are freely exchanged.
We value a safe, supportive, and productive classroom environment.
We value group work as an effective means of building collaboration
skills and enhancing the learning experience.
Classroom Values and Expectations

We will discuss these bullets in detail, as well as your role in
creating and maintaining this environment, in the Classroom
Values and Expectations session on Friday
24 STANFORD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
Cooperation is a defining characteristic of the MBA Program at the GSB.
Students, faculty, and staff, think of it as something that sets us apart from
some of our better known competitors. But we have to be careful about
the meaning of cooperation…
Cooperation
University Fundamental Standard
―Students at Stanford are expected to show both within and without the University such respect for order, morality, personal honor, and the rights of others as is demanded of good citizens.‖
University Honor Code
―Students will not give or receive aid in examinations; they will not give or receive unpermitted aid in class work, in the preparation of reports, or in any other work that is to be used by the instructor as the basis of grading.
Students will do their share and take an active part in seeing to it that others as well as themselves uphold the spirit and letter of the Honor Code.‖
GSB Statement of Professional Behavior
―All members of the GSB community have a personal responsibility for their own conduct and a collective responsibility for the conduct of all GSB community members in the School’s activities.‖
Standards of Conduct
Each section has been assigned an Academic Advisor • Management Foundations selection
• Degree requirements and academic policies
• Other academic concerns
• Primarily during Autumn Quarter, and then as needed for the rest
of your two years
Your advisor will work closely with the academic advising
team and other relevant staff to provide an integrated
student experience
Please keep in mind: Sign up for advising appointments
early; availability may be tight
