1 out of 1 points Catalog Year When you sit down to prepare for registration, make sure that you have your degree plan available and that you understand the requirements.

Where do the requirements listed in your degree plan come from? They come from the catalog. Each academic year, a new catalog is issued, and requirements can differ from year to year.

Every student is given a catalog year. This catalog lists the requirements that students must complete in order to earn their degree. Requirements for a degree can change from year to year, so it is critical that you know your catalog year. All of the UT Dallas catalogs are available online.

The answer to this common question is being given to you, but you are now charged to never forget it.

Question:

What is your “catalog year” for your major?

Answer:

The year that you declare a major.

Question 9 1 out of 1 points Course Prefix & Number Lesson As you sign up for classes, you will see that courses are listed with a course prefix that indicates the department or program offering the course. Most of the prefixes are easy to figure out. MKT is Marketing. FIN is Finance. ACCT is Accounting.

UT Dallas course numbers are four digits. The first digit indicates the level of the course: 0 or D = remedial/non-credit, 1 = freshman, 2 = sophomore, 3 = junior, 4 = senior, 5-9 = graduate courses. The second digit indicates the number of semester credit hours granted for the course. Courses with a V in the second position are variable semester credit hour courses.

Here is an example course number: 4301. (Let's call this class MKT 4301.)

The first number, represents the level of the class (1 = freshman, 2 = sophomore, 3 = junior and 4 = senior). Since this is a 4, this is a senior-level class.

The second number in this course number, the 3, represents the hours that the course is worth.

The next two numbers (0 and 1, in this case) are particular to the course and help identify it in the system, so that each course has a unique number.

INSTRUCTIONS: After looking at this information, carefully read the following statement. Is it

TRUE or FALSE? A course with the number 3210 is a junior-level course worth two credit hours.



Answers True : False Question 10 1 out of 1 points Course Number Reminder Remember: UT Dallas course numbers are four digits. The first digit indicates the level of the course: 0 or D = remedial/non-credit, 1 = freshman, 2 = sophomore, 3 = junior, 4 = senior, 5-9 = graduate courses. The second digit indicates the number of semester credit hours granted for the course. Courses with a V in the second position are variable semester credit hour courses.

INSTRUCTIONS: After answering the previous question, carefully read the following statement. Is it TRUE or FALSE? A course listed as MKT 4V90 is a senior-level course worth a variable number of credit hours.



Answers True : False Question 11 1 out of 1 points Degree Plan - Explanation "What is a degree plan?"

Previously, the degree plan was referred to as "a map." This is not exactly true (although it's a good metaphor). A degree plan is a detailed account of the courses you are required to complete based on the program degree requirements outlined in the corresponding Catalog. It documents what you have taken, your grades, and what you still have remaining to complete.

By the end of Fall 2018, each JSOM student's degree plan will be available through eLearning.

Students who are not JSOM majors will not have a degree plan available through eLearning.

This includes actuarial science students and students pursuing minors in JSOM. If you cannot access your degree plan online by the end of 2018, please contact your academic adviser for your major to get a copy of your degree plan.

"When do I receive a copy of my degree plan?"

Before 2019, all students receive a copy of their degree plan at orientation or during their first visit with an academic advisor. The Academic Advising Office will keep a copy of a student’s degree plan on file, but it is the student’s responsibility to keep a copy of their

degree plan to keep track of their progress.

Look back at the information provided. Find the answers to the following questions.  What is a degree plan?  What does the degree plan document?  When, where and how do I receive a copy of my degree plan?

INSTRUCTIONS: Begin reading the text above and then answer the following question: What is a degree plan?

Answers: a hand-written detailed essay overview of the courses you are required to complete based on the program degree requirements outlined in the corresponding Catalog detailed account of the courses you are required to complete based on the program degree requirements outlined in the corresponding Catalog a bulleted list of the courses you have taken at the local community college a Catalog of courses that you are required to take to complete your degree, particular to your year and major 

Question 12 1 out of 1 points Given the information provided in the previous question, what does a degree plan document?

Answers: A. Your degree plan documents the courses that you have taken, your grades, and what you still have remaining to complete.

B. Your degree plan documents your travels, your grades, and the courses that you did not receive credit for during an attempted transfer of credits from another institution.

C. Your degree plan documents all extracurricular activities, your grades on major tests, and what you identified as life goals.

D. Your degree plan documents what you have taken, your assessments of instructors, honors earned and leadership roles.



Question 13 1 out of 1 points Degree Plan - Your First Copy (Fall 2018) Instructions: Select the BEST answer. That answer is provided in the degree plan explanation that you read previously (so review that text). Note that as of January 2019, JSOM students will access their degree plans through eLearning. Students with nonJSOM majors or those pursuing a JSOM minor with a non-JSOM major will need to get their degree plans from their own academic advisers.

As of Fall 2018, when and where do you first receive a copy of your degree plan?

Answers: A. All students receive a copy of their degree plan from their Program Director at a one-on-one meeting.

