BUS201: Principles of Management

Online Course Spring 2008

Dear Student,

Welcome to St. Charles Community College and "Principles of Management". This course is designed to give you an in depth examination of Management and its various functions, roles, and processes. It will help to prepare you for a career in business, or just help you to better understand the world around you. Do you want to learn how to get promoted? Do you want to understand what makes a good manager? Do you want to understand what makes companies successful? This course will give you insights into all these questions!

The online option of this course is designed to give you a great deal of time and place flexibility in taking this course. It does require a great deal of self-discipline on your part to do the required work without having scheduled classes. We will use the computer and Internet for most of our interaction and exchanges so you will need a computer able to access the Internet. I will review this at the MANDATORY ORIENTATION SESSION. You must attend the following to receive your course password and instructions:

Orientation:

Saturday, January 19 - TECH 101 - 10 a.m.

If you cannot attend the orientation you must contact me to make alternate arrangements.

You may order the text for the class from the bookstore either in person, by telephone, or online via computer: www.stchas.edu/bookstore.

We will go over how to use the Internet for this course at the orientation session. If you have ANY questions, write them down, and we will answer them at the orientation session. I look forward to interacting with you in exploring the world of Management.

WebCT courses will not be available to students until 5 working days prior to the start of the semester.
