Bryant Department of Management
General Policies and Procedures
Spring 2004
To ensure the equitable
treatment of all students enrolled in courses conducted by the
Department of Management, the following policies have been adopted by
all full-time and adjunct faculty members, and will be strictly
enforced.
1. All papers that are submitted by students will be
evaluated for grammar and spelling in addition to content.
Students are strongly encouraged to use the Academic Center for
Excellence or reference texts such as Elements of Style
to ensure papers are of the highest quality. Grades for
these papers will be compromised if grammar and spelling errors are not
minimal.
2. It is expected that all students will thoroughly read
and understand the course syllabus. This document reflects
a mutual understanding between the student and the professor, and
should be kept for reference, especially concerning course policies and
procedures.
3. Email Communications must be kept professional, and should always include the following information:
name, date, reason for the email, and “signature” at the end of the
email correspondence. If an immediate reply is required,
email may not be the most effective means of communication.
Many faculty members do not check email messages more than once or
twice a day.
4. Grades are earned during the course of the semester, and
are non-negotiable at the end of the semester. It is the
responsibility of the student to work collaboratively with the
professor early in the semester if grades received to date are lower than desired.
5. Disciplinary action will be undertaken with any act of
plagiarism and/or cheating. Students will be required to
meet with the professor to discuss any such misconduct before meeting
with the Department Chair.
