Attendance: as you might have noticed that I count your attendance as part of your grade. It is important to note here that your attendance includes participation in class discussions, which means that you are expected to do the readings before each class. If you don't read prior to the class discussion, you risk losing a significant amount of course credit because you are unprepared to participate in class discussions. Missing classes more than three times will result in the loss of your entire attendance grade and adversely affect your total class grade. You are required to inform your instructor, prior to the class meeting, if you cannot attend class. If you need to be absent on a test or exam day, you will take a test or exam prior to the day on which you will be absent. You need to take the initiative to arrange for a time convenient for all involved. . Please remember: A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on the part of your instructor. Extra credit: Extra credit assignments are not available. Papers and Presentations: It is important that you are responsible for proper spelling and neatness. You are expected to demonstrate in an all of your assignments and presentations a high degree of accuracy and professionalism. Due Date: Unless written permission is received in advance of the due date, all assignments have to be turned in on the day they are due. Assignments must be submitted on the day they are due and at the hour for which they are assigned. Should classes be cancelled by the institution due to weather or any other occurrence, assignments, exams, etc. are due at the next class meeting. When classes are canceled by your instructor due to professional obligations, you will be informed in advance and a special task will be assigned. Tests and Exam Policy: contents of the tests are non-redundant and non-repetitive, which means that chapters that are covered in the previous will not be included in the later tests. However, the final exam will include all materials except the chapters covered in the first quiz and midterm. It is important to note that contents of the tests and the exam will include materials from the textbook and from handouts as well as from whatever is covered by the instructor in the class. Taking notes in the class is very important and is greatly encouraged. Academic Honesty Please review the Academic Honesty statement in the catalogue and be familiar with the definitions of Cheating and Plagiarism as well as procedures related to a violation of the academic honesty code of ethics. Academic Honesty The integrity of an academic community necessitates the full and correct citation of ideas, methodologies, and research findings. In addition, each student can promote academic honesty by protecting his or her work from inappropriate use. Academic honesty is essential to ensure the validity of the grading system and to maintain a high standard of academic excellence. The principal violations of academic honesty are cheating and plagiarism. Cheating includes the unauthorized use of certain materials, information, or devices in writing examinations, or in preparing papers or other assignments. Any student who aids another student in such dishonesty is also guilty of cheating. Other possible forms of cheating include submitting the same work in more than one class without permission. Plagiarism is the presentation of ideas, words, and opinions of someone else as one’s own work. Paraphrased material, even if rendered in the student’s own words, must be attributed to the originator of the thought. Students with Disabilities Students with documented disabilities who may need accommodations, who have any emergency medical information the instructor should know of, or who need special arrangements in the event of an evacuation, should make an appointment with the instructor as early as possible in the semester, preferably no later than the first week of the semester. Students must also register with Diane Stoelting, Coordinator of Specialized Support Services (286-8076, [email protected]) in order to facilitate the provision of needed accommodations. Counseling Services and Academic Support The strains and workload of student life can sometimes feel overwhelming and it is easy to lose perspective when faced with academic, social, and personal demands. The staff of the office of counseling services in the lower level of Seton Hall and the Academic Support staff in the Learning Center in Seton Hall are here to help students manage the stresses of university life. All private consultations are confidential and free of charge. Appointment can be scheduled by calling 286-8536 (Counseling) or 2868072 (Office of Academic Support). 3 Chronological Outline of Topics to be Covered: W D Date 1 M W F Jan. 13 Jan. 15 Jan. 27 Syllabus and Course Overview Internet Marketing in Hospitality and Tourism Internet Marketing in Hospitality and Tourism Will assign teams and set presentation sequence Chap. 1: Overvew Chap. 1: Overvew 2 M W F M W F M W Jan. 20 Jan. 22 Jan. 24 Jan. 27 Jan. 29 Jan. 31 Feb. 3 Feb. 5 Internet Marketing in Hospitality and Tourism Internet Marketing in Hospitality and Tourism Principles of Internet Marketing Principles of Internet Marketing Internet Marketing Planning Internet Marketing Planning First Test analysis of first test result Chap. 1: Overvew Chap. 1: Overvew New online slides New online slides New online slides New online slides Covering all above materials Credits given (if needed) only if you are present F M W F M W F M W F Feb. 7 Feb. 