The International Marketing course is designed to offer an overview of
the strategic and operational decisions that affect both short-term and
long-term global marketing activities. The course examines all elements
of global marketing and provides the opportunity to work on projects and
assignments that deal with "realistic" scenarios. The major mode of
disseminating class material is via lectures. An integral part of the
course is both the semester-long group project as well as the in-class
group presentation. In addition, students will be required to
take a number of exams to be determined in consultation with them.
Although in the past I have not resorted to pop quizzes to stimulate
interest in the class, I may exercise that option at any time.
The publisher of your textbook has an extremely useful Web
site at the following address:
http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072833718/student_view0/index.html
Class attendance is required and expected. Although
attendance is not figured in the calculation of final grades per se, I
plan to lower a student's participation grade if it is deemed that the
student missed class excessively. It is recommended that you read the
lecture material and the chapters in your textbook on a consistent and
continuous basis. Based on past experience, cramming before exams is not
recommended. Students' performance on exams has generally been below par
when they resorted to studying for all material two to three days before
an exam.
Student participation is greatly encouraged, whether is in
the form of questions, answers, opinions, or ideas. The instructor
welcomes all forms of meaningful participation. Therefore, students who
participate in class discussions on a consistent basis will receive the
full credit allocated to participation. My lectures are done in a
friendly, non-adversarial manner which is conducive to student
participation. Please feel free to express your opinions, question the
opinions of others, either those of classmates or mine, and offer your
insight regarding the issues that will cover in the course of this
semester. An integral part of the course is the discussion of current
international marketing/business/trade events.

Class policies:
- Please arrive on time and take your seat quickly and quietly. I prefer that you choose a
seat early in the semester and occupy that same seat on a consistent basis. Late arrivals
will not be tolerated for an extended period of time. If you consistently arrive
late, your participation grade WILL be adversely affected.
- Turn off all mobile phones, PDAs, etc.
- If you must leave early, please let your instructor know beforehand.
- Talking to your classmates, reading newspapers, magazines, or material for other classes
is not allowed during the lectures.
- The instructor reserves the right to ask any students disrupting the normal flow of
lectures to leave the classroom. Also, during exams you are to sit quietly before you
receive the exams materials, during the exam, and after you finish the exam. Please
respect the right of your fellow students for peace and quite during exams. Any and
all attempts for cheating, plagiarism, or other inappropriate behavior is a cause for
disciplinary action. The instructor intends to pursue these very serious matters to the
fullest extend of the class, department, and university policies and regulations.
- Make up exams are only possible with an approved medical excuse. You must show the
instructor a note from your physician justifying your absence from an exam, quiz, etc.
All make up exams will take place on the last day of classes or on the
"final exam" day.
- The instructor will not accept any late assignments. The grade for late
assignments will be 0 (zero). Pleading your case and/or begging for mercy will not be
tolerated. All assignments must be turned in to the instructor in person or the secretary
of the department by the close of business (i.e., 5 p.m.) on the due date.
- You are required to access this Web site on
frequently for announcements and course
material. From time to time I may send important/critical information via
e-mail. So be sure to 1) have a UTEP e-mail address and 2) check your
e-mail at least weekly. You are entirely responsible for accessing your e-mail account on a frequent basis to
check for any and all messages. Unfortunately, I cannot send any broadcast
(i.e., to the entire class) e-mail messages to addresses outside the UTEP
domain.
- If you have a disability or feel you might have a disability and need
assistance, contact the Disabled Student Services Office at 747-5148 or go
to Room 106 Union East.
- Academic Dishonesty:
The University of Texas at El Paso prides itself on its standards of
academic excellence. In all matters of intellectual pursuit, UTEP faculty
and students must strive to achieve based on the quality of the work
produced by the individual. In the classroom and in all other academic
activities, students are expected to uphold the highest standards of
academic integrity. Any form of scholastic dishonesty is an affront to the
pursuit of knowledge and jeopardizes the quality of the degree awarded to
all graduates of UTEP. It is imperative, therefore, that the members of
this academic community understand the regulations pertaining to academic
integrity and that all faculty insist on adherence to these standards.
Any student who commits an act of scholastic dishonesty is subject to
discipline. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to
cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or
materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person,
taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair
advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts. Proven
violations of the detailed regulations, as printed in the Handbook of
Operating Procedures (HOP) and available in the Office of the Dean of
Students, may result in sanctions ranging from disciplinary probation, to
failing grades on the work in question, to failing grades in the course,
to suspension or dismissal, among others.
All research papers, term papers, or other writing intensive
assignments must adhere to APA style. Students are expected to submit all
papers with appropriate citation, references, etc. If you are unsure of
the parameters of this writing style, please contact the instructor within
the first week of classes for further information. Style guides are
available in the University Bookstore.

| Exams |
40% |
| Group Assignment |

| Group Presentation |

Should you have questions or otherwise need clarification on any of the
above matters, please stop by my office or contact me via
e-mail.
