  • 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.
