The course also provides critical information that every member of our community must know. Stern is offering training sessions on April 14 and May 13, both from 9:30 – 11:00 am. NYU is asking all faculty, administrators, and staff across our New York campus to attend the program during academic year 2015. Please follow these instructions to sign up for a session:
1. Locate the NYUiLearn Login button and click to view the welcome page
2. Search for Preventing Campus Violence course by typing course code HAS 001

Stern’s teaching guidelines include a section on Grading and Assignments. For the full guidelines, click here.
Grading & Assignments
Grade distribution in core (MBA)
Just a reminder that the MBA core course grade distribution applies to both the Langone Program and the full-time MBA program. If you are teaching an MBA core course, please do not give more than 35% A range (A and A-) grades.
Pre-Work
If you assign pre-work, e-mail your students to let them know, as they may not remember to check NYU Classes or your syllabus. If you send communications to your students before the final date to add your class, be sure to resend all communications on that date, so late registrants get all the information. If you are teaching students in their first semester, don’t e-mail them before pre-term, as they will not be checking their Stern e-mail accounts until they have been through orientation.
Discarding student papers
Faculty should keep all exams, assignments, etc. that have not been returned to students for at least one full semester following the one in which the course was offered. (This includes materials that have been left in the department for students to pick up.) If an incomplete grade is granted, faculty should keep all assignments submitted by the student who received the incomplete for at least a semester following the one in which the incomplete is changed to a grade or lapses to an "N" (in the case of an "IP") or an "F" (in the case of an "IF").
Providing feedback
The instructor has a responsibility to provide feedback to students on their performance at appropriate intervals throughout the course and respond promptly to questions and concerns about grading.
Final deliverable & grade due date (MBA) PLEASE make sure that your final deliverable due date is no more than one week after your last class. This rule applies every semester and every module.
PLEASE submit your grades no more than one week after the final class meeting, final exam, or final assignment due date, whichever is latest.
We are not doing students any favors by dragging out their course completion (whatever some of them may tell us!) and we cause problems when we delay their ability to give their employers transcripts, which many need to have their tuition reimbursed.
Simon Bowmaker, Clinical Associate Professor of Economics, has been at Stern for eight years, by way of the University of Edinburgh, Florida State University, University of Colorado, Georgia Tech, SUNY Buffalo, Stanford and UT Austin. After he received his master’s degree in economics he knew his dream job was as a practicing economist, certainly not in academia. He was lucky enough to get his dream job, as UK economist for HSBC Markets. He hated it. While working as a consultant in his next job, he had a chance to teach and loved it! He enrolled in the PhD program at the University of St Andrews, and after receiving his doctorate came to Stern.
Simon has developed four courses at Stern, including the famous and beloved “Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll”, as well as Behavioral Economics, Sports Economics and Transportation Economics. He enjoys teaching both undergraduates, MBAs and EMBAs, and never discloses which experience he prefers, though the students try to get the answer out of him.
He misses the UK, but stays connected via the Internet, and remains a huge fan of his hometown football/soccer team, Sunderland AFC. His week revolves around their games, which he watches religiously, usually at home. They’re in the top league, and are 6-time champions (though not since 1936).
Simon lives on the Upper West Side, and loves Manhattan. Teaching five courses per semester, he doesn’t get out much, but when he does he enjoys hearing live jazz, especially at the Blue Note just down the street from Stern. Simon has heard Pat Metheny seven times since arriving in New York. His office proudly displays a triptych painted by his colleague Will Baumol, one of the Economics Department’s numerous visual artists.
