Faculty Introduction

My name is Dina V. Durand. I have been a professor at Broward College since January 2010. I have a Honours B.A. from Walsh College in Troy, Michigan and a Honours MBA from University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. My academic specialties are: Operations Management, Customer Experience, Call Center Management, Project Management, Information Technology Application Development, Supervision and Management, and Continuous Improvement.

Prior to coming to BC, I worked in banking, public utility (gas & electric), and home warranty industries for 20 years. Throughout my career, I have had some fascinating experiences and worked with great teams and leaders. I am still very active in a business community.

I am originally from Russia, lived in Michigan for 11 years. I moved to Florida seven years ago.

I genuinely enjoy teaching here at BC. I find the students very personable and eager. I typically teach the following courses:
  • Operations Management
  • Principles of Supervision

  • Capstone
  • Business Ethics
  • Sustainability Seminar
  • Introduction to Business
  • Introduction to Management

Course Attendance and Participation Policy
During the first week of class, you must attend the scheduled class and select/assigned to a team or you will be administratively withdrawn from the course. Simply logging into the course will not satisfy your attendance during this time. If you do not complete the requirements of the first week of class, you should drop the course by the official drop/add deadline or expect to pay for the course.

It is very important for you to actively participate in this blended class. If you stop  attending on-campus class meetings or communicate with your team, participating in class discussions, do not submit assignments, or fail to take quizzes or tests prior to the withdrawal date, you will be administratively withdrawn from class and receive a W or, if it is your third attempt, an F.
If you stop participating after the withdrawal date, you will receive an F. To avoid this situation, you should remain an active learner in this class and always communicate extenuating circumstances to your instructor. Ongoing communication with the instructor is critical to your course success. Completion of tests, assignments, and other class activities are used as indicators of your participation in order to satisfy this reporting requirement. See the list of activities required for participation and attendance on the General Course Policies page.
