Section 04265 · Read this syllabus · Summary checked November 4, 2026
One exam decides most of this section’s grade. When you compare it with another section, check the final’s weight and in-person requirement before relying on the course-wide GPA.
- How the grade is decided
- The final carries 70% of the grade, four quizzes carry 20%, and an ethics writing assignment carries 10%. The final has 40 multiple-choice questions and must be taken in person, without books or notes.
- Assignments
- Quizzes and the final assess business-law concepts; the writing assignment asks you to apply the ethics material to a scenario. Review-session attendance can earn extra credit.
- Required materials
- The course uses an online custom edition of Foundations of Business Law by Allison and Prentice, accessed through the course materials fee. The syllabus warns that the regular print edition is different.
These summaries describe the named sections and terms. Read your section’s syllabus for its current grading rules and materials.
