Course Description: https:// https://www.deanza.edu/businessdept/courses.htmlPrerequisite Advisory EWRT 211 and READ 211 (or LART 211), or ESL 272 and 273.

Welcome to Introduction to Entrepreneurship! My name is Brian Bennett and I will be your instructor. BUS 55 is an online foundation course and this course provides students with an introduction to the promise and the pitfalls of entrepreneurship. Students will learn about the various methods for starting up, managing and financing a new venture. Also, students will get a chance to evaluate real-world business plans and watch videos of entrepreneurs sharing their experiences. This course will help you to develop entrepreneurial thinking and to understand the management skills needed in business. This is an online class where most of the class can be completed independently each week on the student's own time. The exceptions are the online Final Exam and Business Plan Zoom presentations. The Final Exam is held Wednesday March 24, 2021 between 9:00am – 9:00pm PDT. This is the only sitting for the Final Exam. The Business Plan Zoom presentations are held March 8, 2021, 9:00pm.

Lastly, this is a twelve-week online course – as such it “moves” at a quicker pace than a regular 12-week face-to-face course. Please read the syllabus carefully, review the course schedule, and keep up with the assignments and exams. Also, some weeks, we will cover two chapters and complete the related assignments. The CONNECT textbook package is required.

It is essential students understand that your grade or any comments about your business plan is not an endorsement to go forward and start the business, or invest in the proposed business.

1. Examine the steps required, the support available, and the tactics commonly employed byentrepreneurs starting a business.2. Critically evaluate business plans in terms of feasibility, investment

We will use the textbook and CONNECT in this class for Week 1 assignments, so buy the text as-soon-as possible.• Required CONNECT Web Site: Students will need to immediately register for MH Connect to complete select assignments. Please see the MH Connect section in Canvas. Choose either the PowerPoint or the MS Word presentation for the MH Connect registration steps. Students must pay the De Anza College Bookstore for access to these materials.• Inclusive Access: This is an inclusive access course that will be turned in late Mid-September, 2020. Once Inclusive Access (IA) has been turned on, students will be able to see the course materials in Canvas. Students will then be able to follow the instructions for this course, which include paying for these materials. All students that have not paid for their McGraw-Hill CONNECT materials will be billed for the cost of CONNECT access to their student account at De Anza College via the bookstore once the add/drop date has passed. With inclusive access, students will have complete access to CONNECT that includes the eBook, Learnsmart, Video Quizzes, and all assignments, quizzes, and tests the first day of class. The bookstore can provide more details on this as they do for every Inclusive Access course.• Ordering Textbook: Online ordering is also available via the Bookstore Home Page . Students are required to purchase the eText (textbook) and CONNECT package at the De Anza Bookstore. Also, students may rent or buy a supplementary paper copy of this book from Amazon or Chegg if you want a paper text. Again, the eText and CONNECT must be purchased from the De Anza Bookstore. Please do not use an earlier or later edition than the 11th Edition.

Run the readiness test by clicking on this link so that you can test your browser and see what plug-ins you might need.o You must have a current version of the free Google Chrome browser to view the McGraw-Hill CONNECT content. You can use a current version of your favorite browser for most of the other content in Canvas. From the instructor’s own experience, Firefox seems to run better with CONNECT. However, McGraw-Hill strongly recommends IE or Chrome. Please try different browsers to see which runs best on your own system. If that does not work, try another computer. o You will need to download Flash to view some of the videos in their graphical format. (Most people already have this installed.)o You will need PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Viewer to view the chapter presentations.o You will need the Acrobat Reader or some other PDF viewing application.o You will also need a personal email address in order to receive important course announcements.

• Reading and Writing Each week students will have one or two chapters to master. Students should read the assigned text chapter, review the lecture slides, study key word definitions, and be prepared to write well. Completion of all reading assignments is essential for successful performance on the Major Quizzes. Students should complete all reading and lecture slide review before starting the Chapter “SmartBook homework, “Assignments”, exams, case studies, and the Business Plan assignment to maximize the benefit from the weekly lesson. Some weeks, we cover more than one chapter. Consult the class calendar on a daily/weekly basis to keep up-to-date with the reading and assignments. Students will need the textbook for Week 1.

• “Connect” Chapter SmartBook Modules: In Connect, we will complete fifteen (15) equally weighted, Chapter SmartBook Modules counting 31.3% of your final grade.

Here are some ways that you can boost your performance in this class. Please use them!• Time Management” is the single most important skill in an online course. If you have a busy school week ahead, or have frequent, persistent, or high likelihood of family issues or work conflicts, please complete the assignments early rather than waiting until the due dates.• Obtain the textbook and read it. Some students may benefit from taking notes on the text or lecture slides. Printing the lecture slides provides a great platform for note-taking.• Email the instructor using the Canvas email address when you have a question, or ask your question during our weekly Zoom Office Hour meeting. • Schedule your work to complete tasks on time or early. Late assignments are not accepted.

• Again, this is a twelve-week online/hybrid course – as such it “moves” at a quicker pace than a regular 12-week face-to-face course. Please read the syllabus carefully, review the class schedule, and keep up with the assignments and exams.

• Find the “key words” listed at the end of each chapter. Write out the key definitions two or three times on paper.  Cover up the definition and test/grade yourself honestly. Also, some of the key words are listed in Canvas and include a definition. Again, write the key definitions in each study guide section three times each.• If you have a desktop, tablet or laptop computer, try to study without having your cell phone on, and nearby.• If offered, please complete the optional extra credit assignments. • Study the “Self-Test” sections at the end of each chapter.• Review the textbook material for the questions you missed on the quizzes.• Do not wait until Sunday evening to start the weekly assignments. Start earlier in the week. Some weeks we will cover two chapters or reading and assignments covering both chapters.

Students who plagiarize, submit the work of others as their own, or cheat on exams will (at minimum) receive a failing grade on that assignment and be reported to college authorities. Serious cases will receive a failing grade in the class and be reported to college authorities. Ignorance is not an acceptable excuse in a college classroom. If you are uncertain what behavior is acceptable, refer to the De Anza Student Handbook on Academic Integrity.

Zoom Etiquette and On-Camera Tips

Zoom Login: BUS 55 Student Access for Office Hour & Business Plan

Zoom Business Plan “Elevator Pitch” Assignment:

Video chatting in a professional setting is a new experience for many students. Here are some tips to help you look (and feel) like the most impressive Zoomer in the room.

Getting clear video is a lot like taking a good selfie -- it's all about contrast. Light your face more brightly than the background to make it easier to see you.

Hold your head high in the picture frame. It conveys confidence. Be yourself. Move physically and make facial expressions. Microphones pick up all ambient noise, so keep your mic muted until it's your time

to speak. Remember that when on-camera, other activities such as eating, drinking, shuffling

papers, and any other random noise-making activities are extremely distracting (and sometimes unflattering).

If you can't use video, upload a nice profile image of your face to your Zoom Account. Give your classmates something to look at while you speak.

Have fun!

Uncheck the box next to Prevent cross-site tracking and close out of the window. McGraw-Hill is aware of this issue and is working to deploy changes to our products that will ensure customer impact is minimized.
