Notes:                          1)  Please read the assigned chapters.  Attendance and participation count.

                                    2)  My office is in Macmillan 304A, which is off the Social Sciences Lab (312).  I share this space with two other Instructors.  To get to Macmillan 304A, you need to walk down to the end of the hall in the North end of Macmillan and then proceed into and through room 312.  At this point, I have no specific office hours, but I am teaching MGMT 153 7:00 to 9:00 on Mondays, and will generally be available as needed before and after that course.  You can always e-mail me with any questions or to set up a time to meet.
