Course Requirements:

There are

weekly deadlines

for completing assignments.

Discussion Forums:

Each week, you will have one or more discussion forums (one for each chapter.) For

each forum, you will need to post one answer to a question, two replies to other students’

answers, and two replies to students who have replied to you. Forums will close on

Saturday nights at 11:45 p.m. If you wait until Saturday night to post your answer, other

students will not have time to reply to you, and you will not have time to reply to them,

resulting in a loss of points for you. So please, make the discussion forums your first

priority each week in this class.

Homework Assignments:

Throughout the term, you will have six short papers due in the drop box. Each paper is to

be one-half to one page long. The deadline for submitting this homework to the drop box

is 11:45 p.m. Saturday night during the week it is due.

Paper:

A research paper is due near the end of the term. The topic for your paper is due early in

the term. Both are to be submitted to the drop box just like homework assignments.

Quizzes:

Each week you will need to take one or more quizzes (one for each chapter.) There is no

time limit on the quizzes, and you can take each one as many times as you like. The

highest grade you earn will be the grade recorded in the gradebook. The quizzes for each

week will be available until 11:45 p.m. Saturday nights.

Final Exam:

The final exam will be taken at the end of the term. It will have a time limit, and it can

only be taken once.