B. All students receive a copy of their degree plan when they go to the Career Management Center.

C. All students receive a copy of their degree plan at orientation or during their first visit with an academic advisor.

D. All students receive copies of their degree plans when an academic adviser drops out of the sky next to the JSOM parking lots and hands out degree plans randomly. Be prepared. This could happen at any point.

Question 15 1 out of 1 points

Degree Plan Information: Internships All degree plans will include a reminder about the internship requirement because it is a graduation requirement for all JSOM students.

All internships must be pre-approved and students are registered in an eLearning course while they are completing the internship. Internship courses can be completed for credit (1, 2 or 3 credit hours to fulfill a missing degree-related elective) or as 0-credit courses to designed to satisfy the internship requirement and officially document the student is completing an academic-related internship.

Whether you complete an internship course for credit or for zero credit, an official internship (meeting all requirements) is notated on your official transcript.

INSTRUCTIONS: Having read the text above, determine whether the following statement is true or false.

If you meet all requirements and complete an official internship, whether you complete the internship for zero, one, two or three credits, the internship will be notated on your official transcript.



Answers: True Fals e Question 16 1 out of 1 points More Information About Internships Today's hiring managers prefer to hire former interns for new positions. Why? An internship is, essentially, "a long interview." Managers feel confident that previously successful interns will thrive in the workplace because they have demonstrated adaptability and work ethic.

Are Internships New? Internships were relatively rare thirty years ago. Today they are normal and expected.

Resumes featuring internships are now the norm among college graduates. Most students in business schools complete two or three internships, giving them a wider network after graduation, more experience, and more options in their careers.

When Do I Find an Internship?

Students interview for competitive internships -- often a year in advance. If you want an internship next fall, begin to interview THIS fall. Don't put off the interview process. Start

early. Even if you think you have a settled timeline and know exactly what you want to do, keep interviewing and networking. Seek out multiple internships during your time in college.

Why? The interviewing process will help with your confidence in the job market. You might also find yourself meeting exciting people and being offered interesting opportunities.

How Do I Find an Internship?

We want you to succeed, to find opportunities you are passionate about. To this end, JSOM has a Career Management Center (CMC) of its own that supplements the UT Dallas Career Center. You may use both career centers -- but focus on the CMC's job listings, internship fairs, Handshake app, and network as you refine your internship and career search. You can upload a resume, have it approved so it will "go live," and begin your internship search by applying to posted opportunities. You can also "opt in" so that employers can search for your resume. Be sure to attend networking mixers, the Career Fair, and events at JSOM organizations that invite industry speakers and alumni. You can also search for internships advertised by companies on their corporate websites.

These are not the only ways to locate an internship. A new job can serve as an internship. If you have a current job that you've had for 6+ months, you might be able to do a special project (related to your major) at your job that could serve as an internship that meets JSOM criteria. Many students attend national conventions for college organizations that include networking and internship fairs; these contacts and fairs help students locate and apply for internships. You can also use your current personal network to locate opportunities (including peers in class, family members and friends) or apply for an internship abroad.

What is Pre-Approval?

What does it mean that an internship must be pre-approved? Before you begin work at the internship, you must complete a process that allows that internship to be vetted. Do not complete an internship and then ask for approval.

So, what do you do? After you interview for an internship, if you are selected, then you should get a written offer. This often occurs after a more informal contact -- like a phone call -- letting you know that you were chosen. If you do not get this offer letter, ask for one. You will need a letter written and signed by your new manager on the company's letterhead.

That letter should specify the job title, the type of work that you will do during the internship, where you will work, how many hours you will work each week, your rate of pay (some internships are unpaid), and the start and end dates of the internship.

Once you have the offer letter, make a decision. Will you accept the internship? If you accept the internship, recognize that you have made a commitment. As a professional, you cannot accept one internship and continue to interview, only to accept another internship weeks later and decline the first. This is unprofessional. It affects your future career prospects and the reputation of our programs and JSOM students. There are consequences for this behavior.

Submit the offer letter, a specific job description, a copy of your unofficial transcript, and anything else required (some students have additional requirements based on visas, point in program, etc.).

Your Program Director will review and approve the internship. The Career Center will also follow up to determine if the internship is legitimate; this due diligence protects students.

Remember that you will need to enroll in a course in eLearning while you are in the internship, even a zero-credit internship. This course will help you identify the skills and

abilities that you are honing in your internship, give you a platform to "tell the story" of your internship experience, and encourage you to create metrics that will enhance your future career prospects and resume.

INSTRUCTIONS: Having read the text above, determine whether the following statement is true or false.

To submit an internship for pre-approval, you just need the offer letter and a job description.



Answers True : False Question 17 1 out of 1 points INSTRUCTIONS: Please reread the text for "More Information About Internships."

Then determine whether the following statement is true or false.

Many students interview for internships a year before the internship will begin.



Answers True : False Question 18 1 out of 1 points Community Engagement Requirement There is a community engagement graduation requirement for all students that must be met before students can graduate. The Financial Times describes community engagement as "the process of working collaboratively with community groups to address issues that impact the well-being of those groups." Business school is about more than classrooms and theory.

