Course Overview
Business Cornerstone is an application-oriented course that
utilizes lectures, discussions, collaborative decision-making
exercises, case studies, on-line communications, presentations,
and written assignments to maximize student involvement in the
subject matter. The dynamic nature of the Business Cornerstone
course requires an interactive teaching and learning format that
utilizes experiential learning activities to enhance each
student’s involvement with the course content.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, the student will have
strengthened the academic skills needed for success as a
business major and will have a solid understanding of how
ethics, diversity, and globalization affect business operations.
Specifically, the student will:

1. Become a better critical thinker and develop well-reasoned
solutions to business problems (see Critical Thinking Inference
and Evaluation rubric);
2. Demonstrate an awareness of primary and secondary research
methodologies and techniques;
3. Be aware of group dynamics and how they are utilized in
creating effective teams;
4. Understand the vital role that ethics plays in decision
making;
5. Appreciate business opportunities and challenges provided by
globalization; and
6. Develop an understanding of diversity in the workplace.
Exams
Three exams—Two Exams and a Final—will be administered
during the semester. The exams will consist of true/false,
multiple choices, and may include short essay questions. The
exams will be held on September 27 and November 7. The
Final Exam, to be held on the scheduled date (December 10), is
comprehensive. It is important that students write each of these
dates in their calendars and be sure to be prepared. No make-up
exams will be given. Exams are designed to determine how
much the student has mastered the course content.
MAKE-UP EXAMS
If you are absent the day of an exam your only make-up exam
option is for your final exam grade to count as your exam grade
the day of your absence. In effect, your final exam grade will
count not only as your final exam grade, but also as your missed
exam grade. This policy applies to all circumstances (e.g.,
documented illness, traffic accident, family obligation). Your
final exam grade may only take the place of one missed exam.

Thus, if you are absent for more than one exam you will receive
a zero as your grade (no make-up option) on the second (or
more) exam(s).
Assignments
Assignments and projects must be typed. Assignments will be
graded on content, organization, mechanics, neatness, spelling
and grammar. Please remember to put your name on all of your
work.
Each assignment must be turned in when due. Work submitted
after the due date and time will be recorded one grade lower
than the actual value for each day that it is late.
Individual Assignments:
Individual assignments are just that, the students’ work without
assistance from anyone. It is expected the completed submission
is solely the students’ work. Individual assignments will
consist of three (3) Individual Exercises.
The first individual assignment will cover the Critical
Thinking—Inference and Evaluation learning outcomes.
Students are to read and evaluate the essay, “Sweatshirts from
Sweatshops” located in the textbook. The evaluation will
consist of locating errors in the essay that violate the Universal
Intellectual Standards and that contain Logical Fallacies.
Writing Competency
Every business student must write professionally. Written
assignments are found throughout the business curriculum
including courses in every major. In BA3300, you start with a
two-page written assignment in which your writing competency
is evaluated using the COB writing rubric (incorporated in this
syllabus). In addition, your essay must be free of the
fundamental writing errors shown in the following bulleted list:
· Misspelled words
· Sentence fragments

· Run-on sentences
· Inaccurate use of words
· Subject – verb tense disagreement
· Punctuation errors
· Grammar errors
You are responsible for proofreading, editing and using
software tools, such as spell checking and grammar checking
PRIOR to submission.
If this written assignment is rated unacceptable on any criteria,
you will be referred to the COB Writing Lab. You will find the
COB Writing Lab is listed in your menu of courses when you
login to Blackboard Learn. The COB Writing Lab contains
resources that you can access any time to improve your writing
skills. In addition, you can request to meet via online or face-
to-face with a professional writing tutor, Ms. Robin Kessler.
See the COB Writing Lab course for more details. Throughout
this course, you are encouraged to use the COB Writing Lab to
improve your writing skills.
At least two additional written assignments are required of
every student. Written assignments (except the last one)
containing more than 5 fundamental writing errors are returned
to the student ungraded and the student can re-write and re-
submit within 24 hours of the returned assignment. 50% of the
grade on a written assignment is based on your writing
competency.
Group Assignments:
Each student will participate in two (2) team assignments. An
important topic discussed in this course is teamwork. There is

