papers. If the instructor accepts late work, she will assess a penalty. Any penalty for late work will be explained at the time the work assignment is made.

Academic Integrity:
Students are responsible for the integrity of their academic work. With that principle as a firm starting point, this course will also encourage students to learn from each other. Personal experiences and insights of the members of the class constitute an important resource for each other, which we will utilize as fully as possible.

In their written work, students should use an appropriate footnote or reference system for citing others’ work. Plagiarism is forbidden at Triton College. If a student uses another’s work without giving credit, and this is proven, the student could receive an automatic F in the course.

The assigned counselor for all ARC, COT, and INT students is Ms. Amy Cesarone.