Successful business students network within their communities, developing "understanding through action." That is why, just as there is an internship graduation requirement, there is a community engagement graduation requirement; one may not substitute for the other.

Service Learning The community engagement that you will participate in will primarily involve enhancing the abilities and services of non-profit groups as they function within the community and plan for the future. Your work with these groups is service learning.

Research shows that people who participate in service learning tend to have a broader world view, more empathy and a greater ability to lead teams. These experiences shape entrepreneurs and leaders who have a better understanding of their ultimate goals for organizations, service and community involvement.

Many competitive higher education institutions have adopted service learning requirements and documented student and community gains. JSOM is trying to give our students and community this advantage as well.

Goals:

   

Enrich the local community with student investment Solve problems in the DFW metroplex, improving lives Enhance students' educations with real-world challenges Create opportunities for practical application of skills

What is Service Learning?  A chance to bridge the distance between classroom theory and everyday logistic challenges  Opportunity for civic engagement, leadership, networking, tolerance, teamwork and adaptation This is a degree and interview enhancement. You will hear more about this opportunity during this semester. Consider how to use this to bring more value to your resume and experience goals. Don’t worry about the logistics of tracking hours; there is an app that logs and tracks your hours. If you are stressed about your time commitments, relax. Completing this requirement can be flexible if you have time constraints. The following are the two options that you will want to consider.

Options to Fulfill the Requirement:  BA 4095 "Social Sector Engagement and Community Outreach Practicum" - If students need flexibility, this is the best choice. This is a zero credit hour course with no classroom component. There is a requirement of 100 hours of service, but the student can select the organization(s) to which to give service (all service and organizations must be officially approved before service begins) and great flexibility in deciding when to give that time. Hours are accrued on student's own time. JSOM students who accrue 100 hours of service will be notified and automatically enrolled in the course.  ENTP 4340 "Social Sector Engagement and Community Outreach" - This upper level elective course combines classroom instruction with community engagement.

Students accrue their hours as they complete work for this 3-credit course.

Students work in groups to use business solutions to solve problems presented by community partners. The course meets weekly and there are no prerequisites; students must be at the junior level to take the course. A satisfactory grade in the course meets the service learning requirement.

INSTRUCTIONS: Read the description above. Decide if the following statement is true or false.

If I want to complete this requirement in a class where I work with other students to solve problems in groups as I earn course credit, then I should register for BA 4095 when I am a junior or senior.



Question 38 1 out of 1 points What is a Prerequisite?

INSTRUCTIONS: Use Google, or a nearby dictionary, to look up the meaning of the following word.

What is a good definition for prerequisite in terms of college classes?

Answers: A. prerequisite -- A prerequisite is a related to the word "exquisite" and it means "something beautiful before me."

Example: Many college students will take art courses in order to have a broader experience, and they will often emerge from an art appreciation lecture saying loudly to passersby, "Prerequisite! Prerequisite!" because the art was so beautiful.

B. prerequisite -- A prerequisite means that you are "pre-" (meaning before) "wrecked".

Example: Many college students come to classes without getting enough sleep and they are, thus, "wrecked" for class and unable to meet course expectations.

C. prerequisite -- A prerequisite is a required prior condition.

Example: Many college courses have prerequisites, such as the requirement that you must take and pass Spanish I (or receive credit for it through an exam) before you can take Spanish II. D. prerequisite -- A prerequisite is actually a construction site.

Example: At our college, you will notice a lot of construction. A "prerequisite" is a job site that is not yet a building or parking garage. The cement foundations and blocked off areas on our campus are usually pronounced, "Pre-wreck-quizsites," combining all elements of the academic experience in a single word.



Question 39 1 out of 1 points What are Corequisites?

INSTRUCTIONS: Use Google, or a nearby dictionary, to look up the meaning of the following word.

What is a good definition for corequisite in terms of college classes?

Answers: A. corequisite -- A corequisite is related to the word "exquisite" and it means "something beautiful with me."

Explanation: Many college students take art courses in order to have a broader knowledge base during college, and they will often emerge from an art appreciation lecture mumbling to themselves, "Corequisite! Corequisite!" because viewing art with others enriches the experience.

B. corequisite -- A corequisite is actually a construction site that is almost complete.

Explanation: At our college, you will notice a lot of construction. A "corequisite" is a job site that is almost complete, about to be dedicated as a campus building or parking garage. These areas are usually pronounced, "co-wreck-quiz-sites," adding that verbally painful "college twist" to a construction process.

C. corequisite -- A corequisite is a course that may be taken at the same time as another identified course in the progression.

Explanation: Many college degree programs establish a course progression to insure that students share a common academic foundation. When a course has a prerequisite, the content assumes a specific skill level or knowledge base. Some courses, corequisites, may be taken either before or at the same time as another identified course, since the content is related and prepares students for a later step in the course progression.

D. corequisite -- A corequisite is a course that may be taken by co-eds at a co-ed university.

Explanation: Many college degree programs welcome both males and females to take classes. Corequisite courses require that co-eds be active, enrolled participants in the course.
