Welcome!
This page is usually under construction!
Here is
the syllabus for Spring 2003 in html format.
Why not
take a look at a sample exam? Here is
one for chapter
1 and Chapter 2 in HTML format.
Don’t be dismayed, it is harder than the usual exam! But, it should give
you an idea of what the real exams might look like! The usual exam will be 50 questions covering
the chapters discussed.
Here is a
partial
actual first exam with an answer key. I have excised certain questions for
my own reasons. Take the time to review
this, but also realize in the past we taught ethics in this first section, so
there may be some questions with ethics you haven’t been exposed to yet.
Here is
an old prior second
exam with an answer key. Realize
again the chapters do not necessarily correspond to the chapters we covered.
Here is
an old prior third exam with an answer key. Again, the test doesn’t necessarily cover the
chapters we have covered.
Here is a
link to valuable study materials and on line study exams. You will be able to earn extra credit by
doing the exams (more about this in class).
Here is the link: http://www.westbuslaw.com/wbl/wbl_8e/wbl8e.html ç THIS IS THE LINK TO
THE EXTRA CREDIT E- TESTS! Its called
the “test tutor- online quizzes”.
E-Tests:
In an effort to avail yourself
of a method to both aid you in studying for the regular examinations and to
assist you in studying and recognizing your own strength and weaknesses, I
offer you the ability to earn one point per e-test submitted electronically to
me up to a FIVE POINT MAXIMUM PER REGULARLY SCHEDULED EXAM.
The rules are simple: you
do the tests, email them to me (but make sure to keep a copy because
occasionally the email system breaks!), and I will grant credit on the next
exam. You are NOT
required to do the e-tests, but I think you will find it to your benefit. For example, if you made a raw score of 76
and did 7 out of 7 e-tests, you would get 5 points added, so your score would
be 81. If you had done only 4 e-tests, you would get 4 points. Obviously it is to your advantage to do all
the e-tests to make sure you know how well you have knowledge of all the
chapter’s materials.
Note also: you do not
have to make a perfect score, but you do have to make at least 70% particularly since this is an open book
type of test. I plan to offer this
opportunity for the rest of the semester, but I do reserve the right to cancel
this opportunity at any time with adequate notice.
Finally, I will “shut
down” the receipt of the e-tests approximately three or four days before the
actual exam itself. Any e-tests received after the “to be announced” cut off
will not be included in your score. CUT OFF: SATURDAY
To decode the “code number”, use the following system: Look at your social security
number, such as 123-45-6789.
You look
to digits 8, 9 and 3. Thus, in this
example, the code number would be 893. There were two duplicates, so you look to
digits 8,9,3,5. Those four students
would have to look at the very bottom of the page due to the sorting then of 4
digits as opposed to 3 digits.
Note also
if your “first” digits in the “code” begin with a zero, the zero(s) does not show, thus you might only see two
digits displayed.
Here is
the cumulative link to
your grades and e-tests.
Extra credit will count up to 5 points on your final
grade. However, the average extra credit in the past has usually been about 3
points. It obviously depends on the
quality of your paper. The paper is due the final class or may be emailed to me
before that time.
You may
write a 5 page paper (with sources) on any one
of the following topics:
1.
The
ethics of using Nazi gained medical information in today’s medical exploration.
2.
The
ethics of Enron
3.
The
antitrust case against Microsoft
4.
The
ethics/legality of stem cell research
5.
The
antitrust case against AT&T (the original telephone company) and its
eventual split-up into the baby bells and its fallout and effect in today’s
world.
