Course Deliverables
You will be evaluated in the following areas:
Attendance (28 * .75 = 21 Points):
Your success in this course starts with coming to class on time and being prepared.
Each class session is as follows:
Timely attendance
Late (15 minutes or less)
Absent (or more than 15-minutes late)
0.75 points
0.25 points
0.00 points
IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE ABSENT FROM MORE THAN FIVE CLASS SESSIONS,
YOU FAIL THIS COURSE.
If you have extenuating circumstances where you are going to miss class,
be late or leave early, please email me in advance. I dont differentiate
between excused and unexcused absences as this is a matter of your individual
privacy. Therefore, do not provide doctor notes, or other related information. If you
have a serious personal matter that will result in missing consecutive classes, please
discuss with me and the Dean of Students so we can assess the impact on this
course and develop a plan for success. Always communicate in advance, not after
the fact. I view advance communication and you taking control of your
responsibilities in a positive manner, and the contrary is true.
Class Preparation and Post-Chapter Tests (10 * 2 = 20 Points):
Being prepared for every class session is a critical requirement for your success in
this course. To assist you with your preparation, we utilize Post-Chapter Tests on
Blackboard to guide you through the preparation process. Each chapter test must be
completed the night before it is discussed in class. Specific chapter and case
assignments, as well as related due dates and times, are included in the course
schedule at the end of the syllabus. In addition, we use videos, simulations, and
other learning tools to reinforce your required reading. Timely completion of
assignments is the best way of being prepared for class, as well as achieving a
successful grade. Obviously, the contrary is true.
Entrepreneurial Experience (2 * 2.5 = 5 Points):
Entrepreneurial thinking allows you to see your professional aspirations in a more
creative and innovative way. The Center for Entrepreneurship has created an
executive speaker seminar series, along with skill-based workshops. These seminars
and workshops will help bring some clarity to your academic and professional
interests, as well as start building your network. You will be required to attend one
seminar and one workshop as scheduled throughout the semester. To reserve your
seat (seating is limited), visit entrepreneurship.suffolk.edu. While there will be
enough seats for all ENT-101 students to attend one of each, I recommend
scheduling your events sooner than later to avoid not having a seat later in the
semester. Unavailable seats will not be a reason for completing this requirement. A
ticket and your student ID is required for admission to each event. Walk-ins are not
permitted.

Grading / Evaluation
You will be evaluated and your grade computed using the following weighted
grading system:
Attendance (28 class sessions * .75 points)
Class Preparation (10 tests * 2 points)
Entrepreneurial Experience (2 events * 2.5 points)
Business Concept Exams (3 exams * 5 points)
21 points

5 points
9 points
25 points
100 points
61% of your grade will be based on your individual performance, while 39% will be
based on your teams performance.
The above total will be reduced by any affect from the Use of Technology policy,
Academic Integrity policy, and the five-absence limit under Attendance. More than
five absences will result in a grade of F for this course.
Your final grade will be issued using the scale below based on your total points
(percent of total points earned from the assignments above divided by possible total
points):
Grading Scale
B+ (87 89 points)
A (93 points)
B (83 86 points)
