You have probably discovered that you cannot access Connect, the homework bulletin board with McGraw Hill. I learned this afternoon in a faculty workshop that Connect is still being added to BB so that you can access it. Last semester the students needed a log in code which raised all kinds of problems. This semester the codes are being loaded without your involvement but that takes time. So Connect should be up this next week. 

Intermed students have their assignment on the Pastina Spreadsheet which is located in the content section of Black Board, It is not necessary to have the textbook as I included the questions on the spreadsheet. 

Cost students should read Chapter one and the accompanying questions, remember to use all resources on the textbook website http://www.mhhe.com/whitecotton1e. Be sure to access the Deming handout in the content section of BB. ReAd it and bring to class.

Ethics students please note that our class does not meet until January 29, regrettably this announcement did not appear on blue and gold. 

This semester we will also be requiring cost and intermed students to make a post on the discussion board about the power point, an article they read on the topic, or expanding on a point made in the chapter about a company. The point will be to get all students engaged chapter by chapter. Posting papers in the Ethics class is an integral part of the course.
