Due to having to visit multiple campuses and the usual sundry meetings, etc., it would be best to send me a note with a request for an appointment. Of course we could also meet before class.
Also – my “home” ‘phone number goes directly to me, no one else has access. These number is good 24/7 – feel free to call at anytime, if I am there we will talk, if not, simply leave a message stating who you are, which class you are in and why you are calling – I’ll do my best to address your issue, often, due to time, I will send you an e-mail.
Regarding e-mail…. It seems we are all plagued (or is that helped?) by using e-mail, it is a great tool until someone wishes to misbehave. Like everyone else, I also get spam and rude material so it is very important to note the following. You MUST first state in the “Subject” area the course name/number, e.g., MBA-678, plus anything else you wish to note. We are working at the graduate level, so the message needs to be formatted correctly and you MUST ‘sign’ it – i.e., put you name in it – matching e-mail addresses to names is not on my list of favorite things to do. When you get a response (I most often use the “reply” function) from me, it will likely be from my personal account – it will be obvious. I appreciate your using only one e-mail address to contact me as duplicate missives just makes more work, thanks. Prerequisites: There is no prerequisite for this course. However…if this is your first business course, you will have to “catch-up” a bit, i.e., we will be addressing issues at the graduate business level; so if you are not yet
