- Term Consulting Project :
We will be doing an environmental analysis for a local business.
The exact details
of our assignment will be worked out during the
first few weeks of the term, with a written document
outlining specifics of the assignment to be distributed in class
around the fourth or fifth week.
Students will be working in teams of about four or five with much of
this work completed as assigned modules during class meetings.
The final deliverable product of each team's consulting efforts
will be a written environmental assessment (probably around
fifteen or twenty pages) and a formal presentation.
- Attendance :
Students are expected to attend and participate in all class sessions.
Exams will be based in large part on issues discussed in class
(i.e., not everything will be out of the book).
Team meetings will be a formal part of our class meetings,
and individuals who are not present to complete assignments
associated with these meetings may receive a compensated score
on the final team effort.
Excessive absence may result in a student being dropped from the course.
- Evaluation Methods :
Students will be evaluated on the basis of performance on
three in-class exams (75%, individual),
a written team consulting report (12.5%),
and a team consulting presentation (12.5%).
Individual student scores on team work may be weighted
by attendance at in-class team meetings.
- Grading System :
Final grades will be based on the following totals in points:
A=360-400 points
B=320-359
C=280-319
D=240-279
E=000-239
Where:
100=Exam 1
100=Exam 2
100=Exam 3
50=Team Report
50=Team Presentation
400 TOTAL POINTS POSSIBLE
- Academic Integrity :
"Academic honesty is expected of students enrolled
in this course. Cheating on examinations, unauthorized
collaboration, falsification of research data, plagiarism,

academic dishonesty and may be grounds for a grade of 'F'
in the course and/or disciplinary actions.
For additional information, see the university catalog."
- Disability Accommodations :
"Students with disabilities may request reasonable
accommodations through the A&M-Texarkana Disability Services
Office by calling 903-223-3062."
- A&M-Texarkana Email Address :
"Upon application to Texas A&M University-Texarkana
an individual will be assigned an A&M-Texarkana email account.
This email account will be used to deliver official university
correspondence.
Each individual is responsible for information sent and
received via the university email account and is expected
to check the official A&M-Texarkana email account on a
frequent and consistent basis.
Faculty and students are required to utilize the university
email account when communicating about coursework."
- Drop Policy :
"To drop this course after the 12th class day, a
student must complete the Drop/Withdrawal Request Form,
located on the University website
tamut.edu/Registrar/droppingwithdrawing-from-classes.html
or obtained in the Registrar's Office.
The student must submit the signed and completed form to
the instructor of each course indicated on the form to be
dropped for his/her signature.
The signature is not an 'approval' to drop, but
rather confirmation that the student has discussed the
drop/withdrawal with the faculty member.
The form must be submitted to the Registrar's office for
processing in person, email
Registrar@tamut.edu,
mail (7101 University Avenue, Texarkana, TX 75503) or
fax (903-223-3140).
Drop/withdraw forms missing any of the required information
will not be accepted by the Registrar's Office for
processing.
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the form
is completed properly before submission.
If a student stops participating in class (attending and
submitting assignments) but does not complete and submit
the drop/withdrawal form, a final grade based on work
completed as outlined in the syllabus will be assigned."