10 Feb. 12 Feb. 14 Feb. 17 Feb. 19 Feb. 21 Feb. 24 Feb. 26 Feb. 28 Online Consumer Behavior Online Consumer Behavior Internet Marketing and Ecommerce Internet Marketing and Ecommerce Internet Marketing and Ecommerce Internet Marketing and Ecommerce Internet Marketing and Ecommerce Website as a marketing tool Website as a marketing tool Website as a marketing tool M W F M W F M W F M W F M W F M W Mar. 10 Mar. 12 Mar. 14 Mar. 17 Mar. 19 Mar. 21 Mar. 24 Mar. 26 Mar. 28 Mar. 31 Apr. 2 Apr. 4 Apr. 7 Apr. 9 Apr. 11 Apr.14 Apr. 16 Website As a marketing Tool Website As a marketing Tool Guest speaker Second test analysis of second test result Search Engine Marketing Search Engine Marketing Search Engine Marketing Search Engine Marketing Search Engine Marketing Email Marketing Third test Third test result returned and analyzed Social Media Marketing Social Media Marketing Social Media Marketing The future of the Internet Marketing New online slides New online slides Chap. 4 Chap. 4 Chap. 4 Internet Marketing Techniques Internet Marketing Techniques Chap. 6 Chap. 6 Chap. 6 Spring Break Chap. 6 Chap. 6 To be arranged Covering all above materials up to first test Credits given (if needed) only if you are present New materials online New materials online New materials online New materials online New materials online Chap. 6 Covering all but the first test materials Credits given (if needed) only if you are present New Materials online and Chap. 9 New Materials online and Chap. 9 Easter break starts at the end of the day Chap. 10 (Final paper due; sent attachment to [email protected].

College of Hospitality and Tourism Management Niagara University CODE OF PROFESSIONALISM PREAMBLE The College of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Niagara University educates and prepares students for a global environment, instills character and competency, and prepares students for personal and professional activities. Our program and curriculum provide a current and high quality education to grant students with a strong foundation for becoming leaders in the worldwide hospitality and tourism industry. Through a professional curriculum, practical learning experiences, and co-educational activities, our program is a leading national and international school of hospitality and tourism management. 4 In maintaining a professional environment, the college recognizes four cornerstones of professionalism - attitude, appearance, preparation, and conduct. All students in the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management will pursue, respect, and uphold our “Code of Professionalism,” for both the benefit and progress of the students and the college, both for today and for the future. CORNERSTONES ATTITUDE: Our attitude should at all times project a professional image. Our attitude will convey energy and enthusiasm. Our attitude will illustrate our commitment; we are committed to academics, our program, our university, and our industry. Our attitude will allow our individual personalities to shine through without compromising the professional presence of the whole. Through our attitude, we will show respect towards others. APPEARANCE: The first component of our appearance is proper attire. Proper attire will maintain our professional image. Most college functions such as guest speakers, alumni panels, recruiting events, and convocations require professional dress. We describe professional dress as a suit and tie for men, and a business suit for women. Our attire should be classic or traditional, and should look clean and pressed. The second component of our appearance is the area of grooming and hygiene. In this area we seek to achieve the standards of the traditional business environment. PREPARATION: Academic preparation is central to our program goals. Proper preparation for speakers and interviews dictates research. Researching the company, the individual, and the industry segment will allow us to make a good impression and will ensure a positive learning experience. We are prepared to challenge our faculty and administration to maintain high professional standards in the classroom, and to take an active role in our professional development. CONDUCT: Proper conduct within all settings allows us to practice hospitality and etiquette. We, through our conduct, seek to be accountable and responsible. When dealing with industry professionals and/or alumni, we are conscious of the need for proper greetings and introductions. We recognize the importance of follow up and responsiveness in our industry, and seek to demonstrate these objectives in our interactions with professionals and alumni. Most follow-ups require a reminder or a thank you note. Our conduct should at all times demonstrate respect, while certain situations may warrant being politely aggressive. OUR RESOLVE Each student in the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Niagara University recognizes the importance of supporting our program. It is our goal to maintain a professional presence in all of our educational activities, practical learning experiences, and when representing our college at any, and all, events. We believe our support and professional presence will generate critical mass in the areas of recruitment and speakers. We aim to stand out in our industry, both individually and collectively. By striving to uphold and maintain our four cornerstones of professionalism, we will maximize opportunities, create connections, and establish relationships to further the opportunities of our students and our program.
