Class participation is useful to the student as a means of acquiring knowledge and subject matter clarification.
Class participation is the active engagement in problem solving, questions and answers, taking part in analyses of business situations, and contribution of
comments in class sessions.
Watching a minimum of four (4) hours of LinkedIn Learning materials on topics related to this class will be a factor in your Participation grade.

Refer to the class syllabus. Students are expected to read the chapter material before class. Classwork will consist of discussing the material in the current chapter, working through examples and exercises.
