Fall 2018 Course Syllabi

The formula for grades is as follows. Graded items Item Points Item Points Chapter Assignments 120 Discussion Questions 50 Follow up Posts/Participation 50 Introduction 10 Quizzes (13) 363 Final Exam 50 Total Points Available 643 90-100% - = A 80-90% = B 70-80%. = C 60-70%. = D <59% - = F No Incompletes will be given. Exams will be true/false, multiple choice, and matching format. They are not cumulative. Open book and notes. IMPORTANT : All assignments (unless noted by instructor) are posted on the Blackboard course shell, accessible through the College’s website. Also, all assignments must be submitted electronically through Blackboard**. I designed the course shell to not accept any late assignments, so be sure to take the necessary amount of time to appropriately complete and submit the assignment on time. **If you are experiencing issues with Blackbaord, I have no issue with you emailing the assignment to me – there will still be a time stamp on your submission, regardless of which method you use. It is your responsibility to get the assignment to me. ONLINE NATURE OF COURSE To simulate class discussion, I will have you participate in the discussion forums. Protocol for these discussion questions (DQs) is as follows: • You will be required to post one initial discussion question of 125-175 words several times throughout the course. This will be due by Thursday at 11:59 PM. • You will be required to reply to at least one other students' responses per discussion question with a substantial follow-up. This could be a question about what they wrote, expansion on their thoughts, however you see fit. “Susie, I agree with what you wrote” is NOT sufficient. • Please include at least one resource (cited in APA format) for each discussion question response (See CITING section for further information). Late Assignments No late work will be accepted unless previous arrangements are made. Arrangements will only be made in emergency situations. General Education Goals/Objectives
