    Violation of Academic Honesty Policy:


    If the instructor receives any two projects / assignments that are identical or partially identical
    (including spreadsheets), both cases will receive a zero. If the student violates the Academic
    Honesty policy for a second time, he/she will receive an “F” grade for the course.

    How to Keep Your Professor Happy:


    Class attendance is mandatory. You may miss up to 6 class sessions. On the seventh absence,
    you will be withdrawn from the course. As a courtesy to the instructor and other students, be
    prepared to arrive at class and be in your seat on time. In addition, please note that each class
    lasts for 90 minutes.

    Also keep in mind some general rules as given below:


     Cell phones should be powered off.
     Eatables are not allowed in the class.
     The teacher will not tolerate any disruptive behavior in the class.
     The Dress Code has to be observed, no warnings will be given, and violators will be
    asked politely to leave the class and consequently will be marked absent.
    Participation:
    Students are required to attend all classes and read all the assigned material in advance of class
    (although not necessarily with perfect comprehension). Advanced preparation and class
    participation are crucial for periods in which we discuss cases. During discussion sessions, the
    instructor generally keeps track of the insightful and useful comments students make. (any
    unproductive contribution is not rewarded.
