5 Module A: Managing HR Globally Module B: Managing Human Resources in Small and Entrepreneurial Firms Paper Due Course Ends Students are required to log in at least twice weekly, preferably daily. Three tests (3) given this semester. Tests will consist of both objective and essay question and will be valued as one-fourth of your final grade. Objective questions will cover textbook reading. I will prepare you for the essay questions using Eagle online. Historically, the essay questions raise the test grades of most students. Instructor's Requirements A report will be assigned by the Professor via the Eagle Assignments Tool which will count as one-fourth of your final grade. Program/Discipline Requirements: If applicable HCC Grading Scale: NO MAKE-UP FINALS ARE PROVIDED, PER DISTANCE EDUCATION POLICIES. Business Administration is determined to prepare students with the knowledge and skill needed to succeed in today s dynamic work environment. Students in Introduction to Business must be able to budget their time and perform class-related activities as assigned on a weekly basis. Opportunities are provided for students to recognize the important rol personal qualities play in the business environment and activities have been enhanced to help students develop the attitudes and interpersonal skills that are in demand by employers. A = points per semester hour B = 89-80: 3 points per semester hour C = 79-70: 2 points per semester hour D = 69-60: 1 point per semester hour 59 and below = F FX (Failure due to non-attendance) IP (In Progress) W (Withdrawn) I (Incomplete) AUD (Audit)

6 IP (In Progress) is given only in certain developmental courses. The student must re-enro to receive credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses. FINAL GRADE OF FX: Students who stop attending class and do not withdraw themselves prior to the withdrawal deadline may either be dropped by their professor for excessive absences or be assigned the final grade of "FX" at the end of the semester. Students who stop attending classes will receive a grade of "FX", compared to an earned grade of "F" which is due to poor performance. Logging into a DE course without active participation is seen as non-attending. Please note that HCC will not disperse financial aid funding for students who have never attended class. Students who receive financial aid but fail to attend class will be reported to the Department of Education and may have to pay back their aid. A grade of "FX" is treated exactly the same as a grade of "F" in terms of GPA, probation, suspension, and satisfactory academic progress. To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total number of semester hours attempted. The grades "IP," "COM" and "I" do not affect GPA. Health Sciences Programs Grading Scales may differ from the approved HCC Grading Scale. For Health Sciences Programs Grading Scales, see the "Program Discipline Requirements" section of the Program's syllabi.
