Welcome to Communications for Business Winter 2017

Welcome to Communications for Business WINTER 2017

My name is Joe Barnes and I will be your professor for the course. I look forward to getting to know you.

Our class meets: Monday, Wednesday & Fridays 12:30PM - 1:55PM in Pigott 100.

The first day of class is important. It is January 4th.

Please bring a printed copy of the syllabus with you to class.

This is an important announcement about the course so please read this announcement carefully. These rules are designed to help you be successful here at Seattle University and later in business.

We have an exciting series of classes with some great content, fabulous videos, and great speakers.

ATTENDANCE:

Attendance is taken the first 10 minutes of class. If you arrive at class after 10 minutes for any reason, you are considered absent. If you leave class for more than 10 minutes, or leave more than 10 minutes early, for any reason, you are considered absent. Here is the reason: In business, it is critical to be early and on time. Being late is a sign of disrespect.

ELECTRONICS:

No electronics are allowed during class time. This includes phones, tablets, and laptops. They are a disruption to your ability to focus on the content and speakers. It is suggested you bring a small notebook to class.

SEATING:

You will be sitting in pre-arranged teams for all of your class sessions. I will be sending out team assignments via Outlook email and Canvas. Teams are also posted in the modules section of Canvas.

CLASS SCHEDULE:

The syllabus and class schedule are posted in the module section of Canvas. Attached you will find a copy of the class schedule. ** This may change prior to the start of classes so please look for any changes on Outlook email and Canvas. **

MIDTERM AND FINAL:

You will take both the midterm exam and the final exam online on Canvas.

MATERIALS:

There is no required book for the course, but there are required readings you will find in Canvas.
