Teaching Philosophy: 

Teaching Philosophy Classes are not professor versus student. They are professor and student trying to achieve the same goal – preparing the student for the working world. I will expect that you are putting time into this class outside of our meeting times. For instance, I will expect that you have read the assigned readings and done the homework before class. If you ever are wondering why I have structured the class a particular way or given a particular assignment, ask me. Often, the answer may help you better understand the material and the goals of this class.

REQUIRED MATERIALS : 

REQUIRED MATERIALS 1. The Fundamentals of Production Planning and Control, by Stephen N. Chapman, published by Pearson Prentice Hall. ISBN-0-13-017615-X. (Henceforth referred to as “Text”) Price ranges from $40 (used) to $71 (new) at bookstore. 2. Supply Chain Game, Responsive Learning Technologies. Simulation Access Code: Must be purchased from the instructor ($20 cash or check made out to “Responsive Learning Technologies”).
