STUDENT RESPONSABILITIES/BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS
Students are responsible and accountable for their behavior, academic or otherwise, at the
American University of Leadership. The University expects that students, as mature members
of the academic community, will adhere to the highest standards of personal and academic
integrity and taste.
All students are required to buy and bring to the classroom the class textbook and to take
notes during lectures. If students do not bring their textbooks, writing implements, or paper to
class, they will be asked to leave and counted absent.
Students are expected to prepare for each class and to participate in class discussions.
Students are encouraged to ask questions.
Student involvement is critical and new material is presented in each section.
In addition to lecture notes, material available on your course website (ilearn), assignments,
class discussions and quizzes are a required and graded part of this course. Detail instruction
on the use of Blackboard will be given in class.
Class attendance is expected and required. Absence from class, for any reason, is recorded as
an absence. Class attendance will be handled in accordance with university policy as stated in
the internal regulation.
Any absence may affect the students grade.
Lateness will be counted as an absence. The instructor will close the door at the start of class.
The instructor may (but is not required to) allow late student to enter the room once
attendance is recorded. The class starts on time. When the instructor closes the door to the
classroom students not in the room at that time may not be given entry, regardless of the
excuse they may have for being late, until attendance it completed.
If a midterm exam or final exam is missed due to illness, a doctors certification of a serious
illness should be brought to the attention of the academic director, who will inform the Office
of Admissions and Registration. The student should contact the instructor as soon as possible.
Mobile Phones all other electronic devices are to be turned off before entering the
classroom. Students found using these items will be asked to take their books and leave the
class. Days missed due to such dismissal will be counted as absent (see Attendance and
Participation above).
Self-directed learning (outside class time): It is strongly advised that students read the
chapter prior to attending the weekly lecture. The more a student participates by sharing
general and/or regional examples, opinions and experiences the more the class will be
enjoyable and beneficial to all. Therefore, students are required to read the assigned
material before it is presented in class. This includes the chapter in the textbook, and also the
learning tools which come with the textbook.
Students are expected to work by themselves outside the classroom an average total of six
hours per week (two times the formal class time per week, a common standard at university
level). This includes reading, problem solving, and practicing. It is highly recommended not

to accumulate backlog. If a student does not do the assigned work on a weekly basis, there is
a strong chance such a student will fail this course.
To ensure your success for this course, a student is recommended to do the following:

Read the assigned sections and chapters.

Ensure familiarity with the topics discussed therein.
Take time to do all the suggested Questions in the text. The examinations will
resemble these. Do not memorize solutions. Learn how to produce the solutions. The
capacity to solve problems is what will be tested. The instructor will review and
provide comments on typed answers to Questions at the request of any student.
Go back to any of the above as required.
Speak to the instructor problems in understanding or comprehension are encountered.

Cheating is an infraction of the rules and regulations of the Institution. If you are ever in
doubt as to whether or not a particular activity is cheating conclude that it is. A tougher
anticheating policy will be applied for any student who is referred to him in a cheating case
and has been found guilty of cheating.
STUDENT-INSTRUCTOR INTERACTION/FEEDBACK
Students are encouraged to contact the instructor during office hours or via email. In order to
gather feedback for future course improvements, suggestions, comments and concerns
regarding any aspect of this course will gladly be accepted, at any time during the semester. In
addition, a formal course evaluation will be administered at the end of the semester.
