PRINCIPLES OF BUSINESS, MARKETING & FINANCE
Principles of Business, Marketing and Finance (PBMF) is a one credit course designed to give students knowledge and skills in economies and private enterprise systems, the impact of global business, marketing of goods and services, advertising and product pricing. Students analyze the sales process and financial management principles. This course allows students to reinforce, apply, and transfer academic knowledge and skills to a variety of interesting and relevant activities, problems and settings in business, marketing, and finance.
Textbook: We will use a classroom set of Intro to Business, 5th Edition: A Brief by South-western Publishing, Inc, ICEV and GoVenture Simulation.
All work will be handed in through Google Classroom.
Grading system: Minor- Activities/ Current Events/ Review material, and Major grades will come from tests/ projects/ Simulation. Daily grades are 40% of the final grade and major grades are 60% of the final grade.
PBMF is a "build-on" course, and it is important not to miss class days. If you miss lessons, you will get further and further behind. There will be tests on a regular basis. Feel free to come to me with any problems you have.
Tutoring is available in all business classes by appointment.
