bakalo@mef.edu.tr Önder Bakal Office Hours: Tuesday by appointment via email/phone, or usually just after the lecture time Phone: 0 212 395 1350 Email: bakalo@mef.edu.tr In this course, active participation is key to learning and applying, as for a complex and multifaceted concept of strategic management, as new ideas can be generated through questioning, brain storming and discussion. Thus the grading of the class participation will be done based on the quality of active student participation and contribution to in-class activities. Students are expected to attend all sessions and be in class on time. When they cannot attend due to a sickness (which should require a report from a full facility hospital) or an excuse accepted my MEF regulations, they should inform the instructors by mail. As the feedback and questions are very valuable for making the course a distinctive learning experience, students may visit the instructors during office hours or send e mails, for any course related issues. Academic dishonesty and plagiarism will be subject to the YÖK disciplinary regulation. Bu derste, sorgulama, beyin fırtınası ve tartışma yoluyla yeni fikirler üretilebildiğinden, karmaşık ve çok yönlü bir stratejik yönetim kavramı için aktif katılım, öğrenmenin ve uygulamanın anahtarıdır. Böylece derse katılımın notlandırılması, öğrencinin aktif katılımının ve sınıf içi etkinliklere katkısının niteliğine göre yapılacaktır. Öğrencilerin tüm oturumlara katılmaları ve zamanında derste bulunmaları beklenmektedir. Hastalık (tam donanımlı bir hastane raporu gerektirir) veya MEF yönetmeliklerimde kabul edilen bir mazeret nedeniyle katılamayacakları durumlarda, eğitmenlere posta yoluyla bilgi vermeleri gerekmektedir. Geri bildirim ve sorular, kursu farklı bir öğrenme deneyimi haline getirmek için çok değerli olduğundan, öğrenciler dersle ilgili her türlü sorun için mesai saatleri içinde eğitmenleri ziyaret edebilir veya e-posta gönderebilirler. Akademik sahtekarlık ve intihal YÖK disiplin yönetmeliğine tabi olacaktır. |
