  This course is a self study, student paced, original research project.
This is for MSM students. (Check the catalog to see if you can take this course )
You should have had Business Research Methods, and be a few courses into your program.
I typically run this course every term, but registration may be moved around the various WR sites so check registration at all the sites if you are ready to take this course.

  Contacting Dr. Lou -- How To's and Issues  

Your troy.edu email account is Troy's "official" means of reaching you for all things administrative.
For your own protection, you should either monitor the account or have it forwarded to another account.

CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION on FORWARDING TROY EMAIL

I'm usually pretty good at getting back to people. Sometimes I space it out, or I'm on the road teaching, but I do my best.
If you are not using your Troy email account, then please have it forwarded. I'll respond to any email you send, but that doesn't mean you'll receive it. If you are having problems getting ahold of me, check these out:

Did you put me on your White List? -- AOL, miltary servers, and very tight spam controls may require that you specifically allow email from me. Please allow all mail from troy.edu and lonesaguaro.com

Are you sending over a military server? -- Using your military (or corporate) account may "sanitize" incoming emails, especiallly those with attachments.

Is your freebie email full? -- Hotmail, gmail, & yahoo all have mailbox restrictions. If your box is full of videos, jokes & pictures, new mail will be rejected.

Am I out of town? -- I travel to teach and for other reasons. Even when at home, I check my mail in the morning, sometimes later in the day. I don't live at my computer (it makes my legs swell up!)

Did you follow instructions? -- Directed study and MGT 6627 students should use the FORUM. I typically have 20-30 students each term. This is the only way I can keep everything straight. Please read the help page if you are having problems.

Maybe I spaced it out? -- I get 30-40 emails a day. I may miss a reply or two. (I know this never happens to you!)

If you really need a fast reply, call me 9AM to 9PM MST. My phone appears on all of my syllabi. If no one anwers, let it ring 10-12 times, my voice mail will eventually pick up. I will get back to you.
