FIB+Course+Outline

Welcome to **Futures in Business (FIB)**. In this 0.5 credit class, we will be discussing different types of businesses, business ownership and structure. The course will be divided into five units. Each of which will have a project (either individual or group) and a test. This year in FIB, we will be spending a great deal of time collaborating and researching online. We are also going to try and use Hootsuite, which is a twitter based webtool. This is new to me and we will probably have to work out some of the bugs as we go. The units of study for this course are:

o Understanding Business supply and demand profit and competition decision making model o Business and the Consumer consumer behaviour changing marketplace o Starting a Business types of business and ownership business responsibilities o Business and the Community economics systems private and public sector impact of business on the community What Makes a Business Successful? factors affecting success economic conditions government influence

If you are late and the door is closed, do not knock. The lesson has begun and you will not interrupt. Wait in the hallway until I open the door. You will make up the time after class.
 * Lates **

If you miss a class and don't have a note from your parents, any work done on that day will be void of marks. If for instance, if I assign work from the textbook, and you miss that class without a note from home, you will not receive the marks for that assignment. Notes must be turned in the next class at the beginning of the period. If you miss a test with no advance notice you will be required to bring in a note from your parents for the next class. If this does not happen, you will not be able to write the test and therefore receive a zero.
