Disclosure Statement
Business Management – Spring, 2016-17
Business & Marketing Education Department (Mr. Willardson)
Course Description and Objectives: This Business Management course seeks to develop sound management concepts within students, as management plays a role in any future employment opportunity. Students are able to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate data from the other functional areas of business (e.g., marketing, finance, and production/operation). Effective management requires decision-making abilities, long-range planning knowledge, human relations expertise, and motivational skills. Students learn the four basic functions of management: planning, organizing, directing, and controlling.
Grading: Students will be graded on the following criteria:
1. Daily Assignments. Assignments will have a specific due date and will be graded on completeness and accuracy. Students will be expected to do their own work. If the student is in class on the assignment due date and does not turn in the assignment, he/she will receive zero points for that assignment and will not have the opportunity to make up the work later. Makeup work must be turned in within five school days of the absence.
2. Preparation and participation. Preparation refers to being in class on time with needed assignments, notebooks, books, pencils, etc. Participation refers to the student’s willingness to follow directions, involvement in classroom discussions, and working on task throughout the class period. A possible of ten points will be given for each class period, based on the following:
Ten points will be given for being on time to class and on task the entire period.
Ten points will be given if the student makes up work following an excused absence.
Five points will be deducted if the student has an unexcused tardy.
No points will be given for a truancy.
No points will be given if the student is sleeping in class.
Additionally, there will be a loss of participation points for off-task behavior or for being unprepared.
Participation points may NOT be made up except for excused absences.
3. Tests/Quizzes. If a student has an unexcused absence on a test day, he/she will not be allowed to make up the test. Students with excused absences will be able to make up the tests.
4. Integrated Project. Students will complete a final project at the end of the semester course, which will integrate all of the computer applications which have been learned during the course. More information on that project will be given at that time.
Grading weights by quarter will be as follows:
Assignments 40%
Preparation/Participation 10%
Tests/Quizzes 30%
Final Project 20%
Letter grades are assigned as follows:
A 94-100%
A- 90-93%
B+ 87-89%
B 84-86%
B- 80-83%
C+ 77-79%
C 74-76%
C- 70-73%
D+ 67-69%
D 64-66%
D- 60-63%
F Below 60%
Some grading may be done by students and teacher’s aides.
Student information, work, and grades will be kept confidential and will not be shared without the necessary authorization as per FERPA Regulations - See JSD Policy.
Attendance Policy: To receive credit in this class this attendance policy must be followed:
Students will receive a “No Grade” in class when one of the following occurs:
Make-Up Work: Students will have five school days to make up work missed (assignments or quizzes/tests) for an excused absence. Make-up work for truancies will not be allowed, for either assignments or quizzes/tests. Teachers in the business department will be available for make-up work and tests, individual help, or other student needs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings from 7:00 to 7:35 a.m., and after school each day until 3:00 p.m. Friday mornings, all teachers will be involved in Comprehensive School Improvement activities.
Class Rules: Students will be expected to show respect for themselves, for the teacher, for other students in the classroom, and for the equipment that will be used. Class rules are based upon these expectations. Students will be expected to follow the guidelines listed in the Jordan School District Acceptable Use Policy, which each student was required to sign as part of his or her school registration prior to the beginning of the school year.
Class rules are:
1. Students have ONE WEEK from the date of an absence to get make-up work turned in. Makeup work will not be accepted after that time.
2. Students will use equipment appropriately and according to teacher’s directions.
3. Students will follow all written and verbal directions.
4. No food, gum, or drinks in the classroom.
5. No cell phones or other electronic devices in class, including iPods and CD players (this is a Jordan School District policy). If students break this rule, the following will apply:
a. First infraction: warning
b. Second infraction: the teacher will take the device and return it to the student at the end of the class period
c. Third infraction: the teacher will take the device and turn it in to the vice principal. The student will then be responsible to the administration to retrieve the device.
6. Students will respect others in the class. Rudeness in any form is unacceptable.
7. Sharing of assignments between students will absolutely not be tolerated. If such sharing does occur, all students involved will receive zero points on the assignment or test involved, and they will also receive a reduction in their citizenship grades.
Infractions of the rules will result in one or more of the following, depending upon frequency and severity of the problem: loss of daily participation points, calls home, or referral to administration.
Those students who follow the rules will receive one or more of the following: positive notes to student or parent and the option to redo a test or assignment.
Hall Passes: To cut down on unnecessary absences from class time, students will be allowed to use a hall pass no more than twice each quarter for legitimate purposes (5-minute limit). Additionally, no hall passes will be issued the first 20 minutes of each class.
Required Materials: Students will be expected to bring their own pen or pencil to class every day.
The best way to reach me is by e-mail ([email protected]), or by phone (801 253-5600 ext. 74389). I am also available to meet with students and parents in my classroom, Monday through Thursday, from 7:00 – 7:30 am, and Monday through Friday, from 2:25 – 3:00 pm. Additionally, I have a Conference/Preparation Period, during Period 1, each “A” Day, and Period 7, each “B” Day.
We are looking forward to a successful semester with your student.

