Classroom Management:

The Business Lab is considered a "work place simulation" experience.  Students will, therefore, not talk when "the boss" is conveying information.  The sharing of ideas through discussion is encouraged, however, noise levels must be appropriate for the work environment. Ethical and courteous behavior is expected at all times. It is the student's responsibility to seek information and assignments missed when they are not present.
