Expectations:
All assignments are typed unless it is an in class group assignment or worksheet.
Everyone is on TEAMS and responds and checks teams regularly so you can communicate with each other and the teacher
You are aware of and refer to our class blog at least once per week
You are expected to continue to complete work when you are away
You consistently do your best to get work in on time. If you miss handing in 2 assignments in a row, you will be given an I form, and a call will go home unless you speak to me about why the work is late
Time will be given in class to complete work, if you have your own laptop or phone, bring to class to use
Regular misuse of phones is not acceptable.
It is my philosophy and hope to provide you with a useful, hands on course that will arm you with some basic business knowledge and a skill set that you can use in your life right now. I am a big believer in “side hustles” and believe you are all capable of creating your own business.
