Course Requirements and Grading Policy
Required Text
J. Meredith and S. Mantel. Project Management: A Managerial Approach. Eighth Edition. Wiley.

 Other Recommended Texts
B. Biafore. Microsoft Project 2010: The Missing Manual. R. Mulcahy. CAPM Exam Prep. Second Edition.

 Computer requirements
A laptop is required, and you are required to be able to run Windows. You will be required to install Microsoft Project 2013. Complete instructions are given here, but the easiest process will be for you to perform the first set of steps to get a product key, and then use a copy of the disc I will pass around class. We will also use Microsoft Excel (version 2007 or later.)

 Grading
Students will be graded on the following activities:
  • Midterm on Planning, Chapters 1, 6-9
  • Assignments
  • Group Project Proposal
  • Midterm on Initiation and Execution, Chapters 2-5, 11, 13
  • Group Project
  • Class participation
Class participation will be evaluated by the instructor. Unless I know you are someone who regularly misses class without an explanation, or does not pay attention or participate when in class, you should receive full credit for class participation.


Academic Dishonesty
Behavior that appears to be cheating cannot and will not be tolerated and will be punished appropriately (from earning NO CREDIT on a quiz or assignment to a failing grade in the class.) Behavior that appears to be cheating should be prevented by students and/or reported to the instructor.

If you feel the pressure to cheat to turn in a HW assignment on time…contact the teacher and except in rare situations you will be able to CONDITIONALLY turn the HW in later. Conditionally can include but not be limited to a percentage off for lateness less than 10% per day, full credit for additional work, full credit for situational consideration. In the business world, there tends to be a certain amount of flexibility that is directly proportional to the lead time. The sooner you have a problem let the teacher know.
