Welcome to Class!

My name is Brian Davis and I will be your instructor for this course.  I have been teaching in the Goddard School of Business & Economics for over 22 years.  Prior to returning to Weber State in 1987, I taught at the University of Georgia and at the University of Northern Colorado. 

I have strong ties to Weber State.  I attended Weber State while assigned to Hill Air Force Base and  graduated in 1977.  My wife of 31 years graduated with a nursing degree from Weber State in 1978.  Our son and daughter both graduated from Weber State University in 2009.

I look forward to working with you this semester.  Please e-mail me at bdavis@weber.edu if you have any questions or problems along the way.  Don't hesitate to ask for help!  You can call me anytime on my cell phone at 801-710-9173.

Swine Flu

Special Note on H1N1 Flu:
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Utah Public Health Department are anticipating a resurgence of the H1N1 flu this year. This could result in significant disruption to normal on-campus (and online) classes.
 
I would like to reinforce the following guidelines for this class:
 
If you are ill, stay home. If you become ill (fever, chills, cough) while at school, go home. Exposing others to the virus can potentially result in serious complications and even death in high-risk individuals. See the WSU website at http://weber.edu/flu for specific recommendations.
 

Students With Disabilities

 

Any student requiring accommodations or services due to a disability must contact Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) in room 181 of the Student Service Center. SSD can arrange to provide course materials in alternative formats if necessary.  

 

If you have a disability that will require special arrangements of any kind, please send me an e-mail at bdavis@weber.edu and contact the Services for Students with Disabilities office directly. 
 

Taking the Examinations

All examinations for this course will be administered using the ChiTester software in one of the WSU Testing Centers.

If you live outside of a 50 mile radius of Weber State University, you may take your test through a remote site proctor. For instructions on how to take a test through a remote site proctor, follow this link to Online Testing.

 

John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics Honor Code             

The John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics (Goddard School) recognizes students as adults pursuing their education.  The Goddard School Honor Code seeks to contribute to the development of appropriate individual and group behavior, and encourages responsible citizenship within the University community.   The administration of honor code policies will be conducted in a manner that will foster the ethical development and personal integrity of students and promote an environment that is in accord with the overall educational mission of the Goddard School and Weber State University.  

Students are expected to maintain academic ethics and honesty. Prohibited activities include but are not limited to the following:

a. Cheating, which includes:

i)              Copying from another student's test;  

ii)             Using materials during a test not authorized by the person giving the test;  

iii)            Collaborating with any other person during a test without authorization;  

iv)           Knowingly obtaining, using, buying, selling, transporting, or soliciting in whole or in part the contents of any test without authorization of the appropriate University official 

v)            Bribing any other person to obtain any test;  

vi)           Soliciting or receiving unauthorized information about any test;  

vii)          Substituting for another student or permitting any other person to substitute for oneself to take a test.  

b. Plagiarism, which is the unacknowledged (uncited) use of any other person’s or group’s ideas or work. This includes purchased or borrowed papers;  

c. Collusion, which is the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing work offered for credit;

e. Giving, selling, or receiving unauthorized course or test information;  

f. Using any unauthorized resource or aid in the preparation or completion of any course work, exercise, or activity.

 

Academic Integrity Policy  

 

As a student, I always wanted to know how well I did on an exam as soon as possible.  By using the ChiTester system, you will be able to learn your score immediately after submitting your exam and can review the questions that you missed at that time.  You are not permitted to convey or receive specific information about the content of the exam.   See Section IV, Part D of the WSU Student Code on the class web site.  All written work submitted should be that of the student whose name appears on the paper.  Proper citations and quotation marks should be used to indicate the work and words of others.  The penalty for academic dishonesty in this class will be a failing grade.  Additional penalties may be imposed in accordance with university policy.