Business Management – Spring, 2016-17
Business & Marketing Education Department (Mr. Willardson)
Course Description and Objectives: This Business Management course seeks to develop sound management concepts within students, as management plays a role in any future employment opportunity. Students are able to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate data from the other functional areas of business (e.g., marketing, finance, and production/operation). Effective management requires decision-making abilities, long-range planning knowledge, human relations expertise, and motivational skills. Students learn the four basic functions of management: planning, organizing, directing, and controlling.
Grading: Students will be graded on the following criteria:
1. Daily Assignments. Assignments will have a specific due date and will be graded on completeness and accuracy. Students will be expected to do their own work. If the student is in class on the assignment due date and does not turn in the assignment, he/she will receive zero points for that assignment and will not have the opportunity to make up the work later. Makeup work must be turned in within five school days of the absence.
2. Preparation and participation. Preparation refers to being in class on time with needed assignments, notebooks, books, pencils, etc. Participation refers to the student’s willingness to follow directions, involvement in classroom discussions, and working on task throughout the class period. A possible of ten points will be given for each class period, based on the following:
Ten points will be given for being on time to class and on task the entire period.
Ten points will be given if the student makes up work following an excused absence.
Five points will be deducted if the student has an unexcused tardy.
No points will be given for a truancy.
No points will be given if the student is sleeping in class.
Additionally, there will be a loss of participation points for off-task behavior or for being unprepared.
Participation points may NOT be made up except for excused absences.
3. Tests/Quizzes. If a student has an unexcused absence on a test day, he/she will not be allowed to make up the test. Students with excused absences will be able to make up the tests.
4. Integrated Project. Students will complete a final project at the end of the semester course, which will integrate all of the computer applications which have been learned during the course. More information on that project will be given at that time.
Grading weights by quarter will be as follows:
Assignments 40%
Preparation/Participation 10%
Tests/Quizzes 30%
Final Project 20%
Letter grades are assigned as follows:
A 94-100%
A- 90-93%
B+ 87-89%
B 84-86%
B- 80-83%
C+ 77-79%
C 74-76%
C- 70-73%
D+ 67-69%
D 64-66%
D- 60-63%
F Below 60%
Some grading may be done by students and teacher’s aides.
Student information, work, and grades will be kept confidential and will not be shared without the necessary authorization as per FERPA Regulations - See JSD Policy.
Attendance Policy: To receive credit in this class this attendance policy must be followed:
Students will receive a “No Grade” in class when one of the following occurs:
- ONE Truancy (requires two attendance school sessions to make up)
- THREE absences (requires one attendance school session beginning with the third and subsequent absences)
- FOUR tardies (requires one attendance school session for each two tardies beginning with the fourth and subsequent tardies)
Make-Up Work: Students will have five school days to make up work missed (assignments or quizzes/tests) for an excused absence. Make-up work for truancies will not be allowed, for either assignments or quizzes/tests. Teachers in the business department will be available for make-up work and tests, individual help, or other student needs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings from 7:00 to 7:35 a.m., and after school each day until 3:00 p.m. Friday mornings, all teachers will be involved in Comprehensive School Improvement activities.
Class Rules: Students will be expected to show respect for themselves, for the teacher, for other students in the classroom, and for the equipment that will be used. Class rules are based upon these expectations. Students will be expected to follow the guidelines listed in the Jordan School District Acceptable Use Policy, which each student was required to sign as part of his or her school registration prior to the beginning of the school year.
Class rules are:
1. Students have ONE WEEK from the date of an absence to get make-up work turned in. Makeup work will not be accepted after that time.
2. Students will use equipment appropriately and according to teacher’s directions.
3. Students will follow all written and verbal directions.
4. No food, gum, or drinks in the classroom.
5. No cell phones or other electronic devices in class, including iPods and CD players (this is a Jordan School District policy). If students break this rule, the following will apply:
a. First infraction: warning
b. Second infraction: the teacher will take the device and return it to the student at the end of the class period
c. Third infraction: the teacher will take the device and turn it in to the vice principal. The student will then be responsible to the administration to retrieve the device.
6. Students will respect others in the class. Rudeness in any form is unacceptable.
7. Sharing of assignments between students will absolutely not be tolerated. If such sharing does occur, all students involved will receive zero points on the assignment or test involved, and they will also receive a reduction in their citizenship grades.
Infractions of the rules will result in one or more of the following, depending upon frequency and severity of the problem: loss of daily participation points, calls home, or referral to administration.
Those students who follow the rules will receive one or more of the following: positive notes to student or parent and the option to redo a test or assignment.
Hall Passes: To cut down on unnecessary absences from class time, students will be allowed to use a hall pass no more than twice each quarter for legitimate purposes (5-minute limit). Additionally, no hall passes will be issued the first 20 minutes of each class.
Required Materials: Students will be expected to bring their own pen or pencil to class every day.
The best way to reach me is by e-mail ([email protected]), or by phone (801 253-5600 ext. 74389). I am also available to meet with students and parents in my classroom, Monday through Thursday, from 7:00 – 7:30 am, and Monday through Friday, from 2:25 – 3:00 pm. Additionally, I have a Conference/Preparation Period, during Period 1, each “A” Day, and Period 7, each “B” Day.
We are looking forward to a successful semester with your student.
