Fall 2019 Course Syllabi

assignment for a better grade, there is no reason not to earn an ‘A’ in this class. The more 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. Moodle 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. ON CAMPUS STUDENTS – along with the daily lectures, on campus students work together doing hands-on practice for each assignment during class. If you are not in class, you are missing out on a great deal of information and practice that is impossible to “make up” later. 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.
