Participation will be based on a random day I choose to take attendance and involvement in class. I may include attitude and personal interest in the course and course materials, and partaking in optional voluntary essay assignments given throughout the semester as part of the participation 5%. It looks like this: 1% attendance and 4% optional essay or voluntary participation during class.

I will also provide a CIVILITY bonus for showing respect in abstaining from inappropriate internet use during lectures.

While education itself can open many doors, success begins with initiative. With the never-ending rise of technology, more and more tech savvy individuals are required to upkeep it and bring upon more innovation. As technology continues to grow, so has my fondness for it. I believe I have the desire and the determination, but lack the financial backbone needed to achieve my goal of becoming a IT Specialist/Analyst. With future plans of serving in the military, I believe I can become the epitome of what greatness it. Being a member of the National Technical Honor Society, earning many IT awards and certifications, I have shown that I am capable of achieving high expectations not only academically, but also in the workforce.Scholarships would

One of the greatest expectations of this course is most definitely class participation. A large majority of this class time will me spent discussing various works of literature written throughout history. In addition to class participation, attendance is another big expectation for this class.

First, you must show up to class. Then you need to ask questions, provide feedback, suggest ideas, help a peer on the computer, etc. Students are expected to actively participate in each class and in Blackboard discussions and assignments. Participation is defined as working actively within the class or your assigned group(s), adding to the discussion of in-class activities, whether role-plays debriefing, case analysis, or learning opportunities in the classroom, and posting responses to and questions for discussion threads assigned in Blackboard. Participation will be included as part of the grade in this course. You will be assessed on your participation in the classroom (beyond simply attended class) and your participation in discussion threads. So, you will have to actively be in class and participating each week to earn your points. Active input from students in regard to their experience and opinions will enrich the class experience. In addition, a student’s interactive involvement in all discussion posts and assigned activities is important for creating a shared learning environment. This includes during class as well as participating in online discussions outside of class.

In the same semester, I had a “Molecular Biology” class taught by Dr. Maria King. As a daily class assignment, we read scientific articles and presented them in the class. It developed my ability to understand and explain the scientific content in a precise and concise manner. In the second semester, all my management courses required class participation to enrich class learning by pooling different ideas, beliefs, and opinions from students. It was an opportunity to express and present your views on a management topic to the whole class and trying to defend your stance with my fellow classmates.

The attributes for strategy can be summarized as imagination, subversion and power to the people. Essentially these summarized the

There is an old story of how several blind men set out to understand what an elephant was by examining a live specimen. Each of them explored a different part of the elephant's body. One blind man, falling against the elephant's side, proclaimed that an elephant must be very much like a wall. Another, grasping the elephant's ear, decided that an elephant must closely resemble a leaf. One grabbed the elephant's tail and determined that elephants must resemble ropes. Yet another felt the elephant's leg and came away convinced that elephants are very much like trees. Still another held the elephant's trunk and exclaimed that elephants had much in common with snakes.
