TEXTBOOK: Managing Human Resources by G. Bohlander and S. Snell, 15th Edition, copyright 2010. This course deals with human relations from a generalist point of view. We are fortunate to have a text that is very current. Significant topical areas we will evaluate together this semester include, but are not limited to, managing the personnel function, legal issues facing human resource professionals today, collective bargaining and labor relations, safety and health, wage and salary administration, benefits administration, training and development, recruitment and selection, and human resources strategic planning.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
It is the philosophy of The University of Texas at Arlington that academic dishonesty is a completely unacceptable mode of conduct and will not be tolerated in any form. All persons involved in academic dishonesty will be disciplined in accordance with University regulations and procedures. Discipline may include suspension or expulsion from the University.
"Scholastic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts." (Regents' Rules and Regulations, Part One, Chapter VI, Section 3, Subsection 3.2, Subdivision 3.22)

Americans with Disabilities Act
The University of Texas at Arlington is on record as being committed to both the spirit and letter of federal equal opportunity legislation; reference Public Law 93112--The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended. With the passage of new federal legislation entitled Americans with Disabilities Act--(ADA), pursuant to section 504 of The Rehabilitation Act, there is renewed focus on providing this population with the same opportunities enjoyed by all citizens.
UTA is required by law to provide "reasonable accommodation" to students with disabilities, so as not to discriminate on the basis of that disability. A student's responsibility is to inform the professor of the disability at the beginning of the semester and provide him or her with documentation authorizing the specific accommodation.
Information regarding specific diagnostic criteria and policies for obtaining academic accommodations can be found at the following website: www.uta.edu/disability. Also, you may visit the Office for Students with Disabilities in room 102 of University Hall or call them on (817)272-3364.
