"To
Learn, To Teach, To
Observe, and To Do." The
student
should be a Critical Thinker, Effective
Communicator, Proactive Educator, and Moral Practitioner.
Class
time will include lecture, business case short videos and class discussion, and also supervision and help on your team
assignments. For the most part, Mondays will be lecture days,
and Wednesdays will be team days. On team days, we will apply the
concepts covered in the lectures to either your Project or to external
business cases or operations management model sample problems. Your team will be required to answer specific
questions given the In-Class Assignments, or in the Project Milestones
during class. Usually, these are due at the end of class, but I
may extend the time to allow teams to complete an assignment before the
next class meeting. This type of class flipping has
proven especially helpful for teamwork (to ensure participation of all
team members), and also for project work, where immediate help can
correct the trajectory of your project early in the process.
Project: Students will form teams to study a real company's management and operations. As
we progress through the course, teams are required to apply the
concepts and models that we learn to the company that the team has
selected. This is achieved through Project Milestones, which are
assignments that provide questions or instruct you with specific tasks
in order to apply these concepts to your company. Project
Milestones are due as listed on the Course Schedule. At the end
of the semester, teams will present their projects to the class and
also summarize their findings and recommendations in a report.
The final project presentation and report are in lieu of a final exam.

Hebrew
Theological
College is committed to providing an academic community and learning
environment based on honest inquiry and pursuit of knowledge that
fosters
commitment and adherence to Judaic tenets. The faculty and
administration of
Hebrew Theological College have specified the following acts as serious
violations
of personal honesty and academic ideals that jeopardize the quality of
education within a Torah environment:
More information about HTC’s Academic Integrity policy can be found on page 15 of the Student Handbook.
Any
student, who, because of a disability, may require
some special arrangements in order to meet course requirements should
contact the
instructor as soon as possible to make necessary accommodations and
share
appropriate documentation from the Office of Special Services, provided
by
HTC’s Disabilities Officer, Dr. Richard Aronoff.
Accommodations
will be made, but instructors must be aware
of your needs in order to make proper accommodations. It is the responsibility of the student to make
these needs known in a timely fashion and to provide documentation
prior to the
beginning of any semester in which accommodations are desired.
Incomplete
Policy-- Crisis Management
This
is available ONLY to
students with extreme and/or extenuating circumstances who
Students
who have not
satisfactorily completed 50% of class assignments are not allowed to
receive an
incomplete grade. Students who do not have a grade of “C” or above
average are
not allowed an incomplete. Students must request an incomplete prior to
the
week of finals. The instructor may refuse an incomplete request. It is
the
student’s responsibility to request an Incomplete Form from the school
office,
have the form signed by the instructor, Dean, themselves, and return it
to the
instructor prior to the final. If the student fails to return the
completed
form to you when grades are due, the student is to receive the grade
they would
have received if they had not requested an incomplete. Instructors will
define
the amount of time allowed to complete the missing work, however, the
time
allowed cannot exceed 12 weeks after the end of the semester in which
the
incomplete was requested. If the student fails to remove the incomplete
within
12 weeks, the grade will be recorded as an “IF,” meaning failure due to
an
incomplete. An “IF” will be counted as an “F” in the student’s GPA and
will be
part of the student’s permanent record.
HTC bans
the use of
cell phones, computers and other devices for texting,
web-browsing
or
other non-class related activities during class. This behavior may
result in
expulsion from the course after a single warning. Electronic devices
may not be
used during exams, and their use in class is subject to faculty
discretion and
permission. Only students with documented disabilities who must use
such
devices may request exemptions as documented.
Hebrew
Theological
College is committed to providing all of our students with various
resources
and support for academic success. Tutorial services through the Writing
Clinic,
Math Center, and Hebrew Tutoring Center provide assistance in a variety
of
disciplines. Students should make arrangements to avail themselves of
these
services. Librarians at the Saul Silber Memorial Library are available
to
assist students with all their research needs. Students can find
information
about the library services and resources at http://htclibrary.weebly.com.
Mid-way
through the
semester, your instructor will evaluate your progress in this course
and share
this feedback with the deans. This information will be used for
advising
purposes. You can view the form at http://tinyurl.com/HTCMSPR.
