  9. Here’s a little tip In order to learn and do well in this course, you will need to prepare for each class by studying the assigned material, attending each class session, and participating in class discussions. Students who do not read in advance will not do well on reading quizzes. Students who do not attend class will not be able to receive credit for in-class participation, “What I Learned” cards, quizzes, nor for group presentation evaluations. IT IS IMPARITIVE THAT YOU READ IN ADVANCE, ATTEND CLASS AND PARTICIPATE. Over 50% of your grade is based upon these three factors. Business Ethics BMGT 2150
