Welcome to BUMA-001-0147

Hello, Everyone! Welcome to the Summer 2024 semester and this course. I am very excited by the opportunity to work with you this term and assist you in achieving your educational goals. I look forward to our class and getting to know each of you. If you have a preferred name that is not on the official roster, please send it to me. You are welcome to call me "Robert." If you are uncomfortable with that, then "Professor Holmes" is fine, too. However, I prefer to teach in an informal environment where everyone knows that they can speak freely, where each individual is free to challenge anything that I say when their experience differs. I want you to learn, participate, and question me if explanations of the subject matter seem too complex or difficult for you to grasp, at first pass. One of the many reasons I love teaching this Management course is that I provide real-world applications we can analyze, and discuss.

Please go through all the web pages to familiarize yourself with how we'll operate. You'll see that your textbook is FREE!!! (Are you smiling? I hope so!) Please contact me as soon as you have any challenges so that we can work together to meet your needs.