no better way to learn about teams than to be a team member.
Teams will consist of 5-7 members. A 10-page-minimum paper
with PowerPoint presentation is a requirement for group
assignments.
The last team assignment will cover the Research and
International Business module and will satisfy the Effective
Written Communications and/or Effective Communications,
Core Business Knowledge, and Reality-based Business
Education learning outcomes. The teams will be assigned a real
corporation and will research the feasibility of conducting or
not conducting business in a developing country. Teams will be
provided the opportunity to present their decisions via
PowerPoint presentation and written paper.
Quizzes
Quizzes will be given at random points throughout the semester.
They will be given to assess students’ understanding of
concepts, as well as to ensure that they are keeping up with the
assigned readings. No make-up quizzes will be given.
Class Participation
Students are expected to fully participate in class discussions
(D/P). The discussions will be graded for:
1. Frequency — Number and regularity of your contributions.
Students are expected to completely answer questions and post
at least two responses in each graded Discussion topic on a
minimum of three different days a week. Post your initial
response to each discussion question in the Assignment Folder
and Discussion Folder.
2. Quality-content of your contribution is expected to have
quality:
· Writing about 100 words in your responses
· Providing additional information to the discussion

· Elaborating on previous comments from others
· Presenting explanations of concepts or methods to help fellow
students
· Presenting reasons for or against a topic in a persuasive
fashion
· Sharing your own personal experiences that relate to the topic,
and
· Providing a URL and explanation for an area you researched
on the Internet
Full credit is awarded when both high quality and required
frequency is met. Use complete and correct sentences. Always
proofread and Spell-Check your sentences before posting. No
credit is given for late entry into the threaded discussion.
BLACKBOARD RULES:
Communication: All written communication between and
among students and between students and instructors must be
through Blackboard. Blackboard provides an intra-
communication system dedicated to this class. The system
provides a discussion bulletin board, e-mail, chat rooms,
calendar, etc., that greatly facilitate course administration.
Individuals/teams should use the bulletin board to post
messages of interest to the class as a whole. Individuals/teams
should use Blackboard e‑mail to send private messages. Teams
should use the private discussion topics (groups) to
communicate with each other regarding team projects. The
preferred method of communicating is via Blackboard (e-mail or
discussion board).
All course assignments and exercises must be submitted via the

Assignment tab located within the course website.
Grades: Your grade for each exercise, assignment, quiz, and
exam will be posted in the “My Grades” section that contains
your grade book. Your course grade will be posted as well.

Fundamental Writing Errors
Effective written communication begins with the elimination of
certain types of writing errors. These fundamental writing
errors not only detract from the writer’s message but may also
cause the reader to stop reading. As a business major, you are
expected to avoid fundamental writing errors.
The fundamental writing errors are:
· Misspelled words
· Run-on/fragment sentences
· Capitalization errors
· Punctuation errors
· Agreement errors
· Inaccurate or misuse of words
There are several steps you can take to eliminate these types of
errors. Each of these steps is a best practice which you want to
incorporate into academic and business life.
1. Use the software provided tools, such as spell check and
grammar check. These tools will not catch everything but they
will catch many errors.
2. Proofread your written document. No one writes a perfect
first draft. All of the best writers proofread and edit.
3. Use a dictionary. Check the definition to determine if you
are using a word correctly and if your spelling of a word does
not appear in the dictionary, then you know you have misspelled
the word.
4. Use a thesaurus. A thesaurus contains synonyms to help you
evaluate whether a word choice you have made could be

replaced with another that may more closely reflect your intent.
5. Use www.grammarbook.com. This free online resource
provides basic rules.
6. If you have a weakness in a particular area, then use the self-
paced web tutors (Skillport) provided by UHD.
UHD Skillport offers online tutorials and self-testing on a
number of topics, including grammar and writing essentials.
Access UHD Skillport via the UHD website.
UHD Homepage > My UHD > eLearning > Training and
Documentation > Online Training Resources (Skillport)
Next follow these steps:
1. Use your network ID to logon.
2. Choose catalog.
3. Choose Business Skills Curricula
4. Choose Communication Curriculum
5. Choose a folder
Recommended folders covering fundamental writing topics
include:
· Business Grammar Essentials

