I expect you to read the assigned readings before class each day, work with interactive figures, and answer the questions in the text.
● Written Notebooks, Class Participation, Cold Calls and Discussions (25%). Class participation involves talking. All interactions will be civil, respectful, and supportive of an inclusive learning environment.
● Six Week Exams (15%). You will be tested every six weeks, and there will be a cumulative final exam. The exams will consist of multiple-choice, short-answer, and T/F questions (modeled after the weekly quizzes). Additionally, there will be an article for you to dissect.
● Homework and Classroom Team Activities (25%). There will be homework assignments. The majority of these assignments will entail your locating and interviewing entrepreneurs. All homework activities have a due date. You have up to two weeks after the due date to turn in assignments. Assignments that are turned in after the due date will have a maximum grade of 75. Two weeks after, the maximum grade will be 50. If you were in the hospital or some such thing, let's discuss.
● Quizzes (15%). The multiple-choice quizzes by chapter will be posted to Canvas and cover that week's chapters. The quizzes will be closed and due at 11:59 PM (PST) of the due date. Canvas automatically grades these quizzes, and they will help prepare you for the exams. All homework activities have a due date. You have up to two weeks after the due date to turn in assignments, but you will have a 7.5 point penalty per day.
● Final (20%). The final will be a blue book final. It is handwritten. Everything we discuss in class is up for grabs. You can use your hand-written notes. There are no devices, no printed materials. Just your blue book and pen. You will have a couple of short answer questions. In each answer, I will assess if the answer is perfect (full credit), less than perfect (75% credit), mediocre (50% credit), or unacceptable (0% credit).
● Reports and Perplexity. There will be movies to watch with written reflections. We will also use Perplexity
● Extra Credit. There will be plenty of extra credit opportunities. With good work, they could improve your results by up to one letter grade.
