This thread is for all types of questions, and if you have a question about something, chances are many others also have the same question.
How do I know which courses will be offered online or in-person for each semester?
You could reach out to your advisor or the professors for the courses you are thinking about. You can also email me and I can send you the list because there is no way to post it here.
I am struggling to keep up with the workload for my classes and I missed the add/ drop period, am I stuck?
If you missed the drop/add deadline, don’t worry—you still have the option to withdraw from your course until December 5, 2024. However, if you’re receiving financial aid, I recommend reaching out to the financial aid office to understand how a withdrawal might affect your future aid.
There are also other great options to help you succeed in your course! You can consider getting a tutor, connecting with your professor for guidance, and working with me, your business coach, to explore strategies for success.
Is there an easier way to access the required reading? I am only currently able to see a very small portion on my screen at a time. Wondering if I am doing something wrong.
Thanks
There is usually a way but how you would go about it would depend on your device and reading platform. You should contact your professor to see if they have any insight or visit digital commons for assistance.
Hello Tracy,
I was having a similar issue with the online format. I purchase a hard copy of the book on amazon and found that to be much easier.
What is the business speaker series requirement for Fundamentals of Business?
The business speaker series is a requirement for BUS-107 (Fundamentals of Business) students that requires them to attend or watch recordings of business speaker events and submit 2 things they learned. It is required to participate in 6/12 of these. The schedule for events can be found in the syllabus, and on this site, as well as recordings of events.
Hello,
I wanted to get confirmation or clarity, reading through the syllabus for bus-107.01 (spring 2025) it states that we’re required to attend 4 out of 12 (part 4.4) and 4 out of 7 (part 4.5.2 – requirements); but in an above response I see that you mentioned 6 of 12, and I’ve seen that elsewhere. Can you confirm which number is correct, and if it’s 6 do you know if there will be additional recorded sessions than what are listed on the syllabus or not? If these questions should be directed to the professor instead please let me know.
Additionally, and this may solve itself in time, but the bookstore page seems to be down, is there an alternative site to purchase the wayfinder access code?
For the first part, if you are in an online section of BUS-107, you are only required to do 4 business speaker series while if you are in an in-person section, you are required to do 6 because some of the events are during class time. There likely won’t be more recorded sessions than are listed in the syllabus. As for Waymaker, hopefully that has resolved itself by now, sorry for the late response.
Hello,
Where do we submit the assignment: Tell Us About A Businessperson You Admire? I show that it is due by February 9th. Thank you.
It will be a discussion submitted in Moodle, but it has been moved to March.
