Welcome to Week Three
Ethics (BUS302)
Class Notes - Quiz Grades
Week two is over and hopefully everyone has completed the first two quizzes. If you aren't satisfied with your performance so far, I've posted a new video presentation on the home page in the "Course Media" section titled Metacognition that has some suggestions on things you can do to improve your results going forward.
Class Notes - Late Assignments
The University's late policy allows assignments to be turned in up to two weeks late for partial credit. You can find the complete policy in the Student Center in the classroom. If you submit an assignment late, please be sure to send me an e-mail letting me know it needs to be reviewed. This is particularly important with the quizzes because Blackboard doesn't do anything that lets me know those assignments need to be updated.
Class Notes - Presentation Assignment
Our first written assignment is due at the end of this week. It's a discussion of your personal strengths based on the results of the StrengthFinder assessment. If you're having difficulties accessing the assessment, please work with the Helpdesk and have them follow up with me so that I know you've communicated with them. (Or you can forward to me one of the tracking emails that they send to you.) If you don't get the issues resolved in time, we'll make adjustments to your due dates once you're up and running.
I've put some information in the This Week in Business News section of the Week 3 area on following the APA format.

Technical Issues
If you're having technical issues with accessing Blackboard or Aleks, you should contact the Strayer University help desk at 877.642.2999. If you're having issues once you're in Blackboard, e.g. uploading files, downloading files or viewing the grade book, you should contact the Blackboard help desk at 1.866.350.9427. I'll be glad to answer any questions you have about the course's content but faculty don't have the training or access to do any kind of tech support.

Office Hours
I will have three virtual office hours for each week of the course, with time allocated during the week to focus on the assignments and their due dates. I'll be available every Tuesday from 8:00 - 10:00 AM ET and from 8:00 - 9:00 PM ET and on Thursday from 8:00 - 10:00 PM ET.
Outside of those hours, Skype is the best way to get a hold of me. I'm usually online working in the afternoon and early evening so those are great times to get a hold of me if you have a quick question on a problem or assignment.