BA 3300 – BUSINESS CORNERSTONE
Assessing Sweatshop Essay
You will use the critical thinking skills you have been
developing to identify violations of the Universal Intellectual
Standards and Logical Fallacies in the essay, “Sweatshirts from
Sweatshops” on pages 406-408 of your textbook.
On pages 387-405 of your textbook, you will meet Tanya,
Kevin, Elise, Dalton, and Hope. Tanya encounters a series of
discussions—the first with Kevin, the second with Elise, and the
third with Hope. The textbook describes how to critically
assess the arguments in the first two discussions (Kevin and
Elise and Dalton). Use these ONLY as examples for how to use
critical thinking skills.
In addition, you will want to review the Universal Intellectual
Standards on pages 336-347 and the Logical Fallacies on
pages 396-399 in the textbook.
Individual Exercise 1: You are to assess the arguments made in
the essay, “Sweatshirts from Sweatshops,” found on pages 406-
408.
Instructions:
Read “Sweatshirts from Sweatshops” on pages 406-408 and
complete the following:
· Part 1 – Applying the Universal Intellectual Standards
· Provide specific examples from the essay that violate one or
more of the Universal Intellectual Standards.
· Specify what is needed to correct the error.
· Minimum of TWO errors must be correctly identified to earn a

passing grade (35 points) on this part. To earn an excellent
grade (50 points), you must correctly identify FOUR errors and
specifically state what is needed to correct each.
· Part 2 – Identifying Logical Fallacies
· Provide specific examples from the essay that are considered
logical fallacies from the list provided on pages 396-399 of the
textbook.
· Explain WHY the essay is flawed by describing the logical
fallacy by name and applying the fallacy to the statement.
· Minimum of TWO logical fallacies must be correctly
identified to earn a passing grade (35 points) on this part. To
earn an excellent grade (50 points), you must correctly identify
FOUR errors and specifically state why each statement is
flawed.
Type your answers using MS Word with the following
formatting: Maximum length is 2 pagestyped, double-spaced,
12-point Times New Roman font, MS Word default margins;
cover page with title “Individual Exercise 1,” student’s name,
and due date.
You may use the grading form supplied in a different file as a
guide for completing this exercise.
All written work will be evaluated based on the UHD College of
Business Writing Rubric located on the last page of the course
syllabus. Any written work that is deemed to be unacceptable
as described in the rubric will receive a failing grade.
Grammar and spelling will be graded in this exercise. A
maximum of 10 points will be deducted for grammar and
spelling errors.

Submit your completed Individual Exercise 1 by the due date.
Note: Students are responsible for knowing and following
instructions given for this exercise.

Assessing Sweatshop Essay
The points allocated are designed to give you the maximum of
70 if you identified correctly and eliminated the error associated
with 2 intellectual standards and 2 logical fallacies. You can
verify this by adding the points awarded in the excellent
column. If you opted to identify 4 additional violations (2
intellectual standards and 2 logical fallacies), then you could
have earned 100 points maximum (or an additional 30 if your
answer was excellent).

1Inductive Reasoning: Inductive reasoning occurs when the
evidence at hand means that a given conclusion is probably true.
When predictions about how things will happen in the future are
based on past experiences inductive reasoning is being used.
2Deductive Reasoning: Is deciding that, no matter what, it is
impossible that the conclusion being considered is false, given
that all the premises of the argument are true. For example, “if

the batter swings and misses three pitches, the batter is out, and
Johnnie just did that, so Johnnie is out” is a deductive
inference.
3Analysis: Is used when separating the premises and the
assumptions being used from the conclusion that is being
reached. For example, someone proposes that that we
should”cut our product prices” because the competition is
setting their prices to steal market share from us. An analysis of
this person’s position would reveal that the person is making
assumptions about what the competition is doing (“cutting their
prices” ) and about what the competition is intending (“to steal
our market share”).
4Inference: When conclusions are based on reasons and
evidence. Either deductive or inductive reasoning inference
skills may be used. Inference skills may be applied to all sorts
of things including beliefs, opinions, facts, conjectures,
principles, and assumptions. It is important to keep separate
what we know to be true and what conclusions we infer based
on what we know.
5Evaluation: When deciding how strong or how weak a person’s
arguments are, or when we determine the believability of a
given statement evaluation is occurring. Ideas and arguments
are evaluated all the time.
