  7. What’s the Catch? • The student’s performance, not the instructor, determines the course grade. • No additional work will be given after the final exam to supplement a course grade. • Grades are given based solely on student performance, not needs or any personal reasons.

  8. Class Policy • Attendance Policy – Attendance alone means nothing, but could be “everything” • Academic Honesty • Cheating in exam – zero tolerance • Plagiarism in assignment (see guidelines) • Classroom Etiquette • College of Business Code of Ethics

  9. Tentative Class Schedule • See Syllabus • Note quiz due dates • Note exam dates • Exam questions available before hand • Last exam: LAST DAY OF CLASS

  10. Assignments • MyEconLab • No late submission (but with 10 points bonus)

  11. Lectures • PowerPoint files available online @ http://faculty.tamucc.edu/jlee/2301/

  12. KEY TO SUCCESS • You are not in high school anymore • The instructor will and should not take care of you individually without affecting other students • Stop giving yourself excuses • Take responsibility • Always keep this in mind: In the real world and so in here, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
