Fall 2018 Course Syllabi

you shoot, the more you learn, so if you re-shoot and re-shoot and re-shoot until you get it right, then you will earn an ‘A.’ Your final portfolio grade should match your final grade for the semester, as it is a reflection of what you learned for the semester. The exception would be late work. IF YOUR WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT GRADES ARE LOW BECAUSE OF LATE WORK, RE-SHOOTING WILL NOT IMPROVE THE GRADE, AND THE LOWER GRADES WILL BE AVERAGED INTO YOUR FINAL PORTFOLIO GRADE. Grading Scale: A (90 – 100%) B (80 – 89%) C (70 – 79%) D (60 – 69%) F (below 60%) Attendance: If you aren’t in class, you aren’t learning the material. ONLINE STUDENTS—The main advantage of online courses is that you can “attend” class whenever you want. This is also one of the largest disadvantages to online education because, without a set meeting time, it takes a great deal of self discipline to make sure you log in and get your work done. The online system tracks your log in time and, if you don’t log in enough hours, you cannot pass the class. Credit hours are based on a certain number of hours spent in the classroom, you are required to have a certain number of hours per credit in order to pass.
