Other Important Information:

It is expected you would respect others by being on time and not using
communication devices during the class period.

Write-ups: Write your assignments as if you were reporting to a senior

executive within the company. Focus your thoughts carefully. Write-ups
should therefore be no longer than 8-10 pages (single spaced, well
formatted, with 10 pt or greater font) plus appendices.

Schedule: The faculty reserves the right to modify this schedule as the class
progresses.
