Students are expected to submit all weekly assignments and quizzes. All
chapters will be completed in the order presented. Students may work ahead
but once a due date has passed, the quizzes are no longer accessible and
the transcription assignments are worth only half credit.
A final grade will be based on the quizzes, weekly transcription assignments,
and final exam. A computer, headset, and foot pedal are required for
completion of weekly assignments. Printer access is also very helpful.
