Student
Learning Outcomes and Course Objectives:
Methods of Measuring Student Learning Outcomes:
Student Obligations:
·
Attendance: Since this
course is online, only attendance at the Final on October 18 is necessary. It’s up to you to go to the course materials
in Desire2Learn (d2l) and do all of the required work. Please note that failure to complete 10% of
the total course work by the third week of the class may result in your being
dropped from the course.
·
Discussions: I want everyone
to take a pro-active approach to learning this material. This includes using the Discussions link to
ask questions and also answer other students’ questions. I will also post questions each week that you
can answer to further your understanding of the material. I expect two postings each week unless
otherwise noted.
·
Projects: There will be six
hands-on projects and six case projects credited for homework for the
class. The projects will help reinforce
what you are learning in each lesson. The due dates are located in the SCHEDULE portion of this handout. You will submit your results into the d2l
discussions area in order to receive points for that assignment. On all projects you are expected to do your
own work.
·
Quizzes: After each
lesson you will be required to take a short quiz, which will test you on the
material covered. It is open-book and
open-notes. You can take the quiz
multiple times to improve your score, but be aware that the questions will
change each time and that your most recent score will be the one counted as the
grade.
·
Final Exam: The Final Exam
will be matching, short-answer and essay in format. You can use both your notes and your
book. You must submit the answers for
the Final at the college on Saturday, October 18, from 1:20 p.m. to 3:20 p.m.
in the BS-153 classroom. You will have
access to the final exam one week before the due date. You only come to the college to submit your
answers on paper. It is necessary to
show a picture ID for identity verification.
·
Late Work: Unless noted,
all assignments are due on Sunday by midnight each week. Late work will be accepted ONLY if you have
contacted me prior to the due date either by email or voice mail. In general, late work is due the next week,
and no late assignments may be turned in after one week from the original due
date, regardless of the reason. For
every day an assignment is late, you will lose 10% of its grade.
·
Due Dates: Unless noted,
all assignments will be submitted in d2l.
If, for any reason, you cannot access d2l or are unable to submit the
assignment on time, please email it to me instead so that you are not penalized
for being late. Quizzes cannot be taken,
nor can discussion items be completed after their due dates. If you miss a quiz and you want to make up
points, you can take advantage of the extra credit assignments posted in
d2l. Everyone is welcome to work on the
extra credit assignments. Typically,
they are five to ten points each, depending on the difficulty of the
assignment.
